Assuming the judges get it right, can he? I want Hatton to win because i like the underdog and i don't like Floyd's arrogance and childishness. I do appreciate Mayweather as a boxer however. But i'm having a hard time imagining Hatton winning a decision. If that's true, then he'd have to knock Floyd out which is not very likely either - Floyd has shown an excellent chin. He's only been hurt a few times in his entire career.
I don't believe Hatton has stamina problems, and I think it's possible to beat PBF by decision. I think Hatton has a better chance of beating PBF by decision that he does by KO. I don't think he wins though.
With ODH promoting this shin dig. Anything can happen. I smell a robbery in the works as ODH having his hands in this too much and he is jerking off on the opportunity to fight Hatton to go out on top.
Well, DLH is Hatton's promoter, and two of the judes for this fight were judges for DLH's fight aginst Strum and scored the fight for DLH. So I don't think Hatton has to worry about Floyd getting a hometown decision.
But even if that's true, don't you think Taylor / Pavlik would have a little to no chance of UD in Germany??
It wouldn't hurt of course. But I could see him getting a close (115-113) decision or perhaps a SD, MD. If Tito could get a decision in Vegas over De La Hoya, I definitely think Hatton could too.
If they fought in Germany, they would be fighting a German fighter, there would be a German promoter who hired all of the judges. Although Hatton is fighting in America, the situation is unique as the promoter is on his side instead of Mayweather's. It would be in DLH's best interest if Hatton won. So if there were any funny business, it would be in Hatton's favor.
