Decebal · Dec 8, 2007

Mayweather confirmed he is the best fighter in the world...not because he beat Ricky, but because of the way that he did it...:yep

Quite a few people have a claim to having the best analysis of the fight...let's see...which one do you think is the best?:think

How do you think this fight will play out?
I expect this fight to be close for the first 4 rounds. Hatton will pressure Floyd, move him back, dig into the body, and make it a physical/rough fight. Then, Floyd will adjust to Hatton and catch him coming in, stick and move, and make Hatton's aggression and pressure ineffective. He will sit down on his shots more in the mid to late rounds and throw quick/sharp/snappy combinations that bust up Ricky's face and make him more tired than usual (because of the shots he's taking and the movement of Floyd). I see a very good performance from Floyd Mayweather in this fight, with Hatton having some nice moments.

Final Prediction
Floyd Mayweather Jr UD12 Ricky Hatton
117-111, 117-111, 116-112

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.

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.

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

Certainly Decebal,

This doesn't even need a lengthy right up and the fact that people think that this will even be moderately competitive shows how overrated Hatton is and why Floyd will get immense amounts of undeserved credit for absolutely shredding an overrated British poster boy who is at his ultimate stylistic disadvantage.

- Hatton is awful against defensive counter punchers.

- Floyd's 1-2 and timed hooks will land and find a home early, Hatton will feel them, Floyd is not a feather fist.

- Hatton lacks the jab to get inside, lacks the footwork and head movement to stop the counter punches everytime he attempts.

- Hatton lacks outside accuracy, this lacking the ability to upset speed and get into his inside fighting realm enough to score.

- As mentioned, Floyd's uppercut and bodywork are excellent when he uses them, I expect him to use both and expect both to hurt Hatton on numerous occassions.

- Both have great stamina, but Hatton's going to be taking a beating from all angles and when he's getting destroyed trying to fight his fight, he will go tentative and try to box his way in confused and continue to get shredded from a more outside stand point.

- Hatton cuts easily.

...............

So everything points to a one sided Floyd Mayweather beatdown, leading to a stoppage anywhere from round 8-11 is what I am guessing. It's just ABSURD that people think that a guy without an effective jab is in the same league as the great pressure fighters, he's a rough housing swarmer and he's going to get annihilated.

Floyd TKO 9.

Let me add something else Decebal, Hatton will be lucky to take a single round clean, that's how bad of an outclassing/shredding it's going to be.

I've already broken down this fight a dozen times. I can't wait until Hatton gets a dose of PBF's handspeed, footwork and defense. He will be in for the shock of his life, when he realizes that those tactics he employs against everyone else he's fought won't work against PBF.:yep
PBF gives Ricky a boxing lesson and wins by UD or late round TKO. People will then know why many were saying PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Hatton:deal

I just don't believe Hatton has enough to win this fight. I think he will totally outbox him for 12rds. Hatton is smaller and I believe slower. I don't think he is going to be able to bully Floyd. If, Hatton can get to his body consistently, maybe, maybe, he has a shot. I look at this fight and make a comparison to the ODLH fight, and I wonder what Hatton could do differently? I don't see anything different or better, which is why I pick Floyd. Floyd UD winning every rd.
