    uhhh that's easy...Bayless with May/Maidana 2 lol

    go watch that fight again...around the middle of the 3rd rd it's like Cortez said "i'm working too hard" and let them fight it out. And once again, even in the 'phone booth', Hatton was NOT getting the best of it.

    Floyd knocks him out easily, possibly in 7-8 this time around.

    Floyd @ 140 was an absolute beast. Not even close to his 147 self at 2007 even though that version was great as well.

    Ricky might win more rounds without Cortez protecting Floyd's ****** but he will eventually lose a decision.

    Mayweather would probably open up sooner and stop him a tad earlier. But essentially the exact same fight.

    You don't get point in boxing for pushing the other boxer around, but for landing punches. How many punches did Hatton land on the inside the whole fight?

    Floyd was prepared for Hatton's inside game and used dirty tactics on the inside, which Hatton wasn't ready for.

    No, Hatton wins wherever there is a ref who allows him to fight on the inside. It could be Vegas, London or Timbuktu. Let's not pretend Parris is the only referee who lets the fighters fight.

    Maidana beats Mayweather too if he's allowed to fight on the inside.

    Mayweather needs a ref onside to beat inside fighters, that's why he cried after Maidana 1 when Tony Weeks allowed inside fighting in the first half of the fight and Floyd lost 4-2 or 5-1. It's the same reason he cried in the build-up to the Hatton fight and refused to fight in the UK in 2005.

    In the Maidana rematch he installed one of his favourites, a fellow "brotha" in Bayless who reffed out of character to ensure Floyd got his way in the rematch. However, he still looked like shit and almost got KO'd.

    I'm a fan of Hatton but Floyd is on another level. If it was in the UK, with a ref that let Ricky maul on the inside and it was the Ricky from the Kostya fight then maybe, MAYBE Ricky sneaks out a win.

    Nope, changed my mind. Floyd UD.

    Floyd is a better inside fighter than Hatton. In the actual fight, Cortez did Hatton a FAVOR not letting the fight get down and dirty. Mayweather is a mean *******, and would have hurt Hatton even more without Cortez's intervention.

    The fight clearly would have been a lot closer especially with a better ref, Floyd by SD

    And that's fine, just stop dragging up smaller men or weight draining bigger guys. Mayweather is a disgrace.

    His win over Hatton at 147 means NOTHING, just like the win over zombie drained Canelo.
