    I picked Floyd by UD, I thought it would be a tuff fight. But wasn't the case

    i picked hatton i though he would carry the weight and power up and cause PBF lots of problems on the inside.

    I think PBF should be fighting lighter and is just to lazy to cut down to make weight

    I picked Mayweather by wide UD. This fight was a no-brainer. Hatton can't compete at 147, and Mayweather is possibly the best there is.

    I admit I got carried away with all the hype, the realistic choice was Mayweather by UD but the hype got to me and I picked Hatton by TKO around 8 or 9.

    I was pulling for Hatton but I was sure Floyd would win a Calzaghe-Lacy style beatdown. I was convinced Hatton's chin and stamina would get worse at 147 due to what happened with him and Collazo.

    Basically I went on a SSSS (super small sample size) and it turned out true.

    Yeah I pretty much knew this fight would be cake but was not expecting a KO and such head first sloppiness on Hatton's part.

    Picked Floyd of course but I remember A LOT picked Hatton, even the polls weren't one-sided.

    I honestly believed in 2005 and 2006 that Hatton would be victorious and I made that view very clear on here.

    However, I began to wake up and whilst I was still rooting for Hatton I put money on Mayweather by decision and a small amount on an 8th round stoppage...

    ******* did neither of those two things but oh well.

    A lot of people picked Hatton.

    I picked Floyd, but thought the fight was gonna be boring and competitive.

    I picked PBF by either wide UD or late stoppage.

    I did but it was a bit of the heart ruling head and getting carried away with all the pre-fight hype.

    I still believe he had a rough deal from the ref though and he let the occasion get to him. He was way too overhyped for it.

    I desperately wanted Hatton to win but I really couldn't see how he could, so had to go for Floyd every time. I thought it would go to points though unless Hatton was stopped on cuts. I didnt see Hatton geting TKOed / KOed like he did.
