I'm excited for Hatton-Mayweather, but..

:good:good:good

It's a hand picked fight, plain and simple. People look at Hatton's wrongful P4P ranking and feel it's a good fight and some actually think Hatton will win.

You sir, are a fine fight analyst.

 

I'm sorry...I had to stop reading after that right there...it was too incorrect.

Hatton has fought at 147 before, and the weight issue is nonexistent in this matchup.

 

No it doesn't.

Hatton can EASILY train as if it was 140. theres no rule that says Hatton had to add the weight or weigh 147 at the weigh in.

 

You and I are completely eye to eye on this situation, I'm glad at least one person feels that this is a cherry picked fight by a guy who has become a comfort zone **** as of recent.

And to EZE - Nobody would complain that Floyd was ducking someone as limited as Ricky Hatton had he fought Cotto, Cotto is an entirely different animal.

It sickens me to see Hatton ranked in the P4P 10.

 

Cotto just proved himself worthy against Shane. And IF Floyd had fought and beat Shane. Shane would have been considered and old fighter.

Remember Shane is 36!

 

What are you trying to say then? That fighting Hatton is not a good choice and Floyd should of picked someone else?

Thats all I am getting out of this.

 

Proved himself worthy? He was a worthy fight for Floyd as soon as he got to WW and if you think he wasn't, then why would Zab Judah have been a worthy fight after losing to Baldomir?

Hatton is nothing at WW, I suppose he proved himself in getting a narrow decision over Luis Collazo, a fight which could have been easily scored in Collazo's favour, who Mosely outclassed somehwere 10 rounds to 2!

Hatton's no WW, he'd get destroyed by the entire WW top 10.

 

Fighting Hatton was the choice for an easy victory over a name and wrongfully high ranked fighter, but history will reflect on this choice, because Floyd has yet to defeat a true top class WW, Hatton doesn't apply.

Hatton's even on the decline physically, this is ****ing ridiculous, Hatton is not even in the WW picture.

 

And Zab was an even better fighter for Cotto to beat. If you discredit Floyd you must discredit Cotto even more.

 

Not at all, because it matters when they fight the opponent, Cotto is not the P4P #1, if he was, he wouldn't have fought Zab.

Zab was another step up for Cotto, as was Mosely, he ****ed up Zab worse than Floyd did and he defeated Mosely close but clear for 2007, quite a good year for a recently established P4P fighter.

What's Hatton done after Tszyu? Hasn't been impressive, equally unimpressive at WW, so why is Hatton worthy? Because he's an easy win and money, that's why.

Floyd is a comfort zone **** these days, case in point, a fight against Cotto likely doesn't happen because of Floyd.

 

Floyd absolutley does not want a challenging fight, to where he'd have to dig deep at all, he wants easy victories at this point and he'll retire sometime soon.

 

Thats not even comparable.


Hatton fights better weighing 140.(which he can easily make with the Floyd fight)

Just like Floyd didn't add weight when he fought Oscar.
