Devise a strategy for Ricky Hatton to beat Floyd Mayweather

Alternately copy the first Castillo/Floyd fight and hope the judges havent been bribed.

 

Bring a knife, or a gun.

 

The consensus seems to be on concentrated pressure, which ricky does naturally, Billy Graham is a good trainer, therefore i expect ricky to be in tip top condition for the fight (when isnt he?). This will allow him to excert the type of pressure floyd isnt used too, and hopefully it will get the job done, although its easier said than done!

 

Speed, accuracy, pressure, combinations.

I've always said that pure pressure is not enough. Mayweather can be defeated by someone who outspeeds him. At 130 and 135 that was impossible, but not at 147.

 

There's notthing he can do, Ricky is not a good boxer he's just a pressure fighter.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

If Hatton tries to exchange with him in the middle of the ring. It's lights out for Hatton.

You people need to stop with the running ****.

Hatton cannot fight with PBF in the center of the ring. If they are in the center of the ring, he has to close the gap, clinch, and wrestle PBF in to the ropes or corner each time.

Pretty much, the only way Hatton can possibly win is by fighting as dirty and cheating as much as possible.

He can beat PBF in a grappling match, but not a boxing match.

Who does beat floyd in a boxing match?!:huh

 

Whats crazy about this fight is that I think Floyd is the bigger and stronger man. He has just as good, if not better chin, and he probably hits just as hard at 147 also. Hatton is going to be embarassed.

I hope I'm wrong though.

 

Collazo had Hatton in alot of trouble, and I think Shane showed us that Collazo is a class below the elite

 

In the Shane fight?

All 38 fights that he's won.

 

There`s nothing mayweather can do, he is just a good boxer , not a good pressure fighter.

 

I agree slightly there, i dont think floyd is weak or anyhting, its just not his style to throw his weight around if you know what i mean, but i hope ricky does the bloke!


You pick your entrance song yet mate?

 

i agree with the kurgan.
no way ricky can stand on the outside.

ricky has fast enough hands to get home with a few jabs , but he will be best served going to the body and chest for round after round at a very high tempo.

flyod IMO has a great defense against the right cross, but if anything he will be able to get hit with left hooks unless flyod plants his feet and lets rip to keep ricky honest.

hatton has very underated feet movement, very good ant getting in and out of range.

but at nid range as kosta proved he is vunerable and can be kept on the end of punches.

floyd if he moves to his left will negate a lot of hatton`s best work and floyd being a good pro will work on this and so must hatton.

size wise i think they will look the same come fightnight,

hatton must not bulk up and slow himself down.
i agree train fro 140 and just keep the 5lbs extra to stop dehydratinbg himself the day before the fight.

hatton has to punch with and through mayweather at every oppurtunity, not letting mayweather have time to think and get off as many c0ombo`s as he would like.

obviously hatton is going to have to eat a lot of leather in this fight , but must suck it up and fight full out for the 12 rounds if he is still able.
that has yet to be proven.

hatton must win some of the first 4 rounds to get into the fight and then make it a war.

mayweather will not be used to being wrestled/bullied/mauled/fouled and that is the only type of fight hatton can make if hatton wants to win as IMO mayweather is the best pure boxer hit and not get hit since whittaker.
