almost every single one of pbf's opponents game plan was to pressure....

^^ Word.

Look guys, let's stop all the BS comments such as "Ricky is gonna die in the ring" and "This is an easy fight for Floyd" kind of bollocks. Wait another 12 hours and you'll have the real answer. You guys making ridiculous predictions are wasting your time and energy.

 

That is true but he is not anywhere near the skill of Oscar. One thing is to apply pressure but if he gets tagged all night long then it wont do him any good.

PBF will win a close fight and stay number one in the game.

 

And they have all failed. Because what makes Floyd so talented is his ability to adapt in the fight. So Mr. Pressure, has a hell of night in front of him if he does not end this fight early.

 

Oscar won no more than 4 rounds...but its GBP so he got a SD

 

Emanuel is able to come forward and counter punch as well as lead if needed ,, yes emanuel is a very good pressure fighter..

walking forward also doesn't equal pressure ether .. There are many was to apply pressure and not all require moving forward and punching .. There also moving forward and making your opponent punch when doesn't want to or countering while moving forward.

 

Joe Hutching is a filler opps Im mean fighter on Hatton's resume.

don't get me wrong Im not say hatton can't win but it need to be under stood that the same game plan Hatton used on Hutching will not work on Floyd .

if it does I would be very surprised.

 

Because he a great, natural pressure fighter. He will try and fight his own fight, guys like DLH were not being their natural selves by pressure fighting Floyd.

 

You dickhead.

 

its not like Hatton is going to throw 100 punches per round anyway

 

Actually, that is pretty likely.

 

****, just got your answer. Taken from the mouth of the Golden Boy, he will apply pressure, in an intelligent way

 

Because if he was able to break Castillo's ribs, he can break Mayweather's ribs.

 

Hatton can be more successful than the other fighters who tried pressuring Floyd for two reasons...

1) His footspeed allows him to close the distance quickly and stay right on top of you

2) He is more dynamic on the inside than some of the more basic pressure fighters that Floyd has fought.

 

Hatton developed a fighting system that has been proved successful for 43 contests and since 1997. All his technical and physical disadvantages to this opponent can not be invoked in light of his previous performances against the likes of Vince Phillips, Ben Tackie, Michael Steward, Ray Oliveira, Kostya Tszyu, Carlos Maussa, JLC and even Luis Collazo and Juan Urango. Of course, Mayweather presents specific problems for Hatton's effectiveness but it is a better known information that Ricky's energetic attack movement, leverage and strength for the in-fighting can present huge problems to Floyd. Anyone who got to watch Mayweather-Chavez, Mayweather-Castillo, Mayweather-Hoya, Hatton-Phillips, Hatton-Tackie, Hatton-Tszyu cannot dismiss it solely based on Floyd's success thus far - it would be clearly unprofessional underestimation of the adversary and I don't believe in it.
