All roads to greatness lead through Floyd Mayweather Jr.

hatton will choose to fight oscar over floyd. if he was interested in greatness he would fought pbf 2 years ago after his win over zoo.

 

If Mayweater cared about greatness he would of fought Mosley.:bbb

 

Not really. 147 is so packed that if the fighters(Mosley, DLH, Cotto, Hatton, etc) could decided to leave Mayweather on the outside looking in. Forget fighting him. And just fight one another and they could still become ATGs. :yep

 

Yeah And I Dnt Care How Many Time Hoya Loses You'll Always Make More Money Fighting Hoya Then Floyd. Even If Floyd Is Better

 

atsch

You're so delusional you must STILL believe you have 6 Masters degrees. Your nuthuggin ass said Floyd was top 3 ATG by beating DLH...a fighter you don't even hold highly himself. YOu have no cred *****. But the nuthuggers will love you I'm sure.

 

I don't care what anyone says, Floyd is the consensus top fighter at WW, he's the linear champ, and pretty much universially recognized as the top P4P fighter in the world. Clearly, anyone in that division who's a true competitior wants to fight Floyd. A win against Floyd would be the biggest victory of anyone in that division's career. The fighters at WW can become great without fighting Floyd, but beating him, especially now that he's still in his prime, would be a special accomplishment.

 

hatton would get at least 25 mill for fight DLH versus at most 10 mill for fighting floyd.

 

I agree with this:good

In response to bigtime9, Hatton would get more against De La Hoya, but a win over Floyd would be greater.

 

actually lets say hatton beats oscar (lets just say), i'd consider a win over oscar on par with a win over floyd. Oscar is 2 weight classes higher than hatton and a far bigger man. Oscar obviously isnt in his prime but he's still a very good fighter, a split decision loss against mayweather doesn't mean he's shot. if hatton wins it would be huge, imo.

 

Couldn't agree more. The money is nice, but the respect would be nicer.

De La Hoya has the payday, but Mayweather provides the real prize.

 

mayweather got 25 mil for his fight with oscar, why not hatton? if promoted properly, like dlh-pbf, they could get similar ppv numbers plus if held in wembley, with all of hattons fans.

 

Either way I don't see Hatton winning against either fighter. PBF would box circles around him and DLH would be way too big IF he can still make 147.

 

Good points, but I disagree. For both fights, Hatton would only be going up one weight class. However, Floyd is in his prime, is undefeated, is the top WW, and is consdidered by many to be the top fighter in the sport. If Hatton went up to 154 and beat DLH, you might have a decent argument. But that wouldn't be the case, which is why a win over Floyd is a bigger win for Hatton. There's a reason Hatton keeps bringing up Floyd's name all the time, and hasn't said much about DLH. He knows damn well which fighter does more for his legacy.

 

yea well hatton would pick dlh over floyd, if given the choice.
