    This is the cornerstone of PBFs defence- no fighter has managed to figure it out thus far....

    I presume you were going to say Mayweather, and no I didn't. At all.

    Hatton's left hook to the body won't land cleanly in the middle of the ring on a defensive guru like PBF.:deal

    maybe you should watch the fight instead of watching the referee, oscar landed quiet alot of left hooks to the body which didn't hurt mayweather.

    Gatti isn't Hatton, there is a world of difference between them.

    Hatton will have to invade Floyd's space to stay in range and nullify Floyd's counters. There's a real question of whether he can do this.

    I think Paul Williams is the most ideal candidate to deal with the shoulder roll, because he has the punching angle (up high) and reach to fire over the top, and he can do it from a distance that will make countering very difficult for Floyd.

    And if you can bring Floyd out of that stance for the duration of a fight, the outcome of the bout is in play.

    I say hit is ass in the damn shoulder until that **** goes numb. do you remember how Cotto damn near broke Branco's shoulder? that's exactly what you need to do to mayweather. hit his ass where ever you can, but make it hurt. if he gives you and arm/shoulder, break it.

    Two problems with this one Hatton doesn't have Cotto's power and two PBF isn't Branco.

    Yes, he will be. Hatton will take alot of punishment in order to land some shots, but he'll deal with Floyds pot-shots. And if he can't find him in the middle of the ring, he'll have to get him on the ropes.

    I think RH has a decent chance to make something happen. If Hatton can pull the upset, expect a trilogy. PBF would win the 2nd fight, this setting up a 3rd. Mucho $$$ to be made.
