    If mayweather wins which in a convincing manner or it does look like a UD win. There will be no complaints from me.

    floyd knows hatton's good, he's just trying to get inside his head. hatton may be in tip-top shape, but floyd is not taking this any less seriously. dancing with the stars only conditioned him more - he was exercising like 4 times a day. hatton may come across as more desiring, but there is nothing floyd takes more seriously than boxing. losing is basically not an option to him, so don't be fooled by the complacency and mistake it for him taking it easy. hatton basically thinks he's so tough and conditioned but forgets something: skill and smarts. floyd is so technical and will have fun dodging hatton as he comes forward with his square stance. And we know floyd is a smart fighter who feels comfortable anywhere in the ring and can adapt to any situation. sure floyd will take some shots, but it won't be anything new, just a near-perfect technician outclassing another challenger.

    I hope mayweather is not taking it lightly because if he wants to punish hatton just because some of the hatton fans in manchester started to take the **** out of him cause he would not come out for more than ten mins cause of our famous weather up in the north of england he will stop being a big girls blouse (hopefully uk fans will ge the pun.):good

    Hatton is my favourite fighter. If PBF fights how he did with DLH then Hatton will lose a close UD.
    If PBF fights to the top of his ability then Hatton loses either a wide UD or gets stopped.

    If Hatton can land someone with a truly clean shot like the Castillio fight then yes the fight changes and that is what I am hoping for, but I do not see it. I think PBF is truly one of the most gifted fighters of all time.

    Strike Love the picture of kelly brook if thats her. Hatton to win this needs to pressure for three minutes because from watching oscar fight mayweather does not seem to fight for three minutes.

    It is indeed Kelly...

    I agree with what he needs to do, but it is just nearly impossible. Oscar is bigger than Hatton by a long way, he is taller, heavier by nature and has a bigger reach and he also has more one punch power.

    PBF slips so much that pressure has to be accurate, he can afford to not fight and just slide off the ropes...but you are right that is Hattons chance.

    But my main worry is that I have watched and supported Hatton since he was about 10 fights deep and he deals with aggression and one punch power fine but he does not like counter punchers and fast hands. He was closer to being stopped by nothing hitter Collazo than Tsyzu ever got near.....speed kills him....

    BUT, yes Hatton has the chance to suffocate **** face and I hope he does it.

    True, but i am just sick of people comparing this to the gatti massacre, because gatti was way past his prime.

    I know it would have happened in the prime but hatton is different to gatti or baldimour.

    Hatton is a whole other animal than Baldomir or Gatti...with his disgraceful, horrible style...but Hatton WILL lose to Mayweather in a comparable fashion...either by dominant UD or stopped.

    Right now, I'm leaning towards a result almost as bad and embarassing as what happened to Gatti....

    I would bet more money on Hatton winning than on Floyd knocking him out

    :good

    and if anyone has noticed floyd has kept the mouthing to a minimum, and I think the reason for that is , The fight is already sold and there nothing more he can do or say to make the event any bigger then it already is .. the only thing left to do now is fight..
