I posted this in another thread but when I read it back I thought it summed up my feelings on the fight so well it deserves it's own thread: I can't see how so many people are predicting PBF to stop Hatton. I can't see the logic behind that at all. Hatton doesn't seem to be cutting as much anymore and he really stood up well to Tszyus shots and he took a lot of shots against Collazo, who while not being known as a puncher, is a very big WW. Also that body shot he got tagged with V Urango was probably harder than the shot he hit Castillo with and he still one that fight. In short it cannot be questioned that he has a good chin. PBF couldn't keep DLH at bay because of his lack of power and I thought DLH was doing really well early on until he tired. Hatton will not tire, and will be more relentless in executing a style that is the perfect antidote to a slick boxer/mover. People seem to think that PBF's defense is too good and he wont even get hit. But Hattons style is hard to defend against as he doesn't really rely on single shots or throw from the outside. Also Hatton is good at feinting to the head and then slamming the body (just ask Castillo) Floyd may be able to sway his head out the way but moving your whole trunk away from a left hook with your ribs name on it is different alltogether. If PBF thinks this fight is as easy as his fans do he is in serious trouble (but I'm sure that despite his trash talk he knows it is a stern test) Not saying Hatton wins, but it is no mismatch. Anyone who says it is either does not know boxing or is trying to score points/troll Hatton fans.
There will be no stoppage here on either side. Maybe a cuts stoppage win for Mayweather. This is most likely a close decision.
Just can't wait for it to be signed so we know when this fight is going to take place. It looks Like Goldenboy are hattons new promoter in the states whilst dennis hobson is the british promoter. No frank warren thank god for that.
That's without doubt the safest bet. If I had to bet my house on this fight it would be PBF on points. But every single fibre of my being wants Hatton KO.
Don;t know about Hatton, but apparently along with gloves, ring size, weight, etc.. PBF also agreed to if he won the fight that Oscar be allowed to promote his next fight (if there were one).
I think almost evrybody, except Mayweather and some of his relatives, would love to see Hatton win by a devestating knockout.Like when the pompous Roy Jones was left stiff and convulsing on the floor.But it is not going to happen boys.Our worst fears will be realized once again.Third world Boy, by a shutout, with Hatton red faced and wondering what the hell happened.
I do believe Floyd can hit, hurt and drop Hatton. He has speed, timing, accuracy, versatility that Tszyu could only dream of. For pure raw power Hattons chin is gold but when Magee and Collazo hurt and dropped him they were not power orientated shots.
Hatton doesn't have a chin of steel folx. It's very possible that Mayweather can KO him. I think the fight maybe stopped late because of cuts. I'm looking for Hattons face to be busted up! :yep :bbb
