Yes, comfortably. It was hyped up entirely for profit, Brits were duped into believing Hatton had a shot in order to secure more pay per views, which it undoubtedly did, he always draws pretty big over here but I doubt any of his previous fights even came close in terms of revenue from ppv buys. Also the fact that anything can happen if the right punch lands at the right time meant hatton did always have sort of a chance, it just wasn't a very big one.

I just got knocked out, what a fluke

lol I still can't get over that

They gotta do Mayweather and DLH again. Too much money in it and it was too close last time out. I thought DLH won.

lol i loved the 'what a fluke' comment.

I dunno, its easy to get caught up in percieved momentum, DLH threw a hell of a lot of punches, way more than Mayweather, but he landed far fewer.

Personally before the decision I thought they'd set up the rematch right there with a draw:-\

You know he was joking around right?

hatton's trainer strikes me as a cunt. that and hatton's face bouncing off the ringpost/turnbuckle or whatever you call it was hilarious.

Mayweather landed the majority of his shot with 6 rounds. All that means is he had a hell of a punch ratio for 6 rounds. It's a 12 round fight though. You can out punch your opponent 100-1 in a round but unless he goes down, it's a 10-9 regardless.

Mayweather Snr said he thought Oscar won and that's good enough for me.

Last I recall Mayweathers Snr and Jr aren't on the best of terms

They were around fight time and Mayweather Snr isn't the one with the problem.

Either way Mayweather won that fight as far as Im concerned, it was damn close, which is a credit to DLH at his age against the best P4P but I'm not shifting on this. DLH's jab was rendered useless, Mayweather's defensive was stunning as always and everytime DLH attempted a flurry he was countered far more effectively by Floyd. Like I said already percieved momentum (ie the crowd behind a fighter as he looks to be on the assault throwing flurries left right and centre) can cloud things, it can influence decisions but on this occasion it didn't. I'd be saying Mayweather won if the split decision had gone the other way.

And for the record I like DLH, he's been robbed before (ie Trinidad fight) and also taken some 'dubious' decisions his way (ie Whitaker - who he outboxed, much like Mayweather did him)...This one was close but Mayweather took it both in the decision and in reality.

This is way you rematch after close fights.

Oscar is probably the only one who'll be able to draw Mayweather into another fight, Pavlik, Malignaggi, Cotto, Witter etc, none of them have the name or the record to even come close to matching him right now.

Both he and Mayweather are at the point where they're considered all time greats anyway, Mayweather easily in the top 10 P4P, can't see either of them fighting anyone else but eachother at this stage.

Nah there is no reason for either to fight Cotto and he is the best of the bunch out there for them.

Cotto came along a little too late for his own good really

Pretty much. Hatton offered him a fight right before beat Tsyzu and Cotto refused it.
