    Then he has ever been pushed ....I'm still favouring Floyd but not be much.

    Hatton will come into this fight so ****ing fit (as will floyd) that he will be all over Floyd like a cheap suit.

    like i said I still slightly favour Floyd but he gunna have to work for it...and pls dont come at me with that Floyd will make him look silly deal...not an easy fight for PBF not by a long way.

    I dunno....I am not sure Hatton is as good now as Castillo was at LW when PBF fought him.

    But Hatton will push.

    Hatton is a small guy. ODH/Baldomir were big guys with big bodys and long arms and Floyd allowed them to push him back against the ropes b/c he was completely comfortable. If floyd feels like Hatton is dangerous close he will fight a corrales type fight and make hatton use his legs and dance with him. Hatton cant dance. So he will get countered on the move. IE Corrales and Castillo 2 fight. Either way Hattons no defense and no reach and come forward style will make him just an easy target. Floyd will hit him at will. Hatton never seen hand speed like he is going to see in the ring. He dont have defense already.

    Maybe not as good of a boxer that Castillo was but the one clear advantage Ricky will hold over Castillo will be YOUTH. Once again and so often has it happened, Floyd is fighting someone almost the exact same age. Just like Corrales and Judah. The Chico fight was a wipeout but Judah was competitive early on.

    I agree, Floyd will be pushed like nothing we have seen before. This doesn't mean Ricky will win but the pressure and will power he will box with cannot be denied. He is going to fight like there is no tomorrow and boy do I hope there are no delays or fallouts leading up to this fight.

    I respect Hatton, but I don't think pushes Floyd as hard as ODH or JLC did. I might be wrong, and I will admit it if I am, but I think Floyd will beat Ricky by relatively wide UD.

    Won't be easy for sure, Hatton will come 100% prepared and focused, so will Mayweather and this will be tough for both.

    Oh definitely . . . Hatton is aiming at the No1 P4P title . . . so expect him to push for it with everything he's got. Opportunities like this rarely comes around . . . and he's got one shot.

    But believe me . . . win or lose if Hatton shows up impressively it's still going to pump up his stature.

    Oh yeah and DLH is way too big big. He'll walk through all of Floyd's pitter patter potshots and KO him late.

    People are full of ****. Hatton hasn't shown anything yet.

    Hatton is going to bring a totally game plan than DLH. He doesn't fight well going backwards and hardly ever does. He's going to be first and won't try to counter punch with the counter puncher. I think Floyd wins but he won't be able to cruise to victory like he did against DLH. He's not gonna be able to shift into 6th gear and get better gas mileage till he reaches his destination. He is going to have to redline, downshift, and use more gas than he may like.

    i have a feeling that this is going to be an easy W for floyd. i think Floyds ganna fight Hatton like he fought Castillo the second time. his ganna stick and move might even get a stoppage late from accumulation

    I expect to see a lot of hitting and holding on the part of Ricky. I also think Ricky is going to use his elbows and forehead alot in this fight. Don't be surprised to see PBF cut badly in this fight. I still think though, that he will outpoint Hatton.

    I don't agree.

    Hatton's workrate is severely overrated since he actually started fighting prime, world class fighters.
