does anybody actually think hatton will beat Mayweather?

I do, why not?

I'll buy the fight as I think it will be an interesting one. I see Floyd being a little aggressive and exchanges more on this one. I'm not really rooting for anybody. Whoever loses, I care less.

 

I'll be rooting for Hatton but I cant see him winning it.

The Floyd nutthuggers are going to be in for a surprise. It will be competitive from start to finish.

Mayweather will look uncomfortable for the first few rounds as he feels Hatton's pressure and power, but he'll start to take over preceedings in the mids and by the championship rounds he'll be in command of the fight but will ultimately win it around the 116-112 mark.

 

Sure I do. I think Mayweather would be favourite, but not a runaway one, certainly not to the level a fair few here think.

Hatton's got a chance and I'll be cheering him on

 

I'll be supporting him but expect him to lose a decision. That said, he's got as good a chance as most of beating Floyd, in my eyes at least. He can't be written off entirely and is certainly going to be up for it if nothing else.

 

Hatton's not Gatti. He's quicker, stronger and more skilled. On top of that, he's going to be tight to Floyd all night, making it harder for PBF to shred him with combos in the manner he did Gatti.

 

I sure as hell don't!

 

I've said long ago when Tszyu lost to Hatton that he'd be the one to beat Mayweather. This was back during my ESPN days.

People keep overlooking some important facts about Hatton but oh well. I believe it'll be competitive but I feel Hatton has the right size, speed and style to bug a defensive master like Mayweather.

But like I've said before, this fight will ultimately be scrutinized by the way the ref officiates it. He's either gonna allow the close combat/mauling, or he won't. I have no doubts that whoever gets his favor will win this fight.

 

If someone said to me "If you pick the winner, I'll give you a million pounds", I'd go with Mayweather. However, I think Hatton has a very good chance.

Hatton is in the mould of guys who gave Mayweather the most trouble. Like Castillo, who should have won their first fight, and De La Hoya, who would have won if he had more stamina, Hatton is a relentless attacker. Anyone who throws a ton of punches will lways have a good chance against Mayweather, because of his defensive style. Hatton being so unorthodox and non-stop means he will give PBF problems. It all depends on how Mayweather reacts to those problems.

My biggest worry is how Hatton will look at 147lbs. If he isn't as ripped as he is at 140bs, he is losing. No doubt about it. He needs to be the stronger man here.

Both men can win this fight. Anyone who says "Mayweather can't lose" or "Hatton will win easily" is simply wrong. The fight will be close and I really don't know who will win.

 

Mayweather is far too good for him. I will be cheering him on like mad but don't see how he wins.

 

:goodI think hatton will "SHOOK UP THE WORLD"

 

It will be competitive but I cant see PBF losing any time soon or until he fights SSM

 

With all the distractions Mayweather has right now, if Hatton was ever going to beat him, now would be the time. But i believe he still won't do it. RH's biggest win was against Tsyzu in England where his over the top clutch and grab style was allowed where as in the US that **** don't fly. RH's limited adapting skills to a world class boxer was exposed by Luis Collazo and was almost knocked out. Mayweather is all about the dollar bills and knows theres huge money in a rematch. My prediction,...Hatton will be cut to ribbons by the eigth round and then Mayweather will beat that ass down again if there is a rematch. I like Hatton but he's got a puncher's chance.
