    Like plenty of Hatton fans I think Floyds gonna beat him and I personally would go so far as to say Mayweather's gonna mess him up bad. Plus lots of Hatton fans think Hatton will win but that it will be tough as hell and there are those of course who think he'll stop Mayweather. So you've got the full spectrum of opinions from the Hatton supporters.

    However I haven't seen a single Mayweather fan who gives Hatton any credit, let alone any chance of victory and I don't even recall any PBF fans who even think it will be a hard nights work for their boy.

    So, are there any PBF fans out there who think their fighter is going to lose, could lose, or is even in for a tough night out? Because if not then surely this is a gimme fight for Floyd and does nothing to enhance his legacy or cemment his position as P4P champ.

    I'm sure some Floyd fans will give Hatton credit.

    The ball suckers won't.

    I like them both for different reasons. Hatton can win, but I'm picking Floyd.

    I see no way Hatton can win this fight. I don't understand how he gets so much credit for wrestling. I would say the same thing if he was fighting Shane or Cotto too.

    the lack of respect for hatton from some floyd fans is really low, and they are only devaluing their boys impending win and making him look worse. still morons like standi are too pig ignorant to realise that.

    It doesn't matter who Floyd beats or what he does. Some people still won't give him credit.

    If Floyd beats Hatton then I will give him plenty of props. Hatton is definitely the underdog in this fight but he has tools that threaten Floyd more than most out there and he is the legit man at 140. Then again, I've always given Floyd credit.

    Well I'm a Mayweather fan, so call me a 'Mayweather fan boy' if you must. I think Hatton can beat Mayweather yes. If Floyd isn't aggressive and lets Hatton get his shots off first. If uses his jab to get inside, if Hatton sticks on Mayweathers chest, is aloud to grapple, and throws 60punches a round for the whole fight and maybe hurts Floyd to the body early. Then Hatton has a chance of a UD or even a stoppage.

    I also thought Judah and Delahoya could cause upsets (although I favoursed Floyd as I do here)

    No one is unbeatable and a good man can beat an even better man on the right day

    So yes a Hatton win is definately possible but I also see the possibility of Mayweather winning every round or even stopping Hatton mid-rounds aftr dominating. Hatton may also score a bodypunch KO (I doubt this though)

    Maybe I shouldn't have used the phrase fan boy... no offense meant

    You're the first mayweather fan I've seen who has actually said that Hatton could win and how he might pull the upset.

    That is utter shite. Like me, most people hate the ******* but few can deny that he is a master craftsman. I personally don't enjoy watching him fight but there is no doubting his effectiveness. If FMJ had the personality and respect of someone like Hatton then he'd be one of the most popular boxers ever. I really believe that. It's just that most of us find him nauseating.

    the fact is that most FMJ 'fanboys' honestly believe that he is unbeatable. When they have followed boxing for more than 12 months they will realise that everyone is beatable.

    I think pbf fans will never give hatton any credit even if he beats pbf it will be he held him blah blah blah
    I do not like pbf as a person but you would have to be mad to say hes not p4p at the minute

    Thats because most Mayweather fans are 14 year old wannabe gangstas harbouring homo-erotic fantasies about Floyd.:deal

    I favour Mayweather about 70/30.

    I still haven't decided whether Hattons relentless aggression is going to be the ultimate stylistic advantage or disadvantage yet - Initiating combat and trying to get inside could play into Mayweathers hands.

    I think Hatton is a little underrated, and I think Mayweather is not as determined as he normally would be approaching a fight, having accomplished the pinnacle of his ambitions in defeating Oscar.

    But his talent is so immense, it's just difficult to see him losing to Hatton. Still, you never know. Hatton could shock him if he does manage to cut off the ring and stay inside.
