Comments Thread For: Hatton: I Can't See Anyone Beating Floyd Mayweather

Then you are in denial neither has a chance but I say maybe Tim more than PAC. PAC is to wild and no defense. It will be a dominant performance. PAC fans sound hope this fight doesn't happen so they can hold on to that bs dream of what pacfraud could've done.

No solution to pac's wildness i guess

In denial? You bet I am! You are imagining fights, fight never took place, wake up! You've seen the fight in your dreams only. Floyd knows Pac can beat him otherwise, fight would have happened long time ago. Floyd will use all kind of excuses just to avoid fighting Pacman.

The same guy that was almost killed by Marquez? Floyd does ten times better anything Marquez can do.

so you think rahman is better than lewis with that single punch??? you don't know about boxing bro.. style makes fight.. marquez was losing that fight badly before that sucker single punch courtesy of his foot

But, but, but.... you said Khan had a chance

Pac's punch output drops off dramatically when he's countered effectively. Which he would be against Floyd.

no way.. floyd ain't marquez who wants to engage to have a decent counterhit aginst pac. with pac's southpaw style, speed and volume punching all of floyd would gonna do is to be defensive and running all night.. just watch him against the quick and a pressure fighter southpaw zab judah to know why floyd avoids pac

He probably had some nose candy that he bought off Calzaghe or drank a really good stout that day.

You sure you're not talking about Wazaa? Poor guy used to preach a sermon on Khan and how he coulda/woulda/shoulda beat Floyd.

I'm pretty sure BPP posted an article where Hatton said. I'll see if I can find it.

Ricky Hatton believes Amir Khan would prove a great challenge for Floyd Mayweather Jr, stating the Bolton fighter deserves his shot at welterweight's unbeaten king.

A bout between Khan and Mayweather Jr has long been touted, with the Brit recently becoming firm favourite to face the American in 2014. However, in response to reports that a fight between the pair was verging on confirmation, Khan's camp released a statement to deny that any negotiations had been finalised.

Hatton admitted that, while Khan would be labelled the underdog against Mayweather Jr, he would love to see the pair square up - much like Floyd Mayweather Sr.

"I'll be made up if Amir fights Mayweather Jr," Hatton told wharf.co.uk. "Mayweather is running out of opponents, he's been that good and if anyone deserves a shot it's Amir Khan. There are very few fighters who can match him in speed.

"Normally people fly at Floyd but if Amir can jab, move and keep out the way and, if Floyd has to be the attacker, it could be different.
"I don't think he'll beat him and I don't think Amir will mind me saying that. I think most would class him as an underdog but it will certainly be interesting if Amir swallows his pride for one fight and doesn't go to war. If he keeps his head and boxes you never know."

Hatton suffered a defeat to Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas in 2007, before being knocked out by former pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao in May 2009 - a rival to the undefeated American.
While a blockbuster bout between Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr has been a mouth-watering thought to many boxing fans, it has not come to fruition due to numerous breakdowns in negotiations between the two camps.

Pacquiao returns to the ring on November 23 to fight Brandon Rios in Macau, following successive defeats to Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez - losses which Hatton believe have virtually closed the door on a potential fight with Mayweather Jr.

"I don't think that fight will happen now, unless Pacqiao comes back with a real storming performance," Hatton said. "He struggled against [Timothy] Bradley and got beat by [Juan Manuel] Marquez as well. That fight lost him his shine a bit.

"With every fight Floyd faces my performance is looking better and better. For the first five or six rounds I had him under the cosh. I've seen Floyd mention a few times that I was the only one from start to finish who tried to beat him.

"A lot of people think 'I'm not going to beat him' and coast a little but I didn't.''

O, I remember him saying it and him being truly genuine about it.

Ricky giving him a shot while also saying he could potentially be one the greatest British fighters of all time.
