Well in that case you must still have floyds **** in your mouth, and most floys fans are arrogant ****wits like the **** mouth himself!
At 140 I would pick Hatton, but in Vegas at 147 the cards are already filled out. I would never allow Hatton to fight in Vegas.
mayweather has all the advantages in this fight. what hatton really nbeeds is a good training camp and his old stamina back to be competitive. if hatton can go 12 like the duracell bunny that he used to be i can see him causing mayweather no end of problems. on the other hand if hatton bulks up as he did for collazo, he is a sitting duck. there are things i see with mayweather that hatton can exploit , although this to some extent relies on mayweather coming to fight and put on a show rather than get on his bike and peck and move. mayweather adopts this stratergy he will win on points. hatton has to get to the inside obviously and will be caught many times as he tries , but if he grits his teeth and walks through mayweather he will get some success. mayweather has the habit of leaning to his right , chin tucked down to avoid the right cross, but i never see him reverse it much to the other side , which should play into hatton`s left hook to body and head and IMO i do see hatton having more success than say dlh with this shot. hatton also has one hell of a leaping pole of a jab , albeit this can be offset by lateral movement. hattons quick hands/constant pressure if he can sustain it and his overall mauling, banging style is tyhe best style suited to beat mayweather , but at welterweight i think floyd is way more comfertable than hatton and pick mayweather to win on points but hatton to have his rounds and moments. if hatton really does have his old stamina back, he could make it even closer albeit still losing. mayweaher is just to good in defense and punch picking to lose though IMO
I think Hatton is doing this fight for the money. He has nothing to lose. He can keep his title at 140 and defend it if he doesn't win. If he loses, everyone will bash PBF for fighting the smaller guy, even though people forget that Floyd started fighting at 130. It's a good business move on Hatton's part.
Hattons conditioning will be top notch - he now employs one of the best dietitions in the UK..and I'm glad the fight has come now- Hatton has not had a layoff while Floyd has only fought once in how long? It will show on the night trust me
PBF is always in top condition as well, I doubt that will play a factor...both come in in tip top shape. 3 months since PBF fought, same layoff as usual. Hatton only fought a month and a 1/2 after PBF.
Whoever talks of layoffs need to get some boxing knowledge. PBF just went 12 rounds with DLH... it is about rounds. He will be going into the fight with more rounds than Hatton actually. Layoff means nothing.. from a superfight in may to another one in December after going 12 rounds with a hall of famer.. Hatton is going to get embarrassed.
The X factor in this fight is what Mayweather does when he's been hurt - his lack of experience here could come back to haunt him. Is this the best time for Mayweather's first gut check in the ring, the "Hitman" Hatton bearing down on his liver? Hatton WILL hurt him at least once during this fight, and Hatton is a great finisher. This will be closer than everyone thinks.
