Floyd schooled Hatton, I gave Hatton one round. Floyd took two rounds by a 10-8 score and the final round would have been a 10-7 round.

To beat Pacquiao you have to do what Marquez did (Marquez got screwed in that first fight, he won that by at least two points) which is stay on the outside and catch Manny when he comes charging in. Hatton done the exact opposite and let Manny catch him coming in, foolish.
Yes, he schooled him, but he didn't "take him apart." He schooled him by his defensive/slipping/out-boxing him. But Mayweather never really forced Hatton to do anything. Hatton did his thing, exactly as he wanted to, but Mayweather just defended and countered in one of the most amazing displays of boxing I've ever seen.

That to me is the definition of taking someone apart. Allowing them to do their thing but without any success at all. Floyd allowed Hatton to get close, made him miss and landed his own shots constantly. When he felt like it he opened up on Hatton and landed power shot after power shot.

Then to top it off he was the first to ever KO Hatton, that is taking some apart in my eye's.

Impressive KO. I'll admit I don't watch boxing anymore, and haven't in years so that's the first time I'd ever seen either of those two fight. The guy who won seems like he's pretty dang fast and has impressive power for his size.

Marquez is great but so his Mayweather. Pound for pound I think Marquez is actually better but Mayweather is just too big and too strong. Marquez is easily dropped if he catches one on the chin and was dropped by an aging Barrerra. Imagine if Mayweather catches him cleanly.

I would never bet against Mayweather. He's hands down the greatest fighter of our time.
