what was said, sounds like sensationalism from the media, but if so a great bit of business by Hatton

Hatton doesn't do trash talk, it's just the media twisting it.

Mayweather on the other hand is full of sh1t, I reckon most boxing fans in the US would want Hatton to beat him.

One thing is clear - the ref (or his corner) should never have allowed Watson out for that 12th. One hell of an uppercut from Eubank though in the 11th )

people might like Hatton to beat Mayweather but it wont happen end of story. Hatton's two best wins have come against top class opposition but as was pointed out Tsyzu had barely fought in two years and Castillo hadn't boxed at a decent level in a year and a half - he was shocking in his last fight and looked worn out, which is nor surprise given the fights he has been involved in.

whatever the scorecards said, there is no way Hatton beat Collazo. He looked much too small and didn't have the strength to take on a bigger man. Hatton v Cotto would be a great fight and I'd give Hatton a good chance - he might even have the edge. I've seen talk about him fighting Margarito where I would make him favourite with Margarito's long torso very open to Hatton's body shots. Have also seen reports of Mosley fighting him. That fight ends in only one result in my book - KO for Mosley. Too quick, too strong, too powerful, all round too damn good.

against Mayweather, Hatton gets diced up for 12 rounds and comes out a bloody mess - an easy points victory for the Pretty Boy. Hatton isn't strong enough to bully hom around the ring, nor powerful enough to shake him with one punch and then tee him up. Mayweather to win womething like 117-111.

Hatton v Cotto and Mosley v Floyd are the best fights out there. The first one a war, the second one a blur of speed and sleight of hand. I'd give Mosley the edge over Floyd as think he is just too damn big. He may also have been a better lightweight than FLoyd

Hatton had said something along the lines of that there was more entertainment in the 4 rounds of his fight last Saturday than the Pretty Boy had provided in his whole career
