If Mayweather Hatton goes to the cards

No... Floyd wins by a wide decision.

 

that's if hatton doesn't hit him enough. hatton will never win a boxing match. that is a given, but he could apply enough pressure, higher work rate, and roughness to cause floyd's punch output to drop in favour of stamina, and survival. if that happens then expect a similar fight to castillo/floyd 1, but with hatton doing more to eek out the decision.

and don't say it can't be done. often times a energetic, volume puncher can outhustle a slickster simply by number of punches thrown. floyd will have a way higher connect percentile. probably over 50% while hatton might only muster around 20-25%. BUT! floyd don't throw as much as he did in the lower weights, and that just might cost him.

and also no bull**** about floyd standing toe to toe. if he does that, he will either get ko'ed or quickly give ground and start doing a stick and move, which means less punches thrown, again. so hatton does have a chance, but his stamina has to be even better than in the kostya fight. that much is for sure.

 

no if that was the case de la hoya would of got the nod in may

 

Mayweather is the much bigger name everywhere bar Britain!!, so no this situation will never happen.

 

Hard to push this as a point when a vast majority felt PBF won against DLH.

 

Mayweather will win beacause he is the better fighter and will win more rounds. Hatton only chance is a KO.

 

There's always the chance that the judges will favor activity and pressure over picked accurate punching. And if Hatton stays busy and throws a ton throughout the fight, who knows. But i don't see that happening. I think PBF will win enough rounds decisively.

 

:huh
When the **** was that?

The fact that DLH got the nod from one judge in that fight basically is a sign that going to the judges = taking your chances with an inept system.

Although it would be poetic justice if Floyd got screwed as it might teach him to start putting guys away again, or at least pretenting to try to put them away.

 

"He's not box office" but yet has been doing big numbers lately!!, that doesn't make sense..

 

Don't be silly

 

****, man is this how ****ing crooked boxing has become. People being cynical already about the gifting of a decision to the more marketable fighter in a fight that is over 2 months away. Or is it a Floyd fanboy trying to cover all the bases in advance incase his idol did lose?

Either way this thread is ****ed up.

 

I think Mayweather has a chance of even stopping Hatton. Floyd hits harder than people give him credit for, it even looked to me in the mid rounds of the De La Hoya fight that he rocked Oscar, who has a solid beard. Hatton also cuts easy, so the whole scorecard arguement could go out the window. Who knows?
