    It depends how Mayweather fights. IF mayweather is aggressive like he was against Gatti/Hernandez it will be a white wash and Hatton maybe stopped

    If Mayweather backs up and waits for his opponent to stop punching like against Delahoya it will be a much closer fight but I still expect Floyd to land the cleaner punches and win the decision

    Exactly Dunky. You cannot reason with some people. However after PBF does a number on Hatton those of us with good judgement would have been vindicated. I can also see from the press conferences especially the one in Manchester that PBF has succeeded in getting under Hatton skin just as he intended.

    Jeff mate I am fine. I have been abroad on business but now back in town. I disagree with the theory of beating PBF. I think it will require a skilled boxer puncher similar to PBF who has great timing and variety. If you like something similar to Wilfredo Benitez who would ideally be a southpaw.

    Some of the guys PBF has made toast like the peak Castillo, the unbeaten Corrales, Jesus Chavez, Angel Manfredy etc have had the same or similar intensity if anything I can argue that Castillo and Chavez were better technically than Hatton.

    Billy Graham thinks this fight will be like Duran versus Leonard 1. I disagree for starters Hatton has not got the same skill level as Duran and he cannot develop it now. If anything I see this fight along the lines of Azumah versus Jeff Fenech especially the 2nd fight though I gave the first fight to Azumah as well 116 to 112. Hatton can be effective and sensational against certain fighters however he is in trouble against certain types. I was at ringside for his fight againdt Tyzu which many hail as his best. People forget that Tyzu was winning this fight until round 7. Great fighter that Tyzu was his skills, speed and timing are not like PBF's. I am going on the record now to say that PBF will close the show somewhere between rounds 6-10 in a performance similar to his destruction of Gatti and Corrales.

    I think I dreamt that Mayweather would stop Hatton In 3 rounds. It went out like a news report.

    FLoyd will make Hatton look like a less superior version of Calzaghe Vs Lacy as FLoyd can never be as good as Joe.

    DLH doesn't know very much about pressure; Hatton does. He may surprise you.
