    I am not sure if Floyd can handle pressures from Hatton.

    Hatton is very aggressive and come forward... not sure if Floyd can handle that.

    Mayweather UD. I'm not even particularly excited about this fight as I don't think it'll be all that competitive.
    Floyd is too fast, too slick, and has amazing defense.
    Sure, Hatton will try and maul PBF and work the body, but I don't expect he'll be effective enough to muster more than a couple of rounds.
    I like Ricky, but I think some are giving him just a little too much credit. He's good, but not good enough to beat Mayweather.

    Odd statement. Doesn't seem to an awful lot difference in ability between Hatton and a prime Castillo. Both damn good fighters. :huh

    Still I pick Floyd by clear decision. By 4-5 rounds imo.
    Floyds low punch output might keep at least fairly competitive although Hatton might force Floyd to up his level considerably.

    Hatton should have insisted the fight be at 140 lbs or like 142 and not at 147 - that is a big plus for PBF imo...

    i don't see the weight as a big issue because in spite of appearances, floyd is no welterweight. floyds skill level is such that he is more able to fight bigger men than hatton is possibly capable of, but i don't see it as a big factor in this particular fight. hatton may well lose but i don't think the reason will be any size differential
