Hatton's chances against Mayweather

Once again you bring up Oscar. Oscar didnt have the workrate, the intensity, the will to do what ricky will. and as for Zoo, he whooped Mitchell in 2 i think, then afterwards floyd did mitchell in 6, so go figure!

 

I think this fight is going to suprise alot of people..

 

OK - Zoo's record 2000-2004.

Sharmba Mitchell TKO 3
Jesse James Leija TKO 6
Ben Tackie UD 12
Zab Judah TKO 2
Oktay Urkal UD 12
Sharmba Mitchell TKO 7
Julio Cesar Chavez TKO 6

****, he even beat Roger Mayweather in 95!

Trust me Zoo was a very, very good fighter. American fight fans gave Hatton 0% chance of winning that fight.

Lets see what occurs shall we.

 

Tszyu WAS on Mayweathers level when they fought,he was regarded as the better 140 man at the time,only reason Mayweather was regarded on the same level as Tszyu was the multiple weights thing.As for the chance that Hatton has on beating Mayweather it will depend on factors outside the 2 fighters.Most importantly the ref,if he allows the protagonists to fight close instead of separating them every 10 sec then Hatton has a great chance if fully fit.

 

And you brought up Castillo so practice what you preach!!, even now Oscar is better than Ricky so why shouldn't i bring up that fight? ,

 

I gave Ricky a 30% chance. Believe me, I hope he beats the crap out of PBF but I dont think he will be able to catch him. I can actully see a stoppage in the fight, cause when Ricky tries to get in close or tries to wrap him up PBF will catch him all night. Hes just too fast and slippery for Hatton to get near him to do any damage

 

Of course he has a chance, I'll probably give him 30% here, every fighter that has the guts to step in that ring has a chance for sure and Hatton is a very good fighter so I don't see why anyone will vote 10%.

 

Most of those fighters were bums though,

 

You brought up castillo you twat, you said Gayweather had already beaten him twice, so check your own **** out before preaching it!

 

You are taking the **** of course. 2 of them had last fights against Cotto and as for JCC - yeah, mega bum.

 

oscar didn't try the same thing....did you see the fight he tried to jab and box his way to the victory and didn't look half bad for most of the fight. But in the end he got pick apart and slowed down. Yes at some points when they were both on the ropes he tried to push floyd around and flurry to the body, but thats just smart fighting to give the judgest something to think about. That wasn't what DLH was trying to win the fight on.

DLH is not a pressure fight. Its not his game and believe me ricky is much better at fighting that way then DLh.

Whether or not he is able to properly pressure PBF is another matter. But I wouldn't rate floyds ability to handle pressure based on the DLH fight because thats just not what happened.


If you want to see Floyd under pressure see the two castillo fights and the chavez fight.

 

Yeah, but he was still 100-4 or something. Would have given many other fighters of the time a kicking.

 

exactly what i have been trying to say all along!:happy

Hatton brings something new to floyd, lest see how he handles it!:rasta

 

I voted 40% for 3 reasons....

1. Hatton has been under-rated by the pbf camp.
2. I lean towards floyd by clean punching.
3. Hatton`s style could coz probs, lots of them.

:good

 

As much as I would love for Floyd to get his ass kicked, I don't think Hatton is the one to do it, especially at 147. The odds should be something like -230 for Mayweather to win and +175 for Hatton to win. I think this is a great opportunity for PBF to shine and have a career defining performance. Hatton is moving up to a weight he's not comfortable at and he's up against a guy who is an 100% elite in his prime with the style he's not comfortable with. I think Floyd COULD blow Hatton out, but WILL HE is another question. I'm guessing he'll do enough to get a clear decision, but not enough to destroy Hatton. That's one of the main things that pisses me off about Floyd. He doesn't care about putting on the most dominant performance he possibly could, he's happy with just winning.
