    mayweather's simply a genius and he wins this fight.however i think hatton's style does give him difficulties.hatton will have trained like never before for this fight and there were signs his intensity and drive had returned against castillo.he is a lot smarter and intellegent fighter than some on here realise his trainer graham will have studied literally hundreds of hours of pbf's fights and they will have definite fight plan for hatton to follow,these guys shouldn't be underestimated.i think it is hatton's speed of foot and general intensity which can draw floyd into enough close quarter encounters to make him uncomfortable.hatton is a lot quicker than de la hoya,baldomir and castillo.the thing is mayweather is so gifted in all aspects of the art that he simply copes and usually with a little bit to spare.even on the inside he's good enough and his power is underrated he did hurt oscar and even though hatton's chin is sound you wouldn't rule out the possibility of him knocking hatton out.i would take pbf by ud or late stoppage.to answer the question if hatton were to win he would be top 3 pfp and definitely be considered a top 10 all time british great.

    If Floyd wins.-Hatton was overated so this win means nothing.(Floyd should pretend the fight is difficult an make Ricky look good, he'll get more credit that way). He made Hatton fight at welter where he's no good!

    If Hatton wins-Floyd was past it! This win means nothing!
    He made Floyd fight at light welter-he was weight weakened!
    He fouled an clinched his way to victory-home town judges an overly lennient refs blah blah ****ing blah!

    I guarrentee you neither guy will get any credit afterwards which is a shame. Fighters risk their health and reputation all the time but often don't seem too get the credit.

    :huh :D:lol::patsch If floyd was fighting and a nuclear bomb dropped he would lose for sure. IF Floyd fought Wlad and he stood there, he would get KOd in one punch. IF God delivered Floyd to Manny's hands, Manny would have won. If, Floyd stood in one place, Manny would have landed more punches. If, only if ...

    You can't make this up :deal

    The vast majority of people give Floyd full credit for this win as they rightly should. A handful of idiots will never give him credit for anything and a few of my UK compatriots like to troll about it for a laugh but almost everyone gives Floyd credit for the Hatton win.
