Back when Hatton fought Mayweather, how many of you actually expected Hatton to win?

    Be honest.

    I thought Hatton would win at the time.

    yea i did as well , but i did not know a whole lot about boxing outside of the UK back then and didnt really know how good mayweather was , i lost a fair bit of money so i promised myself i wont be making that mistake again and now i always clue myself up when betting on anyone now that im unsure about .

    Don't expect many to be honest. I picked Mayweather but did pick Hatton to beat Pacquiao. :yep

    i never thought he had a chance against Floyd. I was actually surprised Floyd could not take him out sooner. In many ways he was the ideal Floyd opponent: come forward, limited, small, white, comes with his own fan base so a big payday. In other words, another Gatti.

    I cant recall the last time I picked against Mayweather... I had him beating Hatton pre fight.

    Pac and Cotto on the other hand, I would consistently get their fights wrong.

    Picked Mosley over Cotto
    Picked Cotto over Pac
    Picked Cotto over Margarito
    Thought Mayweather would win easy vs Cotto

    I did not. Hatton looked awful and so vulnerable against bigger fighters like Collazo. Collazo deserved the nod btw. I was honestly surprised Hatton lasted as long as he did, he did better than I expected.

    People thought Hatton was going to beat Pac as well, I thought they were nuts.

    Picked Hatton to beat Floyd. You can't beat two guys in the ring.

    I honestly thought Floyd would beat Hatton in 7-8 rounds and Pac would beat him in 4-5 rounds. Hatton was not anywhere near their level, I was in disbelief when I finally got around to joining forums and found out people so many people gave him a chance against these guys.

    I had Floyd all the way, although the K.O did surprise me.

    Just like how the Brits had Haye as the betting favorite over Wlad. They are a gullible delusional bunch for sure.

    Brits know how to support and appreciate themselves. They're definitely not virtual degenerates that call their fighters "glass jawed" or other ridiculous junk like others do.
