    Hatton could have God himself in hos corner, and he still wouldn't survive 12 rounds. He just doesn't have the skill it takes to beat a fighter like Floyd. You can't just bull in head first and wrestle Floyd, it won't work. You have to at least have a little techinical abilty.

    By the way, love your avatar, keep fighting the good fight :)

    Fancy him to beat all the fighters at 130. Favour him at 135 over mosley. At 147 i'd favour mosley over mayweather. De la hoya is 50/50 for me. I'd actually fancy Tszyu to win based on styles even though mayweather is a better fighter. Hatton doesn't beat him whatever the weight imo.

    Hypothetically to answer your question...he beats them all with maybe the exception of Oscar. Mosley gives him problems early in the fight also.

    Yu know, Mayweather only truly has one decisive, sensational victory under his belt, and that was against Hatton. What, you wanna throw Diego in there do yu, a fighter, though a great one, that was never in PBF's class speed-wise?

    Mayweather would hve fought tszyu if he had beat hatton, they where already in discussions for the fight, he has been calling mosely out for years and mosely has never taken the fight(mainly because dela hoya wouldn't let him i believe but thats hardly mayweather fault)

    And as for cotto well yes its a fight i want to see(and i give cotto the best chance of any fighter 147 downwards of beating floyd) but cotto never became a superstar until he beat mosely, about a month or so before floyd had his last fight to date against hatton, at the time the fight was signed cotto was not much of a bigger fight than hatton was. Mayweather also offered cotto the fight back when they where at 140 together like he did hatton, they both refused.

    Mayweather gets a lot of stick on this forum some deserved some not so much IMO, i can see an argument for him ducking margo there some evidence for that, but the other fighters that people generally mention mayweather made efforts to fight them at some point. Also if floyd fought mosely now would he get any more credit than he did for beating dela hoya at a higher weight that he was not comfortable with when shane is older now than oscar was

    I agree cant see how Manny beats Floyd at this weight.
