    Not that I am a huge fan of Floyd when it comes to his opponent selection, but there are a couple of truths that need to be told.

    - at the time, the amount people clamouring for this fight was huge and in the UK at least a lot of people believed that Hatton has what it takes to win (remember ESB poll on the British Forum being about 50/50)
    - Mayweather was getting the better of Hatton on the inside anyway, so the fact that Cortez broke them up is really irrelevant here

    Speaking as a Brit, most of us acknowledge the glaring limitations in Hatton's boxing game. He had heart, could take a punch and had decent power. Defensively he was maybe slightly more competent than Provodnikov! As soon as he stepped up to the elite level he was exposed. Pacquiao figured out and exposed his limitations far quicker than Mayweather. A good litmus test for how they would have fared against each other.

    It was always a mismatch,no matter what version of Hatton.

    Floyd dragged up Hatton to 147. This fight meant very little. Hatton at his best = 140.
