    Is it supposed to be a one-sided drubbing?

    I would love to see Hatton shut Floyd up. But, I believe Floyd is a better all around fighter, as much as I hate to say it. Floyd wins UD.

    I agree with some things:
    PBF is no SRL
    the DLH fight was pretty close fight and hardly a wide victory for PBF
    Williams would be a very awkward fight, PBF prob wont fight him

    I disagree with:
    that PBF is afraid and cant beat Cotto
    PBF will struggle against Hatton
    the close fight with DLH is proof PBF will have a hard time with hatton

    So a sparring session from 10 years ago is proof that Hatton will hang with Floyd lol! The haters really pull out their bag of tricks on this one. Even though Spadafora actually had something that Hatton doesnt, REACH! Hatton has arms shorter then a ducks *****, and this is what you morons are counting on, a sparring session?

    Lmao you are a moron. A sparring match from 10 years ago, against a fighter completely different to Hatton, is supposed to be evidence that Floyd will have a hard time. Not lose, but a hard time lol. Aint that funny. Not lose, but just be difficult.

    The Teddy Atlas curse may strike again :lol:
    Floyd should kick his ass if he loses.

    STFU you ******!! I never said he was IN shape i've detailed the FACTS many times over. He was Floyd fought in Spetember 99, sparred in December and fought again in March 01. Who goes into the gym and calls out someone when they are drastically out of shape? Better yet WHY:lol:

    They ducked Spadafora for 3 years until he hit REHAB so apparently a conditioned Floyd only felt confident with a ****ed up Spadafora.

    You're posts continually amount to **** and rarely pat attention to facts, so go fly a kite:good

    Look clown it goes beyond the sparring and DUCKIng of Spadafora. Castillo and DLH have pushed Floyd in the ring after that point.

    Feel what ya like but Hatton will push Floyd hard.

    If Primadonna Boy has the guts to try and prove himself after that?
    Well Cotto and Williams WILL BEAT THAT ASS:good

    Ya know, I dont really think you are stupid, but you say some dumb ****:good

    The fact is that Spadafora whipped Floyd in the gym and Castillo and DLH took him deep in the ring. He aint no ****ing superman and he's always looked to take the low road in every weight class. HE"S OVER HYPED because he wont take all the toughest opposition in any class. What it MEANS is Floyd has trouble with effective pressure INSIDE and it was evident in that session. That's what Reid is pointing out:yep

    What I've always said? Is that I'll respect floyd(though I think he's a ****ing idiot of a human being) for what he does in the ring. I hear him make ridiculous statements about being GOAT and its ****ing laughable when he wont do what the best have DONE, fight and beat the best.

    If Tommy Hearns were undefeated at 47 right now? Floyd would **** his pants and retire:yep They dont even wanna talk Williams and its ABSURD and sad.

    Hatton will push Floyd harder than DLH and Castillo and when people see yet another "Not elite"(as they say) guy push him? REALITY WILL BEGIN TO CREEP INTO THE PICTURE. The demand for Cotto and Williams will increase and Floyd will chicken out and retire.

    So save you're breath/fingertips and please check out the league, it doesnt cost you a dime. Wanna show me whats up? Top my score next year, then tell me about you're theories:D

    I think PBF embarreses Hitman, but I realize that Hatton is similar to Castillo, so he may have some good rds. If Hatton fights rough and tough like when he fought Tszyu, I give him a very good chance.

    THat fact that ppl say Oscar took Floyd deep or even gave Floyd all he can handle is a myth. The fight wasn't close, and Floyd wasn't pushed! Don't read into the GBP scorecards! Floyd clearly made it the fight he wanted it to be, and there was nothing Oscar could do, but land a few Jabs that's ppl on here over exagerate!

    You are doing alot of assuming when you make a claim that Floyd will not fight Cotto, or Williams! Arum sounds like he seems more interested in Cotto fighting someone else, and Williams just needs to fight, and win! I have no doubt Floyd would fight either guy!

    Now to Ried, and yourself,...that sparring session was yrs ago, and Floyd was out of shape no matter how you slice it so to take that session, and actually make it out to be a blueprint to beating Floyd is ridiculous! Hatton is a pressure fighter, so was Castillo, but Castillo gave a injured Floyd a tough fight the 1st time around but didn't beat him, the 2nd time an injured free, and still young Floyd beat him easily so there goes the myth of Floyd handling pressure not well! Castillo in his prime was IMO better and more effective than Hatton! He had a jab, and power in both hands whereas Hatton highly relies on his left hook, holding/hugging and coming in head first! Hatton is very good at what he does, but you also have to look at the opponents he had in front of him. Zoo was the only elite fighter, and yes he was old, and aging, and inactive, but 4get that. Zoo was a fighter who needed range, and Hatton style was perfect to defeat him. He had fast enough feet to get inside and smoother him, hold him, foul him, and make it down right dirty and ugly! That's when Hatton's at his best. Zoo didn't have the speed, and countering ability to effectively make Hatton pay, nor did he have the movement. Zoo fights like he's wearing ski boots, and he has little to no head movement! Floyd is the total opposite of Zoo w/a much better overall offensive package. What Hatton did to an old Zoo won't be anywhere near as effective against a prime, smarter, faster Mayweather:nono It's not taking anything away from Hatton as a fighter, but it's just a fact! Floyd will adjust if he needs to whereas Zoo couldn't or just didn't. Floyd will avoid alot of those punches that Zoo couldn't, and he won't be as available as Zoo! I don't think Hatton will be so willing to take a couple of punches to get a punch off by the 5th rd of this upcoming fight! I Hope Hatton isn't taking his own comments about Floyd hitting lightly seriously! I think Floyd will sit down on his punches, and I believe he will stop Hatton betweens rds 8-10:deal

    Now onto saying dumb ****:good

    You my friend say dumb **** everytime you bring up that sparring session. See fights are won in the ring by fighters at there peak of conditioning(key words peak, and ring) not in a sparring session! To believe or take anything from that sparring session is just dumb! Reid and yourself are on some **** to even attribute anything from that as reasoning for a win on Hattons behalf!

    It's was sparring, and it was almost 10yrs ago,...you do realize that don't you!:huh

    I would just like to add to Biggame's great post. This is directed to C Money (don't know if your a Hatton Hugger or just looking for the next guy to beat Mayweather) anyway, isn't it not a 100% fit Hatton who is currently looking bad in sparring...
