    :lol: My crystal ball has nothing to do with my personal opinion, it only tells the future like it sees it. So please.... dont let my crystal ball prediction make it seem like its what i want to happen.


    MY OPINION - Everyone knows hatton is one of my favorite fighters, i love the guy and ive said since the zoo fight that i think he would be floyds toughest fight (this was before i knew paul williams) at any rate.... i like mayweather too, but i want hatton to put the hurt on him. I want hatton to fight the fight of his life, and eather get a stoppage win late, or a clear decision.... then fight cotto. I would love to see hatton to emerge from this era as the man...

    ok.... so here it goes.

    Crystal ball is taking awhile..... hard to see....

    ah...

    Wow, Crystal ball says that it will be an ugly fight... two styles will not mesh well, hatton is holding a lot. His attack doesnt seem to be effecting Floyd as much as people thought it would, floyds elbows blocking a lot of the shots. Floyds speed and boxing start to take over in the middle rounds, lot stronger then thought of.... suprising people by not letting hatton bully him. Ripping hatton with jabs and straight right hands down the middle. Becoming easy work for Mayweather. Wow.

    Mayweather wins 8 rounds to 4.... :-( :-(

    Looks like hatton was just a bit too small too get the job done. One big thing is his body attack wasnt as effective as i hoped it would be.

    :lol: that was great, I also think that mayweather is going to win and that its going to be one ugly fight, thats the thing about these super fights, it looks very good on paper but in terms of style match ups they are oftern not very entertaining

    I sincerely think Hatton will keep it close until about round 6 when PBF has completely figured him out. Those body shots that he will land more of than many think won't have the same effect on PBF that Castillo's had on PBF.

    Some think Hatton won't land anything at all, but I think that's a mistake. Hatton has decent footspeed and very underrated handspeed, and he will hit PBF. But he will get hit back twice for every one he lands, basically hoping his harder shots will slow PBF down. They won't, and after a while, those hard shots are gonna start missing entirely and Hatton will start getting countered alot. I see Hatton winning 3-4 rounds....I wouldn't be surprised though that because of Hatton's aggression, he causes a SD much like DLH did.

    Mayweather wins 9 or 10 clear cut rounds and Hatton slightly edges a couple very close rounds given on sheer aggressiveness. Predictably comfortable win for Mayweather.

    I know who is going to win. Infact, I am absolutely 100% sure who will win, how he'll win, even the round and exact time in which he'll in. If your curious to know, I will tell you after the fight ends and then you'll see I'm right.

    I'm going with Hatton TKO in mid/late rounds. Somehow I think his heart will prevail over Floyd's skills.

    Unfortunatelly I see it exactly like that 8 rounds to 4 for Mayweather, Hatton will be too small.

    Mayweather is worried about Hatton, that's why he refused to fight Hatton unless the fight is held in Vegas, with "his" judges and his referee. Judges have already filled out their cards and the referee is there to keep Hatton off him, just in case. Hatton needs his head examined for fighting Void Mayweather on his own turf with his judges and refee, do not need a crystal ball. Boxing needs to be cleaned up, and PPV is charging an arm and a leg for this fight!

    Hattons workrate will keep it from being a one sided pot shot fest, but Floyd should still win.

    All logic aside, GO HATTON!

    I think people are in for a surprise. Floyd will catch Hatton coming and then smother Hattons body attack. The ref will split them up, Floyd will score some points on the outside, and then when Hatton charges in Floyd will smother his attack again, not allowing Hatton to move side to side and create angles for his punches.

    Expect Floyd to hold alot more than we've seen in the past.
