    Judah was until the frustration of the task took over.

    I don't think Hatton could have given a better account of himself. It was competitive for a few rounds until Floyd figured him out.

    Hatton wasn't at his natural weight, which is an argument possibly.

    This is an argument im not convinced by

    I beleive at that time Hatton was a WW boiling down to LWW , who on the night gave the absolute best possible performance he could of , and possibly to date

    You uninformed guys keep spreading this myth that Diego Corrales was weight drained in his fight with PBF. Even after PBR moved up to a higher class, Corrales was still fighting at Super lightweight; he fought Casamayor at that weight twice.

    I've been known to be wrong before but I think Corrales won a title at that weight two years after he fought Floyd.

    Yeah, and got his mouth punched in by Casamayor as well.

    He says before the Floyd fight in the pre-fight segment that he's only come back down to fight Floyd. Also, Corrales was mentally fragile and about to go to prison. He was not at his best and even if he was, not all that.
