    Nothing to do with me though mate, if other people rate him too high, also i said it might be his best performance, not his best win.

    A decent fighter with very good technical skills who hasn't faced many live opponents.

    The test for most technical fighters is to see how they fare against someone who can go 12 rounds with a good workrate and fight aggressively.

    Since Hatton matched the profile, I reckon it was a good win.

    I don't think fighting at 147 was a problem for Hatton to be honest, and especially not against Mayweather who used to fight well below light welter.

    Hatton had been fighting at 140 for years, nearly his whole career if I'm not mistaken, so it was hardly a big jump, and he'd already fought at the weight before.

    Now if you would have put him in with a big guy like Margarito, then there would be a significant size difference.

    I know Floyd had fought at light middle before the Hatton fight but let's be honest, neither DLH nor PBF are light middles.

    Nah mate, Oscar was a successful light-middle, and Hatton was not a very good welterweight.

    Akxstinguish; Your criteria is obviously different from mine. We'll just go round in circles.

    Saying 'so-and-so isn't really that big'; 24 hour weigh-ins???? De La Hoya was not really a 135lb fighter was he, he was a young guy boiling down. I'd say he and Floyd look like pretty genuine Welters. Hatton was a big bull of a light-welter, who like Aaron Pryor, would not have prospered at the higher weight, proven by his showing in the Collazo fight.

    The one that took my breath away was Gatti. Arturo may have been a sitting duck fighter but when he fought Floyd he had re-invented himself to an extent and was boxing more. Floyd just tapped that ass!
