Corley's shot was no better or worse than Judah's double jab striaght left that backed Floyd up, notice what happened immediately after each...Nothing, Floyd snuffed the follow up with his defense.

Yes, Hatton has a chance, but those clinches that Castillo got into won't be there with Floyd. He doesn't try to clinch much, it's mostly pucnhing while going backwards from corner to corner, and moving when you touch the ropes.

I notice you didn't mention how Floyd buckled Oscar's knees in the 5th with his back against the ropes though...

Floyd got stung with a straight left or two.

Sure, Floyd can hurt fighters - he hits correclty and solidly enough.

I'm so not getting sucked into this reactinary Mayweather can't be beat shite. I was practically ridiculed for having the bare faced audacity for saying that Pavlik could beat Miranda.

All the top p4p guys can get beaten, Mosley, Forrest, Jones Jr, Hopkins, Tszyu etc etc

Not to change subject, but I had Pavlik in that one as well, so I don't think your opinion is crazy. However, to say what Magri said that Hatton is going to take him out is just as crazy as saying easy work for Floyd at this point. It's going to be very difficult for both guys, and just because the fight starts in one direction doesn't mean it can't go in another around round 6.
