    Floyd Mayweather is not proven sharper, stonger or faster with the one shot so the same way ODLH was bigger but not stronger than Floyd, all you guys have to hold on to your horses in what concerns to dismiss Hatton - he has one thing which makes him advantaged to Hoya and that is that he has a better chance to get inside and hit him with good leverage so it'll probably go 12 rounds and Ricky has a small chance of pulling the upset.

    Floyds talent and tools are exceptional but his intangiables will bring him down. If you can't hurt Floyd its all good but if you can tag him nicely Floyd is a safety fighter.

    Ricky stares danger in the face and dares him, danger ALWAYS backs down!

    My official prediction is Hatton via robbery decision.

    Being a reasonably close and competitive fight that nearly objective person says Mayweather takes 7 or 8 rounds, but Hatton win on the cards.

    I don't see how Hatton will win.

    Mayweather is too good. Hatton's only chance is too land a good & powerfull punch that breaks Mayweather's ribs.

    The funny thing is that many Hatton fans consider Hatton giving Mayweather a hard time as some type as victory. It seems 9 out of ten people rooting for the Englishman are saying he MIGHT win IF.......all the planets line up correctly: Hatton is in the best shape of his life, Maywether is distracted by dancing with the stars, the ref allows Hatton's mauling tactics, and 10,000 brits are in Vegas to root Hatton on. That alone should tell how far ahead of Hatton that Mayweather is, as well as if anyone thinks Hatton can really win.

    Not necessarily, moderator... In terms of styles, they both have things going for them. The slick boxer versus pressure fighter is the classic match, and they both do what they do well.

    Floyd can stop him getting set though. They both use angles well, but if Floyd can be the one who is one step ahead and make Ricky react to him, then I have seen Hatton put out of position before. His feet can get behind him and his leverage is reduced.

    On the other hand, if Hatton can cut the ring off, he'll take shots coming in happily in order to get close to Floyd. He had to come in through Tszyu's right hand to get in position, and showed a good command of distance, and a good understanding of good positioning.

    Floyd is elusive, of course, but he's not a great improvisor. He often takes a few rounds to look good while he tries to figure out his foe. If Hatton can press hard enough and be even moderately effective, it might be hard for Floyd to get a rhythm and then it'll be precisely in the opposite order Erratic Behaviour suggested, Floyd loses too many rounds early to turn it around - No disrespect to Erratic, he or she ( Shilpa) already proved to know a lot about the Game...

    I think he can, but the probability of that is very small
