I think Hatton will be able to make the first few rounds interesting, the clinic will start around rd5.

I love Hatton and can't stand PBF. But I have this awful pit-in-my-stomach feeling Ricky won't be able to land a glove on Floyd and that he is going to put on a boxing exhibition and win a wide UD. Unless Hatton is able to land multiple hard body shots clean on Floyd, I don't see any way in hell he wins. He gets hit wayy too much, has a tendency to cut and won't be able to cut thw ring off.

I hate saying this but I think we are in for another PBF show tonight.

Unfortunately, I feel the same way

Can i tell you something, I have been around Floyd jr since he was kid following Roger around the golden Gloves Gym in 1993.. He has everything material, but can't for the life of him cant be happy because he has issues.. He has reached a point where his preparations are wearing him down emotionally and its has become the same (great intensity) but the same nonethe less.. Ricky has takin it to another level and Floyd has just done what it takes as always , he doesn't know any more what that hunger is like, and that is the edge Ricky has.. Look at the body language throughout every media event.. forget the brash garbage.. Ricky looks like he is primed , yet i honestly dont think Floyd can figure him out.. he can't reach him with jibes because Hatton makes jokes aimed at himself and Floyd can't handle that.. He just couldn't do such a thing.. I think Floyds talent can win him this fight purely on that.. amazing natural talent.. But what if he is asked more and he starts to get involved out of frustration.. Hatton WILL beat Floyd if it starts to become physical... It has been a long time since Mayweather has had to dig soooo far to win i don't know if amongst this confusion he can do it.. .....

The pressure will be a factor and i can see it all landing on the last two in a very hard run fight where Mayweather for once may be asked to draw on all his reserves..
And that is something he is not used to.. I don't think he rembers how to..

I hope that makes any Hatton fans feel better about his chances..

Different psychology, but it reminds me a bit of Leonard Hagler. I think PBF needed the edge at weigh in and he didnt get it! Hatton has really got him flustered. Cannot wait to see them face to face before the opening bell.
