Floyd has 4 Ko's in 11 fights above 130. Does that SCREAM vicious puncher? Especially against out matched/out classed/shot opposition including Mitchell, Gatti, and Bruseles. Floyd's power is ****ing OVER RATED:good Not saying he has no pop, but he AINT A KO ARTIST by any stretch of the imagination.
That his a true point. The reason hatton is ko ration his good his becasue he can wear people down that his how hatton wins a lot by ko and he maybe able to do it to pbf.
Hatton lunges....Floyd is a sharp puncher that can get short hooks off in a blink. That is a recipe for a flash knockdown if anything. Floyd is going to time and catch hatton swinging and drop him like he did Chico. Hatton will get up fighting harder but get countered and tagged a whole lot. When Collazo did the simplest **** and just backed up as Hatton came in and countered him he had him knocked out on his feet for a whole half a round with Ricky HOLDING FOR DEAR LIFE. He barely finished the fight. If the ref would of warned for constant compulsive holding the fight would of ended with a TKO for Collazo.
I guarantee Floyd will sting him and that look on his face will change quickly . He will become much more cautious with how he fights.
You are trying to play it off as Mayweather is the one who sold those 2.2 million PPV's when he foiught Oscar. He didnt. Can you not accept that?
hatton will try and pressure pbf. pbf will counter and move. if hatton lands some big body punches early, pbf will slow, and it will become a hatton type of fight. if hatton cannot get close to pbf, ala gatti, it is a ud for pbf.
Jesus Wept the ignorance of some people on here is staggering. Hatton ate Collazo's shots clean on the chin for 12 rounds, and by said 12th round they had taken a toll and he was in trouble. Any fighter who gets power punched repeatedly is going to feel it. Does this mean they have a suspect chin? No. Hatton had a flash knockdown against Magee. He was up and fine in all of a second. Floyd does have some pop because he can hit so cleanly and so fast. Why do people insist on decrediting fighters unnecessarily?
Lets not forget that Zab put Mayweather down, but it was ruled a "slip". A clear right hook to the face.
It's not Hatton the one underestimating anyones power but Floyd who was obviously been very vocal about the former's ability all along. I think Hatton prefers to let his performance speaks at the right time in fight night instead.
