Devise a strategy for Ricky Hatton to beat Floyd Mayweather

Hatton stand his ground in the center of the ring. Have you seen Hatton in the center of the ring..........................................no...if he is he grabs the guy and pushes the guy back to the ropes. Hatton is not comfortable in the center of the ring. Hatton cannot do anything to floyd withoug getting punched first and last. Floyd is the master of getting off first and getting the last punch. That is why he beat ODH. Hatton wont have to follow floyd around this fight. Floyd is not fighting for a points victory. He is going to try to humiliate hatton with a beating. Hatton will be game and land one punch at a time. Hattons best punch is the left hook to the body and doubling it and tripling it. He cant use this punch in the center of the ring against floyd. He needs him on the ropes. Hatton has fast hands....but he throws wide punches. And he leaves himself open after every big punch. Hatton will lose badly. He will look good for 3 rounds with oohhs an aahhs from the crowd..then it will turn...damnnnnnn!

 

I would tell him to be very aggressive hit him on the hips,shoulders ,outside elbows,under the arms, and try and cut him to totally spook him then work on the cut till the ref stoops it because thats going to be his best chance..MUG HIM!!!!!!

 

Break his ribs.

 

Yeah Floyd is going to stand there and let him do all that...ok..good imagination though. I mean floyd has fists too. I mean Hatton is not exactly a hard target:-(

 

Yes I have seen Hatton fight lots of times. And he does take the center of the ring. Why the hell would he just stand there in the center? You aren't following this right. Taking the center doesn't mean you just stand there. It means you push your opponent out of the center. When he is further from the center he has to take longer to get from one corner to another. Whereas you from the center can jump out and cut him off easier than just following him around.

Guys who punch and grab nullify all offense. Just watch a Ruiz fight sometime and tell me how many people got off on him first and last. Mayweather will quickly tire of being grabbed and pushed around. He'll get on his bike whether he wants to or not.

Well, I feel Hatton is the smaller man. And Mayweather probably hits compareably hard when he wants to. Usually Mayweather gives up the center and his opponents just follow him around like dumbasses. Castillo was the last guy, a true pressure fighter, who utilized the center of the ring greatly to dictate when and where they'd exchange. Despite the 140lb factor, Hatton's punch n' grab style will be decisive in who takes center ring.

I'd say his best punch is the overhand right. The one he leads with. The left hook is the finisher if he lands it clean enough though. But more often than not that lead right hand sets up everything Hatton does.

And he is wide open because he has no intention of being at your punch range. I got into this same argument over the Tszyu fight. You can't hit a guy with straight punches when he's right on your chest. Hatton is very clever, you cannot underestimate him.

 

Great analysis I agree with everything you said.:good

 

In that clip floyd is whooping castillos ass..lol castillo aint hitting ****

 

honestly Hattons only shot is to land a haymaker. floyd is too long, too fast and too smart. Not saying that hatton isnt a smart fighter because he is, but what Im saying is floyd is too smart to give Hatton his only shot at winning the fight.

Floyd wins this one easy somthing like 118-110, or maybe even a ref stoppage or corner stoppage.

 

Hatton won't beat Mayweather, but it's only because Mayweather will, as usual, run the whole time and avoid a fight. In the one dogfight he was on (Castillo I) he got his ass kicked plain and simple and was gifted.

He ain't fighting anyone who can beat him ever again, and if he does, he will run the whole time like against DLH.

 

Perosnally I don't think Mayweather ran against DLH or Baldo, but if you wanna make that argument, fine. But please tell me how he ran against Judah, Mitchell, Gatti, Bruseles,Corley, N'Dou(this was a true dogfight, that Floyd won by KO via a triple right hook to the dome, I'm must assume youv'e never seen this fight). How about against Jesus Chavez, or Diego Corrales? I could go on. If people wanna say Floyd doesn't let his hands go enough, or is a jerk, or needs to fight better comp, or is too defensive that's fine. But I never got why people so passionatley try to claim that he runs. This is a guy who is known for standing in front of his opponent or against the ropes and using the philly shell while twisting and turning to avoid shots.

 

REAL TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yeah but hatton ain't castillo, if floyd fights in close like that with hatton, hatton will take him out.

 

Hold for 2:58 of every round and fire one combination.

 

Run for 2:58 of every round and fire one puncn at a time.

 

That is the best way to beat Floyd Probably the only way for Ricky to beat Floyd is by beating him in his pockets by turning down a fight with FMJ and accepting a fight with DLH, that would be a huge slap in the face, and Ricky could easily look at Floyd and tell him, well a fight with Oscar makes Dollas so according to you it must make sense.
