    The only reason Floyd wants to make the fight with hatton now and destroy hatton is because Oscar has been said to want to fight hatton for his next fight .....

    Floyd knows that if he destroys Hatton which will be rather easy for him he can collect about 10 million for easy work and it will erase hatton as an opponent for dlh thus keeping him among the front runner for dlh next fight next year !

    PBF is a smart man !

    Nah. They've been somewhat linked for a couple of years now. Mayweather wanted to fight him back in 2005. The paths have become crossed once more since they're probably the most lucrative opponent for each other again at this stage.

    easy my ass! Floyd had a very hard time beating Judah.

    And practically lost to Castillo a couple years back

    And won a SD against a old, shot, ODLH

    You think Oscar is shot? How can you say you know boxing when you think Oscar is shot? Take a look at his fights, the guy is in great physical form, has speed and power, what makes you think he is shot?

    its common knowledge that the only fight floyd wants is a dlh rematch and if a fighter like hatton stands in the way of floyd-dlh 2 then floyd is going to get rid of hatton !

    STRUM made him look a lot older, and beat him more convincingly than Mayweather only to get robbed, and that was several years earlier :deal

    ^ Yep, Sturm made a smaller ( fat ) Delayhoya look old. Mayweather made a Larger ( conditioned ) Delahoya look old.

    Come on now, DLH was out of shape. That was the heaviest he ever fought.

    Regardless, Oscar had looked very ordinary in two of his past three fights. The last fight he looked even close to his prime was SSM II way back in 2003, and he still lost :hey

    Even when he kicked Mayorga's ass he looked noticeably slower than he did a few years ago. My point is you're saying that "Floyd made Oscar look old" is saying that as though De La Hoya isn't actually old
