    Hatton would have gotten KO's quicker. Mayweather has more speed and more power at 140.

    Hatton would have left the ring in a stretcher because the Ref would have been afraid of stopping the fight.

    Because Hatton is not world-class and does not belong in the same ring as Mayweather?

    if anything, hatton comin in at 147 was better for him....the ****er ballooned up like crazy in b/w fights so it being at 147 rather than 140 means less weight he would have to cut. he would have been stopped earlier. its not like floyd is a big WW anyway so the size difference wouldnt really matter. it all comes down to the difference in skills and hatton has no shot at floyd, regardless of the weight.

    But Hatton was a lot stronger at that weight as well.

    They could be in his home town, Mattew "Magic" Hatton the referee, his parents as the judges and Floyd would still whoop him.

    Mayweather beats his ass no matter what. He's simply a better fighter. Cortez was too quick to break things up in the early going, but Hatton was not getting the better of it on the inside anyway. He was getting the worse of it at close quarters as well.
