I think Hatton/Mayweather would be more interesting than Gatti/Mayweather. Hatton fights on the inside and is known more for his rough house tactics similar to Hopkins. He wont try and box floyd, he'll go right to the inside lean on him, throw elbows and turn it into a brawl. Mayweather's a great boxer but he still hasnt prooved that he can take a punch. This is why I thought Gatti had a chance. A few strong shots to the body would slow the pace of the fight and take away Floyd's ability to use the ring. I like Mayweather but he still has a lot to prove. Tszyu did look sluggish in the Hatton fight but I wouldnt read to far into it. Hattons willingness to slug and fight dirty will cause Mayweather problems. It would be an interesting fight. I saw Mayweather fight when they brought the fights back to san francisco a few years ago, I dont recall who he went against. But I remember not being greatly impressed by him, he won the fight but he never tried to finish & the guy I cant remember his name didnt seem to be hurt by Mayweather at all.
