If mayweather prepares for Hatton as if it's a forgone conclusion, not only will he lose but he'll get ktfo!!! A tip top Hatton vs a tip top Mayweather = Mayweather A tip top Hatton vs a ok conditioned Mayweather = Hatton So there you have it folks!!! I really hope Mayweather's peeps are reading this for his sake 'cause complacency's a *****. JUST ASK MIKE TYSON!!:bbb
Didn't you watch HBO's 24/7 - Mayweather trains everyday. He doesn't train for fights - him and B-Hop are kind of the same - they stay in shape all year round - therefore they are always prepared for a fight. And I believe - even an OK Mayweather beats a top conditioned Hatton. Not to take anything away from Hatton - but Mayweather is that good.
He cannot condition his body to Hattons body shots. If FM goes to a corner and does that rolling defence thing he does to protect his head then Hatton will punish him to the body. If Floyd runs, Hatton will catch up with him. I See FM being aggressive in this fight, thats the key to win. Perhaps to cut Hatton up early. FM cannot let Hatton get into the fight. To win FM will have to have a fast start and put Hatton off from putting on an attack. Hatton can win this fight. It's Matador against Bull, as simple as that. :thumbsup
So if Hatton wins then FM will have been old or shot will he? Hatton is a real "live" undefeated opponent for FM.
lets see how floyd reacts to have someone on him from bell to bell,lets see if hes got a plan b or if hes got the heart to stand&fight?personally i dont think so.
Its really sad to see Hatton fans in such denial.Hatton DOES have ONE chance, but I doubt that the boxing commision will allow Ricky to bring a 9mm into the ring.
but he had the heart to trade with castillo with broken ribs and a torn rotator cuff, then he went and had a rematch with him because it was close hatton didnt rematch collazo after a very close fight and ran back to 140 , nobody questions his heart
He also promised a rematch to Kostya somewhere besides Ricky's backyard and he never delivered on that promise either.
you are off on this...first Floyd protects his body with his arms very well while rolling the head shots...notice his left arm arcross the body and the bottom of the right arm (elbow area) protecting the punch he hit Castillo with. Floyd doesnt run he positions...which means getting out of corners and off ropes to get back to the center of the ring...if you watch floyd in the center of the ring he stands his ground very much. When he feels he is being trapped he then gets out of that position only to get back into the center of the ring...ODH fight in the center of the ring is where floyd let his punches go and ODH...probaly a big reason ODH lost he kept trying to trap Mayweather...not gonna happen and ODh footwork is superior to Hattons. PBf often fights better in later rounds than early rounds so he doesnt need a fast start on Hatton to win although who wouldnt take it. I agree Hatton can win this fight every fighter has a chance BUT his chance is slim .
yeah, I think floyd will be able to defend hatton's attack pretty well. Hatton comes straight forward, maybe with a slip, and then starts hooking. Mayweather's footwork and lateral movement are very good, so hatton is gonna need to use some strategy if he wants to bang inside. Also, how is he gonna defend against floyd's handspeed and combinations? His only shot is aggression and hurting floyd early. I still see it a UD for floyd.
Well that was the case with Oscar but we all know what happened there... And don't give me the BS that Oscar is an old grandpa, Oscar is more skilled than Hatton and should have more knowledge how to corner Mayweather, but he failed to do so. So Hatton will fail to. Floyd will just pick him off at range to the head and frustrate Ricky so that he will make more mistakes for MW to capitalize on.
