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

    I watched it at a house party and every single guy there picked Hatton apart from me. Why? Because nobody knew who mayweather was back then in the UK. Even now he isn't that popular/well known

    I always had a hard time picking Hatton since he always looked more like an 80 year old grandma than a boxer.

    I thought Mayweather would win a decision. I was surprised he stopped Hatton, especially when Zoo couldn't.

    Exactly it wasn't close! It was a clinic on inside fighting. Hatton smothered all of his work while PBF picked his shots set traps and took Hatton apart with precise accuracy it was beautiful to watch PBF operate on the inside at times during that fight. One of PBF's last prime performances.

    I picked Hatton in both fights. Mayweather and Pacman. After those fights, I learned there is so much more I still need to learn about boxing.

    Pacman continuously surprised me. I picked against him in four of his big fights.

    De Le hoya, Hatton, Cotto etc

    He cost me a fair bit of money to be honest.

    I had mayweather couldn't believe he was near enough even money in the uk come fight week. Although I was dying for a hatton win. Did also get hatton v PAC completely wrong had hatton to is too him round 1-3, if I knew hatton had been getting ko'd in sparring weeks before I wouldn't have bet.

    I loved the hype, great atmosphere.

    But in reality as soon as I saw them both move in the ring I didnt think it would last as long as it did.

    Ive said it all along its a jab that will finally beat Floyd not hooks.

    Not a chance.I liked Ricky but knew he was extremely limited and had Jnr and Manny beating him easily.
    However,i also picked Kostya to KO him.

    He had a very little chance especially at 147lbs. He had more sway than he realised with the fans he brought etc should have tried to get Mayweather to box him at 140lb when negotiating, where it would have been closer, but ultimately he would have still lost.

    Cotto seems to be at the bottom of all of your wrong picks! In fairness he and Danny Garcia are at the bottom of most if mine.

    I picked him to beat Mosley but otherwise my thoughts x2.
