Hey, dummy - Hatton with his rough house style had an advantage over Tszyu's style, a significant one, I picked Tszyu but I knew it was going to be a really tough close fight due to that, anyone who saw the Phillips fight knew this, or even a shot Chavez presenting a few issue's. Tszyu is HORRIBLE against any type of pressure period, due to his style. Lacy, that was an easy pick, and I picked it spot on and said Lacy stylistically will not win a round, just like Hatton won't vs. Floyd. Now I laid out why Hatton CANNOT swarm and rough up Mayweather with simple, spot on points and it goes to styles and intangibles and you don't get it at all, because you know a limited amount about boxing. You think that the surprises of Tszyu and Lacy losing have to do with Hatton-Floyd, when both of those guys as favourites were at every disadvantage in terms of styles, just like Hatton is. So sure, I doubt I'll see you around to eat your crow December 9th, but even so, I won't even dish it out that hard, because it's an after thought in stupidity thinking why anyone really thinks Hatton beats Floyd.:yep I feel sorry for you honestly, jeez.
No problem:goodI think we have all been guilty of being dicks at one time or another. Still, I'll be pulling for Ricky on the 8th
I disagree :good . I see a 8-4 Mayweather victory in a hard fight. But it is good to stick with your picks. I picked Mosley to KO Cotto but here i was wrong, .
toffeejack i think this fight is nailed on to go the full 12 read a funny story today that 2 years ago billy graham was sparring with hatton wearing that padded bodybelt, and apparently hatton broke 2 of billy grahams ribs through all that padding lol.
And that's no big deal because it was a hard fought fight that had many variables, I had Cotto over Mosely by either close decision or late stoppage, early on it was looking like I was going to get my late stoppage but Mosely changed up game plans and played the 'slugger' role against the swarmer and really turned it up and Cotto barely got it. That was a great fight and fans of both guys should be proud. Now onto this joke of a fight, people picking Hatton are way off base, because he lacks the skill and ability to even take a ****ing round off of Floyd, and had terrible skin and will get cut up by accurate blows, to which he's open to at all times and he will get stopped.
you are a ****, anyone who dissmissess a 43-0, 2 weight world champ and ring belt holder is a ****. a smug, ignorant ****.
Ill dismiss him at 147 pounds, to where he's not a top fighter. I haven't dismissed him at 140 pound significant fighter. Floyd is fighting him for the 147 pound title. Hatton is out of his realm at 147, to where at 140 his limitations are overcome by a number of things that make up for it. You're the ****, and you don't even realise these highly evident facts.
I gave Shane a bit too much credit, in terms of his handspeed advantage. I think that Ricky's footspeed is among the best in the buisness, he can stick on you like a cheap suit. The extra weight i think affected him in the Colazzo fight in terms of his footspeed. He will imo take the 1st couple of rounds off of Floyd because Floyd starts slow normally. I see Floyd taking most of the middle/late rounds when he figures Ricky out. Two top 10 p4p fighters fighting nearly ever ends in a blowout. So I think that you are severly underrating Hatton.
Yah yah yah.....YOU underrate Hatton. Plain and simple. You basically seem to be under the impression that PBF should only fight guys he thinks can beat him or YOU think can beat him. That would limit his options severly. Beating Hatton is a good win. And no, faded Barrera and faded Morales are not better fighters than Prime Hatton. You say he had trouble with B Level WW Collazo....well Barrera had the same trouble with B level Juarez and Morales was dominated by B level Raheem.
I dont think that this fight will be much differnt at 147 than it would be at 140. Floyd doesn't have any extra muscle on him at 147 compaired to 140 just means that he doesn't have to dehydrate atal like he would have at 140.
see you dec 9th. if i'm wrong i will hold my hands up - no excuses if your wrong you hold your hands - no excuses.
