See, you're wrong already

 

I was really rooting for Hatton in this fight but after arguing with these delusional England cornflakes Im really gonna stand by PBF to put a bad beating on this guy and send him back to his funny smelling country.

 

My fan status of hatton has certainly dwindled over the last couple of years but he has more than a snowballs chance against Mayweather. Sighting the Collazo performance is problematic because of two reasons, teh first being Collazo's big size advantage over Hatton, which Mayweather won't have, that limited Hatton's ability to outmuscle fighters at 140 and bully them around. Floyd has fought at 130, Collazo has fought above 147.

The second reason is that Collazo is a southpaw, which Floyd isnt, and Hatton has a big problem with them as a rule of thumb. The first time he was knocked down and in trouble was against a southpaw.

Floyd is not a southpaw and will be nowhere near as big or strong as Collazo nor will he carry the same kind of power.

Hatton has superb footwork and is pretty quick of hand and carries good power and his pressure style combined with the wrestling (hate it as i do) give him a live underdogs chance of the upset.

Floyd is not unhittable, he is not unbeatable, I think he takes this by a decision but if Hatton is a snowball in hell then he's one big fecking snowball.

 

Seriously if you've only seen him fight Collazo and Castillo then I'm not surprised you think this.

Go watch the first 5 rounds against Juan Urango and you can see Hatton box, move in and out of range with great footwork and mobility, totally confuse his opponent with a varied arsenal of shots.

Then try and watch him Mike Stewart, Ray Oliveira or Vince Phillips. Those fights were when Hatton was in his mid 20's, just before his peak, and showed how ruthless and merciless he is. It shows how he can just keep adding more and more pressure, unrelenting barrages that just overwhelm his opponents.

Finally watch him fight Kostya Tszyu, see how he uses the clinching and holding to take an exceptionally talented fighter totally out of his comfort zone and out of his rythym. Its not the prettiest win by Hatton, but its against someone with pedigree and class.

After watching those fights you will see that Hatton offers much more than hook n hold, wrestling and a good left-hook to the body. I dont fancy Hatton's chances come Dec. 8th but I'd be surprised if he didn't offer a lot of resistance to Floyd. I reckon he'll shake floyd, rough him up badly, bruise him and cut him, but lose narrowly on points. Whatever happens I think you'll never see Floyd fight someone as dangerous as this again so savour it while you can, coz Floyd's gonna have to be at his brilliant best to overcome Hatton. He cant coast his way past this guy, he has to put it all on the line. For me, thats what makes this fight so interesting.

 

Easy payday this for Hatton

Nice stepping stone on his way to welter domination

Stick your vcash on it

 

Mayweather has been here before...aggresive body punching brawler types.But Hatton has fought no one near as fast and tricky with all the natural talent plus conditioning second to none that Floyd posseses.Floyds bull neck and solid structure help him absorb hard punches.Floyds chin is sound and his midsection is hard as a rock.No way is Ricky going to turn this around with a big punch.And in his quest to wear Floyd down, he'll leave himself haggard.Floyd hs the ability to make his opponents work hard while accomplishing little.At the same time Floyds foes wear themselves out trying to catch him, but just catching punches.
Floyd by UD or late round tko.

 

Take the Jesus Chavez fight and imagine Chavez with about 5x the skill, tenacity, conditioning, and meanness. That's more than a snowball's chance.

 

Dailymotion has the Mike Stewart Fight, the first round of Oliveira Hatton is on Youtube, as is Kostya Tszyu.

Also watch his fight with Eamonn Magee. Magee was a nasty southpaw, and had Hatton is serious trouble in the first 2 rounds, but Hatton adapted and ********* him. Shows a side to Hatton that not many knew he had.
