So now according to what I've said... you're still saying he beats Floyd 3 out of 10 times... Is that your Final Answer? Take your time...
I think he has a 1 in 3 chance of winning this fight. Yes. (3 out of 10 is tricky 'cos you need to factor in who has learnt from the previous fights) I'm not sure Mayweathers footwork or punch output are what they were and Hatton is pretty quick on closing the distance. At lot depends on how much the ref lets Hatton rough Mayweather up on the inside. If it's Eddie Cotton (Ndou vs Paulie) then Hatton is ****ed.
That's some severely flawed logic there. A 50/50 fight means both fighters have an equal chance of winning. You would also have to assume that they are at about the same skill level(If one fighter is more skilled than the other than he clearly has a better chance of winning). So saying every fight is 50/50 is like saying every fighter is equal in terms of skill level. This, of course, is an absurd notion. This is not a 50/50 fight. The boxer beats the puncher the majority of the time. Floyd is one of the most, if not the most, gifted boxers out there. Hatton is a puncher and will have to either outwork Floyd, or Knock him out. Floyd's defense and quick, sharp, accurate punches combined with Hatton's lack of a potent jab or defense tips the fight significantly in Floyd's favor. Anything can happen in boxing, but there is a much better chance that Floyd will win this fight.
Alright then... That's your opinion. but remember... if the assigned ref does his job properly, Hatton's in danger of having points deducted and/or possibly being DQed. That was factored into my 10% as well. :thumbsup
How many percent did you factor into getting a strict ref...? BTW Hatton works an opponent inside, nothing wrong with a bit of infighting....
I based mine on said ref simply being competent and doing his job... like everyone else should be basing their chance on.... If the ref were to allow Hatton to do what he did to Tszyu, I'd give Hatton a 25% chance. Meaning he could possibly beat Mayweather 25 out of 100 times. but let's get back to the matter at hand... Fair fight. One on one. Percentages. Give them. :good
Lets not go there eh? Some of the excuses get a bit embarrasing.....you know they made Zoo fight at 2am??:|
I couldn't disagree more. PBF has the edge stylistically and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Hatton needs people that will stand in front of him to be successful. Hatton isn't really a pressure fighter what he does is fall in hold and fight off the clinch. This works well with people who lack footwork or stand their like dumbasses and allow it but PBF has the best footwork in the business, he will use his superior footwork to get out off the way and set up his shots and if need be put a forearm in Hatton's neck to keep him off. Hatton also lacks a jab to keep PBF honest that would make it easier for Hatton to get inside. Hatton's best punch the left hook to the body will be damn near impossible for Hatton land on PBF in the middle of the ring. I also love how you say Hatton took shots from Zoo but PBF has taken shots from a much bigger man and harder puncher Oscar and didn't blink. Ricky was on ***** street from feather-fisted Collazo.:deal You underestimating PBF's chin, strenght and heart will be your downfall. The bigger questions here are as follows: How will he deal with speed he's never seen before? How will he deal with the accuracy and counterpunching? How will he deal with being beaten to the punch? How will he deal with PBF's superior defense? How will he deal with PBF's superior footwork? How will he deal with PBF's superior ring generalship? How will he deal with someone with better stamina? In conclusion, Hatton's somewhat one-dimensional style, lack of jab and outside boxing game will be his demise against the more complete fighter in PBF.
