Now that Mayweather has ''called out'' Hatton and came out of his 'retirement' then called Hatton the most overrated fighter in 25 years, what is ur opinion of what will happen should they fight? Classic matchup of boxer - brawler.

Hatton MUST NOT fight Mayweather at 147 or I will lose respect for him. It will be obvious that he is just after a paycheck. He is only average at that weight and will lose a very lopsided UD, or even run out of gas and get TKO'd in the late rounds. Hatton is a fighter that 7lbs. makes a HUGE difference. I think at 140, Hatton has a better than 50/50 shot to beat Floyd. Floyd would be at full power at 140, and would have no excuse to run, giving Hatton the edge in a fight that would be fought in closer quarters than Floyd is used to. If Floyd runs at that weight, his career is FINISHED for good. People wouldn't even watch him for free on ESPN. I really believe that Hatton would have a better chance at 140, than Cotto would at 147, because he moves a lot better and has much faster hands. If you think Floyd ran against Oscar, he would be on a jet ski against Cotto. Hopefully, Floyd will take one fight in his career that isn't totally stacked in his favor, and fight Hatton at 140.

I know that alot of people here seem to hate Mayweather but there is no way one can deny his boxing skills. Overall he is a much better fighter than Hatton and he will win. End of story.

Few if anyone believed Floyd was really retiring. $$ is the underlying factor in any major boxing match, and Floyd sees an easy victory for a substantial payday. The talk is meaningless, Floyd's trash prior to the DeLa Hoya fight showed that. Hype is just noise. If they fight it will be of interest to some, and just another big $$ event to the powers that be. At 140 Hatton is a serious underdog. At 147 Ricky is in over his head.
The size of the check will determine what weight and location the fight will take place at if it happens at all.

The boxer (Mayweather) will win this fight. I'm sorry I had to say that becuase I hate PBF and I would love to see him lose, but it would not be against hatton. Cotto would have a better chance.

Fu ck everyone stop asking this question mayweather would fucki n destroy hatton. Mayweather is two classes above hatton. Faster , smarter. hatton would come forward and throw wild shots and he would get tagged by mayweather. Hatton beats fighters past their prime. Mayweather beat people in their prime. Hatton does not belongs in the same breath as mayweather.

Listen.....I learned long ago this lesson. Liston vs. Ali (slugger vs. boxer) results? Again,( Foreman vs. Ali ) results ? Now, (Mayweather vs. Hatton) results ? Guess.

this will be a classic match indeed. this fight will be a good one for mayweather because this will avenge his name after his past few fights. ricky hatton will get destroyed he doesnt even deserve a match with mayweather. but if he wants to talk sh it he better be able to back it up.
