    Mayweather v. Hatton has the potential of course, but who thinks it will be a better fight than something like Taylor v. Pavlik?

    What are your thoughts on what will be FOTY?

    I dont think Maywheather/hatton will ilve up to the hype

    so far for me,Taylor/Palvik, Cotto/Mosley are the ones to consider

    Mayweather-Hatton wont come close to being a FOTY candidate the way I see it.

    FOTY will be either Marquez/Vazquez 2, Katsidis/Earl, or Codrington/Bika

    I like Pavlik/Taylor for FOTY so far, here's to hoping Hatton/Mayweather can live up to the hype

    Mayweather/Hatton has the potential to be like Mayweather/De La Hoya:deal

    I think that's what some people are afraid of.

    I expect Hatton to be more agressive than Oscar but he won't get close enough to pbf who is highly unlikely to trade with Hatton:think

    Hatton v Mayweather won't be like De La Hoya v Mayweather. Stylistically Hatton's totally different, and closes the distance quicker. He's also much busier than De La Hoya, maybe not as intelligent between the ears. I think Hatton's style will bring out more venom in Mayweather. He won't have any option but to trade with Hatton's style, although "hit and move" will be his main gameplan. However, he'll open up more with Hatton, he'll have to keep him in check.

    1. Marquez-Vasquez II
    2. Barrera-Marquez
    3. Pavlik-Taylor

    I don't think there are any significant fights coming up this month that can even come close to matching these.. especially Floyd-Hatton.
