~~~ Final and Official ESB MAYWEATHER v. HATTON ~ ANALYSIS and PREDICTION Thread ~~~

We all know that Floyd Maywaether is the better technition, more skillfull and much faster.
What many do not realize is that Floyd is the better athlete.
His conditioning is second to none.
Also -- Floyd is the stronger man.
Floyd will not be out-muscled by Ricky Hatton.
Floyd will beat him inside, outside, from everyside.
Floyd beats him in everyway.
The only thing that interferes is a disqualification for dirty tactics and it could be either fighter --- Hatton has nothing on Floyd in any catagory.
Hopefully the referree will not lose control of the fight.

 

It is not proven to the eyes of the general public and knowledgeable people that Floyd is faster n sharper with his straight punches ( left lead and sneaking right hand) than Ricky is with his short hooks and long curved volleys.

In what regards to athleticism by definition, Mayweather is not advantaged to Hatton, not even in stamina and least of all in endurance. Floyd's conditioning is pretty impressive thus far but Ricky works harder in the ring cause he comes in there overweight and leaves ripped to the bone.

Floyd is not stronger to shove Hatton around but the other way around is more probable, and I have no doubts that Ricky has a bigger punch than Floyd. Floyd may be out-muscled by Ricky and surely will lose inside against a relentless pressure die-hard fighter. Floyd can even lose from outside as long as Ricky feints faster and speeds up onto him.
Ricky is not a dirty fighter, the clinch and hook tactics are admissible, that was how the old fighters worked, Tony Zale, Marcel Cerdan, Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano and nobody would call em dirty. The referee cannot allow Floyd to stick his left forearm holding Hatton's head away from him and punch him on the break as they reposition themselves.
And after all this, can you believe that I am not rooting for Hatton, LoL?

 

Easy work for Mayweather...he will do the usual..

He will feel Hatton out in the first 3 rounds...he will show more respect to Hatton than he did to Gatti...this means Mayweather will probably give Hatton possibly 2 out of these 3 rounds...

In the 4th, Floyd will go to work...he will start striking like a cobra against a handicapped pig...popping him here and there with some pure shots...Hatton fans will be like, "ohhh ****".

In the 5th, Floyd will gradually start putting these crisp punches together in combinations...implying he can do this at will the remainder of the fight...and he will.

In the 6th, Hatton's face will be swelling if not cut already...this will mark the beginning of desperation for Hatton..he will start getting wilder and wilder...trying to hold more and more.

Rounds 7 through 10 - Domination established by Mayweather with Hatton being gassed by the end of the 10th.

Championship rounds - Mayweather cruising and scoring on command...doing just enough to take the rounds...Hatton will be flailing and falling into Mayweather hoping to clinch out the rest of the fight...because he's bloody, beaten, and embarrassed...Hatton will know in his heart that there's no way he can win..

Mayweather wins by UD 118-110



Wild Card scenarios...

Mayweather feels Hatton out in the 1st...jumps on him in the 2nd...and gets the ref stoppage.

Hatton gets TKOed on cuts in the 7th-10th.

Mayweather does what I said in my original pick...except that he ends the prolonged torture somewhere in rounds 10-12 with devastating combos...TKO by ref stoppage after a couple of knockdowns.

 

You will soon see.

 

Mayweather 8-4 or 9-3. Floyd looses a few rounds due to his lazyness and Hattons determination. I think his stamina has declined over the years and that will prevent him from dominating Hatton. It'll make sure that he fights a relatively conservative fight. Still enough to deal with the likes of Hatton though.
Hattons major strength is his footwork and the ability to outmanouver his opponents. Floyd is better on his feet and so nulifies his greatest asset.

 

Brooklyn stop stealing my posts :yep
:good Excellent post man

 

Ricky Hatton is going to win this, and I can't wait

Might stick 500 of this vcash lark on it

 

I don't think Mayweather will play this fight cautious at all, I just think it'll be total ownage from the off. I'm pretty neutral on this one as I've come to respect Hatton as his career has developed, especially since he dropped Frank Warren like a bad habit - and to his credit he's backed up his claims and taken the big fights.

I just don't see what he has that could possibly trouble a fit and prepared Mayweather though, I think Hatton will get countered to death and stopped in 8 rounds, Floyds going to catch him time and time again with the uppercut and eventually Hatton will fall.

Floyd KO8.

 

First off this will be a much closer fight then most people here have predicted. Mayweather is far from unbeatable, and Hatton is still an elite fighter, still at the top of his game. Mayweather will be bringing his speed, superior technical ability, superior defense and accurate punching to the table. Hatton, his superior workrate, bull like strength, UNDER rated in fighting ability and warriors heart. The strategies are quite obvious, in that Mayweather will be looking to move and counter punch, picking his punches, where as Hatton will be looking to smother and throw from the inside. IMO the fight will play out as follows. After a close couple of first rounds, I think Floyd will take both of them on the score cards due to landing the cleaner punches throughout. Coming into the third, Hatton will start to really warm into the fight, adapt to the hand speed of Floyd, and will become more effective at smothering Floyds offense on the way in. Hatton will bury himself on the chest of Floyd, and will out work him through some of the middle rounds, although Floyd will still be landing clean punches. As the fight nears the 7th, Floyd will start to lift his own workrate, and as his punches begin to take effect on Hatton, he will start to land more and more. Hatton will win one of the later rounds through work rate, and although still being competitive will begin to become frustrated at the defense of Floyd. By the last 2 rounds FLoyds sharp and stinging shots will have begun to hurt Hatton more and more, and Floyd wil take out the last rounds in exciting fashion, giving him the victory 8-4, in an exciting yet sometimes ugly fight.

 

What people have forgotten here is that Floyd's biggest weakness is that he becomes too defensive at times when faced with a very active offense, especially when he is not given room to throw. If guys like Chavez, who is frankly not as good as Hatton, or as strong, could win rounds off FLoyd like this, surely Hatton can do the same. People are under rating Hattons ability to get on the inside without getting tagged. His timing here is quite good, and he simply rushes without throwing punches often times, which can make him difficult to counter punch. This will be a hard fight for Floyd, and although I see him winning, it will by no means be a shutout. I just don't think that Hattons pressure will be effective enough to beat FLoyd. I think his HEART will get the best of him, and leave himself open for counters too often.

 

Mayweather is ready to put on the performance of his life, as there is real bad blood between the two after Hatton direspected him.

Mayweather will win the first round after hurting Hatton, then put his foot on the gas in the second & win by stoppage. Thats what I honestly see happening. Hatton wont be KO'd, but will be stopped on his feet sagging against the ropes as Mayweather batters him with a blinding barrage of punches. look out for Floyds lightning overhand right to punish Hatton. Every time Ricky tries to land his left hook to the body, Floyd will step back & counter him with the punch that pulverised N'Dou.
& as Hatton only ever fights one way, thats why I predict a quick end for him. Hatton has no plan B, whereas Mayweather has so many dimensions to his game they are almost uncountable.

remember where you heard it first, Floyd wins, RSF2

 

Sorry sir, I think this is proven. Hatton misses a whole lot of shots and he misses wildly. Floyd can bait him and make him miss. Floyd does this all the time. He will go right in punching distance and the other guy will throw and he will make them miss a few times then start to time his counters.

 

I have to agree with this. I think the fight will be close the first 3 rounds. After that, Floyd will pull away. Getting more aggressive as the fight goes on, looking for a stoppage. I'm looking foward to a counter clinic to be put on :yep
