    hatton's the 140 ring champ and has a better resume than williams and cotto, how can a win over him mean nothing?

    A lot of Floyd fans believe it means nothing because they don't think Hatton has a chance.

    So what, he beats the current king and he jumps over guys who did that for years?

    He'd be a lock top thirty of all-time for me, with the possibility to get into the top 20 if he beats either Cotto, Mosley or De La Hoya.

    I'd have to go along these lines.

    This would seem about right. A win for Hatton would be a similar accomplishment as Duran beating SRL, a little lower perhaps, since Duran was a lightweight and Hatton a jr welter but it wouldn't be far off.

    PBF clearly hurt DLH a couple of times in their fight.
    Is 147 PBFs best weight?
    Has PBF got a good chin?
    Is PBF as strong as Collazo at 147?
    What weight will Ricky fight at? 143?
    How does Ricky hurt Floyd?
    Just some of the questions I've been asking myself!! I still think Ricky can win tho..he has something in his arsenal which really scares PBF

    Hatton cannot possibly win this fight. I can see many ways of PBF beating him and believe me it will not be pretty.

    Full credit to the lad for reahing his optimum but now he is going in over his head. No need to answer the question because it will not happy. Where would PBF rank after he humiliates Hatton nin what has been an exemplary career in the ring.

    Well, if he is as over matched as you make him out to be it is a lose lose for PBF. In reality Hatton is a live under dog. He is very real and has the ability to win this fight.

    I think guys like you think Hatton has a real chance and no doubt some money will go on him but after the fight the bookies will be smiling again. Hatton is good but the other guy is much better period.

    Hatton beats Mayweather and I'll take a month off of these boards.
