    Hatton is an aggressive, come-forward fighter. Mayweather is best when he's on the back foot & countering. That's how Hatton is MADE for Mayweather, man.

    Easier said than done. I'm sure Gatti's gameplan wasn't to stand there & look pretty while getting peppered with shots, in fact I'm pretty sure he originally intended on cutting off the ring & smothering him too, but it's hard to pull off against PBF.

    I see it happening. Hatton made those comments about PBF for a reason, he wants to get him in the ring & will do so at any cost. Hatton is old school, he's not caught up in the whos-getting-thebigger-purse pissing matches.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Hatton is a good little fighter, definately top dog at 140, but I don't see him touching any of the top welters, including Floyd (I think Cotto stands the best chance of beating PBF)

    I dont think this ones an easy fight for PBF...hatton is good at keeping his opponents close and he can certainly take shots while coming in...not sure about how PBF can take a body punch...hatton should accept whatever he is offered just to prove himself or he might as well stay where he is appreciated..

    "all this punk has to do is sign a contract ASAP and that's his ***."

    Aye, very good Mayweather, problem is no undisputed champ will sign a contract in favour of probably 80/20 to you! By sayng this he sounds like the big man, and yet more people will say Hattons ducking Floyd because he says this one thing! Mayweather has absolute no class! He is as stupid as they come

    Floyd is P4P #1... whats being undisputed champ?

    Hatton should accepte 35% and above... 35% would be low, but still a good payday for him. If he does not accept 40% then he is clearly ducking.

    Mayweather will price himself out of the fight, bank on it. Hatton's not going to take chump change like Baldomir, and Floyd thinks he's worth a lot more than he is as a box office draw

    Whose P4P number 1,Ring Magazines?...that title is meaningless its subjective and immeasurable.What counts is how much money you bring in terms of interest and sales.Whats the point of being American writers best fighter if no one wants to pay to watch you

    My opinion on it is that Floyd isn't necisarily better at 140 than at 147 and 154, because he can adapt so well to the weight and just uses different tactics. But he would probably fight a more active fight at 140, making it more interesting to watch AND giving Hatton the chance to fight at his best. The last being the most particular reason I'd like to see it at 140. Hatton is the smaller man, he's 5'6.

    The best and fairest way to work out who gets paid what would be to ask every guy who pays to watch who they want to get their $ then we would see the real moneymakers

    He wanted $30million right after he fought Gatti, so god knows what he will want as he obviously thinks he is a massive draw, post-De La Hoya.

    We should guess what he's going to want. I'll stick my neck out on $261million.

    He, by asking for so much money, is ducking Hatton.

    Lol that's the pretty boy for you :happy , i knew a quick reply would be out by today!!, and he hasn't been a coward about it like Ricky and talked about "excitment" either :lol: , it was clearly seen in the Collazo fight that Ricky can be outboxed and hurt, people talk about "how would Floyd cope with getting body punched and roughed up" but the real question is how on earth is Ricky gonna cope with Floyds skills?!!, with being counter punched and moved around the ring all night?, and when Floyd is relaxed he starts to really open up just like he did in the later rounds against Oscar and i don't think Ricky would have any answers to that. Ricky could try and rough up Floyd but we all saw what happened when Oscar was trying to rough him up on the ropes in the fifth round, Floyd stunned him with one punch and Oscar backed off and i don't see it being any different against a smaller man in Hatton.

    The fight is overdue. If Mayweather doesn't fight Hatton or Mosley this fall/winter, I'll be p.o.'d.

    I just hope they can come to terms.

    why in the hell would Floyd go all the way back to 140 to fight Hatton ?? if hatton wants the fight he will need to come to 147 or 154..
