The key to Mayweather/Hatton

That's fine, but Mayweather isn't Tszyu and you said Mayweather is only undefeated because the pressure fighters he faced gassed out which isn't true.

 

I admit that i am more of an expert on Ricky but the close fights that i have seen mayweather in were the JLC,ODLH fights,both pressured him,JLC might of even got the win on another night and if Oscar was a bit fitter on the night he would of won,hell that fight was close anyway.

 

Hatton took one shot at a time and with a flat footed fighter where hatton could just take a step back if he got rocked and tsyu never pursued him as he was tired as **** from round 8. Floyd does not have stamina problems and is smarter then tsyu or hatton in the ring. He will force hatton to box and if hatton comes in chasing with all this energy and being relentless as REG said He will get hit more and NEVER get in enough of his shots and by the later rounds he will wear down. Remember floyd goes to the body ..a whole lot...lol He will break hatton down and all the destiny and all this other garbage. Hattons only advantage in this fight is...I got to think about it. I dont see any that will win him the fight. Pressuring floyd means nothing. He has never faded and never ever buckled under any pressure.

 

Yeah comparing hatton to ODH who is a bigger puncher then ricky in any sense and he could not hurt floyd though landing clean and flush a few times and ODH has a better jab and defense then hatton. I seen hatton jump in the air and cling for mercy when he was hit himself to the body clean by castillo and urango. Lets see how much energy he has when floyd jabs and throws that lead right to the gut of ricky.

 

I said floyd was fav,i just think a few people will be suprised on Dec 8,we are talking about one tough fighter who i have all the faith in.Its just my oppinion,alot of Mayweather fans on here have never seen him live,i have been to 7 Hatton fights and i cant explain in words wot the atmosphere and energy is like and it dose fuel him,there will be over half the crowd that are brits and he wont let them down! I hope,lol.

 

affective pressure.....this means he will have to throw punches comming in...not really his forte.....the man cant box on the outside man or in the middle of the ring at a distance he makes his money on the inside something PBF just wont allow....i cant believe you people actually think Hattons speed and footwork will come to close enough to corner PBF...not gonna happen.....PBF has seen good affective pressure in Castillo...TWICE he won.....Hatton has NEVER seen what PBF brings to the table....NEVER....he thinks he knows how fast PBF is and how good he is...wait till he really feels it....im telling you Hattons timing will be completely off making him look very bad.....especially since PBF wont be in front of him like all the fights Hatton has been in.

 

Did he win the first JLC fight? on paper yes but others think not.

 

I agree, but Floyd doesn't appear to have any quit in him was all I was saying.

 

well Hatton has to is Pressure,pressure,pressure,hug,hug,hug and throw a headbutt,elbows cuple of lowblows.:yep :smoke

 

If Jake La Motta, who was crude when compared to the more educated pressure of Hatton, can score a couple of wins against the greatest fighter to have ever laced them up then Hatton stands at least as good a chance of beating Mayweather.

There are very feasible scenarios that lead to a Hatton victory, most notably the one that sees Hatton completely shutting the ring off and keeping his head on Mayweather’s chest whilst relentlessly hammering away in a very rough and dirty close-quarters fight.

Remember, Floyd will need to keep Hatton at distance to win this fight as easily as many of you are predicting and that is something that 43 men have failed to do.

I do still favour Floyd in this one and believe that his speed and accuracy will be too much for the Manchester man, but one would be foolish to write Hatton off.

 

If you think he's going to just "walk through it" see the Gatti fight. Everyone talks like they knew Gatti was finished and not a good opponent NOW, but back then all you heard was "Floyd can't hurt Gatti" and that Gatti had tasted a lot more potent power than what Floyd brought to the table, which was true... however, Floyd has unbelievable punch accuracy and timing that makes his limited power alot more effective than some guys with more physical strength than him.

I hope Hatton is thankfull to not have you in his corner deciding strategy. Just "walking through it" is what will have him not answering the bell by about the 9th.

 

-1,000,000 points for mentioning Hatton in the same sentence as La Motta. The dude was never knocked down... Hatton was dropped by McGee of all people, and is quoted as saying Collazo had "heavy hands" (one of the lightest hitters that's managed to capture a title at 147 in the last several years, right there with Corey Spinks).

 

-100,000,000 points for not understanding the basic underlining theory and choosing instead to concentrate on irrelevant side issues. Stylistically the analogy is flawless, this fight will be a fine example of boxer vs. brawler as was La Motta vs. Ray Robinson.

And for the record, Magee was, if nothing else, a huge puncher.

 

It worked just fine against Zoo who hit Hatton cleanly on the chin plenty, Kostya was actually ahead on a few cards at the time of the TKO.
