Mayweather vs. Hatton: Debating Our Friends Across the Pond
One of our readers from the U.K. (at least I'm assuming he's from the U.K.--he's a Hatton fan and uses the adjective "brilliant" a lot) has contacted me about the upcoming Mayweather vs. Hatton megafight, asking if I would be willing to debate Ian McNeilly, from BritishBoxing.net on the subject of who will win this war. I'm not a particularly big Mayweather fan, but this one seemed too easy, and like Floyd taking the bait from Hatton, I agreed. Steve has set up a new blog, Boxing on the Box, devoted exclusively to this fight. He's posted the first salvo in our three round verbal dust-up, and he's got a lot of other cool content up, especially if you're a Hatton fan. So go check out Steve's blog and vote for who you think won this round of the debate in his poll on the right sidebar.

I wish...
Castillo was at the end of his rope. I still give Hatton credit for a good win over a good opponent, but I think that fight would have been alot closer if they had fought before the Corrales war.
I always hope for an opponent to give Mayweather a run for his money, but so far nobody has. Not even DLH. Hatton gets beat with ease.

re:
I give Ricky a chance. A remote one, maybe, but a chance.

Unfortunately
Its not impossible. Nothing is in boxing. Nobody expected Douglas to do Tyson did they? Or our own Lloyd Honeyghan to upset Curry.
Mayweather is a FANTASTIC boxer and quite right the number 1, Im not knocking him, never have, but the guy is Human, he got a nose to break, Ribs to bruise, eyes to cut.
Yep Collazo was close, too close, But Ricky won and perhaps Castillo was at the end but nobody before the fight said that. Same with Kosta Tsyzu.
Ill be shouting with all i got for Hatton in a pub early hours with about 50 odd likeminded people.
Lets just see.

Mayweather
Not as a boxer but as a person.
The guy acts like a tit 2 bit rapper
