    How does he win on aggressiveness while getting countered silly the entire fight?

    Do you guys even realise that his jab is not good enough to get inside on Floyd, that his footwork is just average(he's quick, it makes up for it), that his outside defence is terrible against accurate punchers?

    What is wrong with you people?:scaredas:

    You underestimate his head movement, footwork and the ability to close the distance extremely quickly. That's how he is going to get inside :good

    He will get counter at times of course, but he will definitley get inside numerous times, the question then is does he manage to do the damage or not.

    Mayweather is great at clipping people inside also, his defence inside is also one of the best, the few times Hatton gets in will not be successful.

    He's going to get absolutely destroyed, plain and simple.

    His aggressiveness will be effective early, he will throw more punches early on which will make the judges take notice. Oscar won rounds just by throwing more punches, I kinda see Hatton getting in shots early as well.

    I would take all those welterweights to beat Hatton as well, including Quintana. I can't see him doing much of anything at welterweight. At junior welterweight, I would favor him slightly over Malignaggi and Witter. Although Witter is a tough one to call.
