    I would agree with you relentless, but HAtton is plain to slow to land that shot. Normally the best way to throw some1 off that uses the shoulder roll, well my trainer tells me to feint a lot, cuz Floyd reacts to which side he thinks the punches are going to come from. So if Hatton had faster hands, he could feint a lot and land left hooks IE: wat oscar was tryin to do, and landed sometimes

    Hatton is pretty fast- 3 times as fast as Baldomir and will follow up his good work unlike DLH. Floyd plans to ride out the early storm as he did with DLH. Hatton needs to cause as much damage as he can early on so as PBF is less effective in the later rds..if it involves mauling, grappling etc i don't care..expect a lot of complaining from Floyd.

    So expect the referee to be very influential in this fight

    BUt in all actualiy Hatton is too limited a fighter to get through Floyd's guard. BUt if he can feint, and land hard shots then mayb he has a chance

    His hands arent fast in my opinion, I mean yeah he has faster hands than Baldomir, But his punches arent crisp, they are easy to telegraph and against a counter puncher like FLoyd he is going to pay a price for that. I dont think Floyd will allow Hatton to back him in a corner to do much damage. Oscar was able to do that b/c of his overall size, and the size of the ring as well. Hatton is smaller, if not the same size as floyd. Floyd is going to kep the fight in the middle of the ring and, pot shot and move all night, frustrate Hatton to death. If floyd puts 2gether his combinations that night like when he fought Gatti, the fight is goign to end early. If floyd chooses 2 throw 1 shot at a time the fight will go 12rounds, but Hatton will looked f***ed up. I dont hate hatton or wateva, he isnt to special in my eyes. But against floyd given the skill he posses, I cant see him winning honestly.

    I predict Hatton will take a couple of rds to make an impact... it all depends on the ref-if he lets Hatton grapple and hit etc

    I don't like Mayweather, his attitude and the fact that the WBC will fall over backwards to give people like him (and De La Hoya) a belt. However, he has bags of talent but he has not faced the best/hardest challenges out there.

    I really want to see Hatton fight Witter, it's more likely if Hatton loses to Mayweather I guess. We may then have a WBC title bout in the MEN.

    Both Hatton and Mayweather have hand picked opponents and given up belts rather than face the number 1 challengers.

    I guarantee Billy Graham will have "larger, stronger, shoulder rollers" sparring with Hatton. It's a vicious punch to the body thats the key for Hatton. Can Mayweather stay away from Hatton and pot shot him to victory? Or will Hatton force Mayweather back and break his body?

    I'm pretty confident Hatton would not beat a Paul Williams or Tony Margaritto, his biggest chance is against Mayweather. Strange but I think true.

    When you think about it seriously, Hatton has no chance at all does he? When you think it through.

    Beating lightweights and superfeatherweights at home and struggling against Collazo doesn't bode well for someone who beat a 154lb De La Hoya last time.

    I take it you are referring to the arm punches he threw to Floyds body when he tied him up against the ropes.

    DLH did have success in hitting PBF in the arms. Don't know why he went away from it. Hatton isn't going to be able to pull that off.

    Also, correct me if I am wrong, PBF has I believe 3-4 base defenses he uses depending on the style.

    Hatton needs to get in his face and make it a brawl. He will need to cut off the ring and come from angles.

    Half guard can be penetrated just like any other guard - to the body, inside of the shoulder, right hands, to the chest.

    It's all about throwing the right shot at the right time.

    relentless pressure + stamina = PBF's NEMESIS

    but, we'll just have to see...PBF is a great boxer
