    Floyd Mayweather description:
    ---is the bigger man,
    --- tremendous condition,
    --- physically stronger,
    --- speed demon,
    --- supeior boxing skills,
    --- smarter,
    --- more relaxed /confident
    --- completely prepared,
    --- focused to win and win big (losing not an option)

    Ricky Hatton:
    --- the harder puncher,
    --- throws mostly one punch at a time,
    --- come forward one dimensional fighter,
    --- looks like he is physically stronger than he is
    (the Collazo and Urango fights showed otherwise)
    --- dirty fighter
    --- decent body puncher (more effective at 140)
    --- his style requires tremendous energy and is more draining on the body,
    --- out of shape between fights.

    Does anybody really want to bet their house on Ricky ?
    Hatton is expected to eat a tremenous amount of leather from Floyd.
    Advise Hatton fans to enjoy the first couple of rounds while it lasts.
    The good thing for Ricky is that he is getting well paid.

    I think Collazo is stronger than Floyd. Maybe I'm in the minority.

    I don't know who can lift more weight, but I'd think in a clinch, Hatton would be stronger than Mayweather IMO.

    Well, I'm not sure how much their ability to "lift" a lot has to do with functional strength for boxing. But I think Ricky probably does more on the weights. He's up to, what, like five thousand pounds on the leg press? :yep

    Collazo is stronger than Floyd. Collazo is a definitely a 147lb fighter where Floyds in my opnion is a 140 fighter

    Collazo is a proper welter and I imagine would be stronger

    Half the hatton list does not apply to this fight- Hatton has been in camp far longer than previously and his preparation has been meticulous
