Although I dont feel you give Hatton enough credit for his boxing brain in the ring and how he 'works out' opponents whilst in there, I do think your summary of how the fight could potentially go is close to how I see it going, the other way is PBF somehow manages to keep Hatton on the outside and scores a UD.
Mayweather can fight. Go watch his matches with Jesus Chavez, Emmanuel Agustus... He fought Castillo twice. Hatton brings nothing to the table that Floyd has not seen. If Collazo can lift Hattons head up in the air with shots I am sure Floyd can again send Hatton back down after his 2nd unsucessful try at welterweight
Ok...you have some good points but saying Maywhether just moves back when rushed is obsurd. We all know he has some of the best footwork if not the best in todays ring. Another thing is like you said PBF like opponents comming in and thats what Hatton does come forward....Hatton has not seen the hand speed nor accuracy of a PBF and bullying in only means PBF throws that lunging right which will move Hatton around a little giving Floyd time to either throw one or two more punches....Look at what he did to ODH....he through so many lunging rights which kept ODH off balance. You said your self PBF like fighters coming forward...Hatton is a good fighter but his toughest opposition were Zu..past his prime, Collazo which he got whipped really, and Castillo another aging fighter considereed past his prime. Floyd has fought fighters just as fast as him and won, fought tough fighters who come forward and won(take the two Castillo fights in his prime), Floyd STUDIES his fighters and a fighter like Hatton is just too basic and simple to plan for and break down...this will not be exciting more like PBF vs ODH a lot of hype fans are happy to see it...BUT....Floyd will out box Hatoon way to easy because he is simply superior in too many areas, actually the only edge i see for Hatton is punch power which does give him a "PUNCHERS CHANCE" and then the fight will be at 147.....Hatton can't perform at that weight....he tried and looked horrible against Collazo he should have stayed at that weight to grow into it now he has hurt himself by going down for a while now he will have to go up.....this will prove disaturous for Hatton!
Great first thread but you must not fall into the trap of forgetting that pbf to alot of people on this site is the greatest fighter to have ever lived and is indestructable. Plus Hatton the Fatton is deemed another european joke who is lucky to be even be mentioned in the same breath as him. I liked your hypothasis but pbf is great at figuring out fighters and is very strong and hatton has been in some terrific fights.
Agreed. Mayweather may not be the most exciting guy around, but he definitely can fight. It's not like he doesn't throw punches. People just get frustrated because he is so evasive. But hell, that's what a really good boxer does. He hits, and doesn't get hit in the process. I don't see him having a lot of trouble with Hatton. Granted, Hatton's strategy will be to maul and smother him. But, Floyd's fast and slick enough that he should be able to easily outpunch Ricky. I hope I end up being wrong and the fight is close and competitive, but I don't see it happening.
Excellent first post and excellent analysis...I think Floyd would win, but Ricky does have a style that could beat Mayweather - I honestly believe that.
WTF! You couldn't have bneen more wrong. PBF beat figured Hatton out, beat him at his own game, broke him down, set traps and made him dance with the ring post. He put on an underrated clinic in that fight
