Mayweather-Hatton Nov 10th ??

[Imperial1]

The best catch weight for this fight to happen at is 145

[Loggo]

If the fight between Mayweather v Hatton happens it would be at welterweight but would it be for the ibo belt?Its a minor detail but I just wonder what belt they`ll fight for.

A Catch weight of 144 I think would be far to both fighters and a 60-40 spilt going to Mayweather seems far.

This fight would be HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I agree with everything here. Spot on. If Mayweather has home advantage, Hatton is entitled to call the fight at 140 or at least 144. 60/40 Mayweather sounds about right to me.

I'd also ensure there was a rematch clause with the rematch(if thought attractive enough) in Britain

Very embarrassing indeed. Hatton will sell 10,000 tickets min just from UK fans. That's before his US fans buy any.

Mayweather probably sells a couple of hundred max!!

Hook and Hold vs a defensive master.How anyone can get excited about this "fight" is beyond me.The only positive is that this will be the end of Hatton boring the fuck out of us in America.Take this act back to the UK,PLEASE!

Its Always Good To See Two Undeafeted Fighters In Front Of Each Other....

Someones 0 Has Got To Go....

i really want this fight to come off, but unlike some other american's here i would love to see it happen in england in front of thousands upon thousands of shouting, singing, cheering brits so when floyd outclasses him, there will be an entire stadium in silence and awe. And i don't even like floyd but no way hatton beats him.

[knockout]

I hope this will pull through cuz i wanna see floyd whoop on him.

Think about it this way my NYC brother.....

Once Cotto takes out Margo/Williams he will fight the winner of that Nov 10th bout between Hatton/PBF (most likely PBF wins this) and its on Cotto vs PBF

Or Hatton vs Cotto there's always a chance that Hatton huggs Floyd enough times and Floyd gives in to Hattons sexual advances.

Just joking my English brothers.

Arran you've always been a blind patriotic prick but I must commend you for at least being consistant. Think about how boring this site would be if everyone used logic and commen sense when chosing a winner of a bout such as Hatton vs PBF. More power to your my extremely ethnocentric friend.

I think that one of the biggest decisions around this fight is what ref is assigned!

If you assign someone like Steve Smoger who breaks the fighters quickly and doesn't allow the fightes to punch their way our, then Hatton's job is going to be that much more difficult.

However, if you get a ref like Joe Cortez who lets the fighters go a little more then Hatton is at a real advantage.

Mayweather should win the fight and probably on points. Hatton's only chance is to make this fight frustrating as hell, hard to score, and physical. I think this is a bad match up for Hatton at any weight above 140.

I completely disagree with you man... I mean a total 180 bro, Steve Smoger is one of the best Ref's in the game he'll allow just enough holding and clinching to keep the bout running as smooth and fan freindly as possible. Steve knows boxing and he knows Hatton's strategy and he will let Hatton do a bit of hugging and clinching but he will not let it linger to long. Its an excellent blend of controlling the fight without being the third fighter in the ring. Cortez in my opinion takes way to much initiative in a bout.

Well we can agree to disagree...I have just seen too often when Smoger makes himself too big a part of the fight.

I think that you can agree though that the choice of ref is gonna make a big difference with these guys based on their styles?
