    How is that Mayweather Jr is getting too much credit for his win over Hatton?
    Hatton had one outing at 147 and looked like sh*t. As far as I know, there are other 147 champs Floyd Jr could have fought.

    147 WBA: Miguel Cotto
    147 WBO: Paul Williams
    147 IBF: Kermit Cintron

    Antonio Margarito
    Shane Mosely


    The last time I checked, 140 is before 147 on the number line...

    true but you need to consider that Floyd started at 130

    Hatton started at 140 and stayed there...So Floyd has moved upfrom a far lighter wieght.

    Secondly ..no one and I mean no one has even come close to doing that to Hatton...thats was a beat down and a boxing clinic

    I ve never seen hatton head snap so much from hits not even Tszyus best right did that much damage (and I am the biggest Kostya nutthugger on this forum!!)

    Yes it would be good if his next fight is the "other legit 147" champ who ever that turn out to be but for now we need to give mayweather his due props....

    Your late! and wrong! PBF is a small 147lber he is more natural at 140 the... So his win over hatton and credit for it is well deserved!

    Mayweather only fights where the money is at! So tear your list down to two people capable of making money! Cotto and Mosley!

    And Mayweather doesn't fight losing sparring partners! so that leaves one person worth fighting on your list!

    Mayweather could've fought Cotto or Williams. Cotto deserves to fight PBF. Williams is still new at top level and needs more quality wins, but he could've fought PBF. However, fighting Hatton was an excellent idea because that fight was in talks since 2005 and it was undefeated champion vs. undefeated champion.

    Mosley will turn 37 years old next year and lost recently.

    Cintron is nothing more than a fringe contender that was lucky and got a title shot against Mark ****in Suarez.

    Margarito :rofl :rofl

    I knew threads like this would come after PBF beat Hatton. You PBF haters are too easy. Funny you didn't mention this before the Hatton fight. Quit making excuses and give the man his due for once damn.:-(

    No matter who beats who - there's always going to be somebody next.

    Let them guys wait there turn.

    Cotto and Mosley are the only ones that deserve a shot at Floyd. Cotto more than Mosley - only because of the win over him.

    Cotto only has a belt because Baldi got a raw deal. Carlos quintana was not comp. So quit saying that these guys deserve shots. Floyd has had three title defenses and won a Light MW title in the last 4 fights. Let Cotto make another defense against Williams and then the winner gets all the belts. (that matter)

    Man, I wanted Hatton to win but I'm giving Floyd full credit. There were a lot of people who thought he had a good shot, I gave him 30%. Most of the people who said Hatton was too small, Mayweather was stronger, and Hatton looked like crap in his previous outings were Mayweather fans. In fact a lot of excuses that Hatton fans, yourself included, have made since the fight were predicted by Mayweather fans prior too the fight!!
