LOL!!! im retired in america, that doesnt mean im retired in the UK. lol!!!! but he said at the end hes just talkin... typical
You need a supreme brawler or boxer to beat Floyd. They need to be able to box a bit and brawl a bit. I'm thinking Cotto and Mosley but even then Floyd has the tools to come through. Hattons got to get Floyd with some one night only type brillance. He got stick to him like flys on ****. He need to hit him everywhere and places where it hurt like the balls and back of the head. This isn't about being clean, this is about getting the W. This is boxing not ballet, that's Hattons mentality. Ricky got to do **** to make Floyd keep his hands at home. Get him in the safety mentality where Ricky wins round on actually working. Judah did it, DLH did it, some others have done it. Not for 12 full rounds though, Castillo did the most and I think he took the win on that. Ricky need to bring out that peformance from deep down inside. The sort that make Floyd kick himself the next day for not working enough in this round, or throwing the right punch in that round. Hatton needs to touch him to the body all night but every now and again touch him to the head. He needs to see where that get him, be it ko or decision. Come hell or high water, Hatton needs to leave it the ring because this sort of fight REALLY defines legacy, I'm talking Duran, Leonard, Ali type legacy. 147 is better for Hatton. Floyds doesn't let his hands go as much at 147 and 154 because they are bigger, stronger, harder hitting and soak it up more. So he pot shots his way to victory. The lower they fight, the faster Floyd is. He'll let his hands go more, pick up points and increase chances of stopping you decisioning with a nice display. At 147 Hatton still gave it the 'let's 'ave it' mentality but he simply ain't huge and he was big mother ****ers. Hatton has the strength, power and even chin/heart of a bigger guy but physically ain't it. He can implement it on a Floyd but not a Collazo. Floyd has sublime skills though...ain't that a *****.
Floyd's pissed. The last person to get Floyd this pissed was Gatti and we saw what happened there..........
An excellent assessment Achilles. The only thing I would add is that hatton will be a nightmare fight for Mayweather whatever the result. Mayweather would get busted up, that's for sure.So would Hatton, BUT the big difference is that Hatton won't care, whereas Mayweather is a *****, albeit a supremely gifted one. Mayweather has all the skills in the world, but Hatton is one tough little MF
yeah cos gatti totally had the tools to fight back !:rofl his only prayer was to over power gayweather and he actually seemed to come in to box him ! i think Hatton can win but ue must dig deep and take the little tosser into the trenches...make it a dirty fight...a brawl...
What are you talking about Hatton being a loud mouth?! Floyd just compared himself to Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali in this interview!!! Floyd is trying to retire after a mere 38 fights when he cant even knock anyone out! He just jabs and runs away, he runs longer distance in the ring than runners do in a cross country race. All he does is run, he cant knock anyone out. He knocked out a dried out Corrales who was so skinny he would blow away int he wind when he fought floyd. Ray Robinson fought over 200 fights in his career and this piece of **** has the sand to compare himself to him after only 38 when he can barely knock anyone out? Ray Robinson fought some of the most bloodiest knock down drag out brawls with Jake LaMotta and Floyd's face still looks like he is in grade school. Floyd Mayweather is a skilled boxer, but he cant take a punch and isnt a true warrior until he has been baptized under fire. If he has the guts, and doesnt retire like a *****, he will fight cotto, shane mosley, and hatton and if he wins those three fights he may be able to call himself a true champ. I hate floyd mayweather.
Well said, i have always thought that Hatton was the type of fighter that PBF feared. Hatton must forget the head and just concentrate on the body until Flyod slows down
You're a ****ing idiot and don't know boxing. PBF can't take a punch? Get the **** outta here. I guess that's why he's never been really hurt in a fight, knocked down in a fight or KOed. PBF's jaw is fine he's taken shots from Zab, Chico, Castillo and Oscar all who puncher harder than Sticky Ricky.:deal Feather-fisted Collzao had Ricky on ***** street, ready to go in that 12th round and Ricky was holding on for dear life. PBF will make Hatton wish he never picked up the sport of boxing when he's given a boxing lesson by the best boxer on the planet.:hi:
It's you again you ****ing twat sorry did i say you were a ****ing twat? i mean you ****ing dumb twat,ricky has never said a bad word about any boxer,what he said about the fairy is true,he hits and runs,no action!!!!
Sure if you haven't seen many of Mayweather's fights you think there's no action and he's always defensive.
Why? Mayweather's hardly the type of fighter you'd **** your pants about facing. Fighters like Foreman, Liston and Tyson might make you crap yourself, not Mayweather, Whitaker and Camacho. :huh
