    It's a DOABLE Fight...

    If it's N England,then Floyd Gets ALL the Concessions (Gloves,Weight,Purse,EVERYTHING)...

    If it's N Vegas,60-40 or 55-45 Split...Catchweight...Own Gloves...Hatton Gets the Overseas PPV %...

    this is pretty hilarious coming from PBF, considering he's pulled the same shit when it comes to margarito and now mosley.

    When Margarito - Cotto was all but signed,...

    Illuminati: He's ducking Paul Williams!

    When due to contractual disputes with his promoter (Every fighter has them) he "goes and fights Paul Williams", the result of a devious twist in Bob Arum's "Beggers can't be choosers" attempts of blackmail, so he accepts the fight with Paul Williams for virtually the same amount of money, simultaneously sloshing Bob Arum, and Fraud fans up the arse with a 24 foot electric eel.

    Illuminati: He turned down Cotto!

    :rolleyes: figures.

    Saying that Floyd ducked Margarito is like saying Sugar Ray Leonard ducked Michael Watson.

    Floyd clearly ducked Margarito at all costs.

    If it happens I hope Floyd goes back to 140 to do it. Cause if Hatton goes to 147 and Floyd whips him he'll get less credit cause Hatton looked horrible at 147 the only other time he came up, Floyd gets major props if he goes back to Hattons weight and beats him. I don't think Floyd would have a problem making 140 either. But I do think that the harder fight for Floyd would be with Mosley or Cotto but at this point I'll take what I can get.

    I agree with sly that Hatton is the toughest fight for Floyd out ot Cotto, Hatton and Mosley. Hatton is actually a pretty tough fight for Floyd. Floyd could easily lose to an in shape mentally prepared Hatton, in much the same way Ray Robinson got Gene Fullmored!

    Why would he fight Margarito? Meaningless fight for him at the time. Like Michael Watson would have been for Sugar Ray Leonard

    Good analogy.

    Actually I could see Floyd falling for the taunts and fighting Hatton's fight the same way Sugar Ray Leonard got Roberto Duraned!!

    Nope wouldn't happen in a million years. As stupid and dumb as he appears to be outside the ring. When he's inside the ring he's possibly one of the smartest boxers today. He will do what he will have to do to win. And people should not sleep on PBF's inside fighting.

    As far as the weight. I think that the fight should take place at either weight. Ricky draining himself down to 140 is gonna catch up to him sooner rather than later. So he might want to take the fight at 147 or catch weight. As far as the money goes ya'll know that PBF is gonna want the lions share. Still the fight will happen. I'll Holla 5000

    Fraud's 'inside fighting' did him wonders against Castillo, especially after that 7th round where his eye-balls almost popped out of his head :lol: ,.. he had to give it up real quick, and resort back to doing what he does best. Fraud's 'inside fighting' sux, he might've had the balls to do it at 130 against featherweights, but you'll never catch him in the act against opponents "relatively similar" in size, he'll be sticking to potting and running thank you Bigdawg.

    Floyd is technically so accomplished compared to Hatton that it seems almost absurd to compare the two so bare with me as I explain my rationale.

    Your rational for thinking Shane has a good chance of beating Floyd makes the most sense because Shane is more technically accomplished than Cotto and Hatton. Shane has the speed and the power to threaten Floyd and the work rate to execute (unlike De La Hoya). Yet I think Floyd wins because he gets there first... straighter punches, better counters, the ability to avoid Shane on the inside. Shane just isn't technically accomplished enough in one category to beat Floyd IMO. And Shane does not IMO have the footwork to cut the ring off and stop Floyd's ring generalmanship.

    Now Cotto has the single skill (body punching) to threaten Floyd, unlike the all round Mosley. At one point I actually thought this would be a good fight... but Cotto needs to be able to get to Floyd often, while leaving himself exposed in the process and Cotto needs to be strong enough to walk through Floyd's punch. Cotto would get hit a lot and even if he hurt Floyd he would have to be able to break him down and survive getting countered often. I think Floyd would maybe even get dropped once but would adjust to Cotto.

    Here is a scenerio where I think Hatton could win: assuming they fought at 140.... Hatton could walk through Floyd's punches and smother Floyd like he did Zoo. He would get Floyd out of his game and fuck with him by using the holding and humping in moderation. Hatton has a good jab when he uses it, so he could also drive Floyd back. Hatton is strong enough to hurt Floyd on the inside. By staying on top of Floyd in an ugly fight and punching at the many angles he does Hatton could exhaust Floyd and hurt him to the body. Floyd would not counter because Hatton would be right on top of him.

    This scenerio isn't likely but IMO of the three (Cotto, Shane and Hatton) it is the most probable way Floyd gets beat. Having said that I don't think Hatton beats Shane or Cotto. Cotto wins for sure because Hatton cannot take it to the body and Shane is too strong for Hatton to walk through. I am not even so sure that this scenerio would play out... but of these three I definitely think Hatton has the best chance... And while I hate when Hatton resorts to just holding and humping, when he uses his other skills and has some stamina I think he is very strong and a relatively well accomplished brawler, swarmer (not a puncher).

    It's so simple why hatton stands the best chance - bullrushing and pressuring.

    Floyd has a field day with patient fighters. Cotto comes forward non stop, there's no doubt about it, but he does it patiently and picks his shots.

    Corrales too, you never saw him take a backwards step, but he was very patient, and picked his punches. He didn't just RUSH at floyd. And you saw what happened in that fight.

    Hatton stands the best chance because he simply won't give the chance to leisurely pot shot at his pace, as he'd like to. He'll just steam into floyd, grapple him, tie him up, land hard bodyshots, smther him, pressure him, and force him to fight, not just let him pot shot as he pleases.

    and thats what i'm saying....take the easiest one first...or the harderst i dont care..just fight them all.

    I hope all this bullshit with wanting to fight Hatton isn't jsut that BULLSHIT...next month after Margarito beats Williams..Cotto is set to face him...so Cotto is out for the rest of the year....Mosley seen that Mayweather is pushing for a fight against Hatton, will also start looking for an Opponent to fight before the end of the year.....Mayweatehr will be talking and bitch about wanting Hatton..but at the end he ends up fighting NOBODY...

    you know floyd will either fight a name of no one at all, so all complaints are basically meaningless, either he stays retired or will fight a star, its not like hes gonna fight a bum, so there is no room for complaint, unless u just want to complain for the hell of it, im sure u can find something to cry about

    well.. I do think that Hatton being a High energy Swarmer.. COULD cause some problems...

    but I think Floyd is just on another level..

    I think people under-rate Floyd's punching..

    he BUSTED Gatti UP.. I think he'd bust up Hatton..

    Hatton would be wide open for him.. just as Cotto would IMO.. Shane I think would get hit but not as much and would return fire at high speed and with good power.. I think Cotto and Hatton would just get slaughtered

    I agree, LOK.
    Good analysis as Floyd is just not going to be beaten anytime in the near future.
    I'd like to see him move up and put a boxing lesson on Jermain Taylor, no doubt in my mind that he could.

    If I was Hatton I would go on HBO and have a contract ready to go. Have it @ 50/50 in England and at 140. Talk shit about Floyd not having enough fans to do the fight in the U.S. and its embarassing for HBO to have fans walk out in the middle of the fight. Call him out like the bitch he is in front of everyone, hell even talk shit that the money could help him with the child support.:lol:

    Castillo (arguably Judah) came the closest to defeating Mayweather.. and it was with sheer agression and pressure.
