We all know that at 147lbs Floyd shreds Hatton, and in all honesty he shreds him at 140lbs to, but it will be much sweeter down there. Hatton will be in his element, at his best weight and Floyd gets to claim that 4th Lineal Championship Hatton held Hostage while Floyd was at 140lbs. I want the fight at either weight cause I'll be happy, but for Floyd the 140lb Lineal Title will launch him as won of the most decorated fighters ever claiming real Ring/Lineal Championships in 4 divisions! Floyd could also move back up to 147lbs, and sort out some more business. By then some other big 147lb fights will have happen giving more clarity and Floyd can fight one of those guys!! I hope it's either SSM, or Cotto!
I'll second that, it would be very very impressive if he'd fight the champ at his best weight, like he did with Oscar, but I'll be very surprised, because Hatton needs Floyd more than Floyd needs Hatton, and will probably give away that advantage in search of the payday.
I agree. PBF's best weight is 140 and he would beat the **** outta of Hatton there. He has more speed and carries more power there as well.
I agree, but i also think that Floyd might be just as adjusted to 147lbs now too and I think he's picked up more power. I can see his power at 140lbs being even more noticable now. Hatton get's stopped at either weight!!
I hope it happens at 140, and I hope that all my support and optomism can help Hatton kick the **** outta PBF!
Hatton is so limited in what he can do in the ring as compared to PBF...this wouldnt matter at either weight....PPBF UD maybe TKO!
I doubt Floyd goes to 140. He just gave up the concessions against Oscar (not that I really think Floyd would have serious problems making 140), he'll probably not want to do it again, and this time want someone to come up to HIS division.
It would be for his third LINEAL TITLE:yep Not 4:nono IF HE CHOOSES 40, which he wont because Floyd doesnt want to face any fighter AT HIS BEST:good But I do agree, I hope its 40.
It's not he say, she say, they say, it's action that makes Lineal. Whitaker was the last Lineal 35 Champ, Ring decides he's their Champ at 35 and that makes LINEAL?? From 70 - Present Ken Buchanan (1970-1972) Roberto Duran [1972-1979, vacates title] Alexis Arguello (1981-1982) Julio Cesar Chavez (1987-1989, vacates title) Pernell Whitaker (vacates title 1992) But you are right that beating Hatton at 40 would be another Lineal title on his record:good To go a long with 30 and 47.
I definately want the fight to be made at 140lbs rather than 147lbs. Both fighters are natural light welters and it would simply be a much entertaining fight as both would be at there best. Mayweather wins at whatever weight though.
Floyd UD's or stops Hatton at any weight, plain and simple. Hatton's a good guy I think he's great for boxing but PBF's head and pockets only grow larger after he totally outclasses Hatton.
Whatever, PBF beats him any weight class. For his 4th title BTW...not 3rd, no matter what some people say.
