Floyd Mayweather against Ricky Hatton would be a tremendously popluar fight with success in the money making department. Although the fight would pan out rather straight forwardly and would be a decisive victory to Floyd. Ricky's brawling tactics have brought him success over the course of his career, but these tactics will not be able to be implemented against the great balance of Floyd, who has the best defense in the world, with the ability of moving out of the toughest places in the ring. It would be nearly impossible for Hatton to implement the brawling tactics on a fast and ever moving Floyd who would simply fight on the outside for the entirety of the fight. Thus leading to Floyd winning by a unanimous points decision. The only way Floyd could loose against Hatton would be for him to attempt to beat Hatton at his own game in brawling and fighting on the inside which would be a plain disaster, which Floyd would well know. http://supermiddleweightboxing.blogspot.com/
Hatton's pressure can give anybody trouble, including Mayweather. Whether he wins the fight is a different story.
Floyd was fighting an in injured hand, the right one i believe. I think it was sprained a few days before the fight.
UD for Mayweather if he fights from outside KO to hatton if Mayweather's ego leads him to fighting from the inside
I dont know who will win, but I hope Hatton would. Maybe PBF is the fastest and smartest going backwards. But Hatton is probably the fastest comming forward. I think only Pacman has the same energy level in the ring as Hatton has. Hatton will grab and push or whatever to fix Mayweather so he can hit him. Hatton can take a good punch and still come, but if PBF can deliver good hard punches from distance then maybe he can get Hattons attension and win this way. I am just not sure that PBF has the kind of power and workrate to keep Hatton away. Hatton is much faster than DLH. I think one thing that can be very deciding for the outcome is how fast the ref will break up a clinch. Hatton will try to clinch and then go from there. But if the clinch is broken by the ref. early then it will be very hard for Hatton to win. Therefore the home advantage will be very significant.
You have to create the gap to be fighting on the outside, you assume again that Mayweahter can keep that distance?
Do you know how the refs treat Mayweather in the USA? He will be able to keep his distance, comftorably
yeah what was his excuss in the second fight? cause he barely be him.......and hasn't fought a live body since. That was five years agos.
which americans? I would say that this is more of an english comment. or just an idiots comment. trust me the most ilogical hatton hating I've seen was on the bbc's boxing forum. So don't try to start that american's don't respect hatton ****.
No hating here. All i stated was Hatton fights better from the inside and Mayweather outside. If the fights inside or outside its either fighters win, just the differnce being Hatton winning through Ko and Floyd UD.
