To those who believe Hatton will beat Mayweather

Wrong! PBF chose 147 because he's the man now and the champ at 147. Why in the hell should PBF move down to a class he hasn't fought in since 2005? Hatton called him out remember that. PBF dictates the terms not Hatton, just like PBF went up to 154 to challenge Oscar at 154 and fought on his terms Hatton must do the same. I also love how people like to leave out that PBF offered to fight Hatton in 2005 at 140 but was turned down more than once. For the last time it's not PBF's fault the fight didn't happen then. It would have happend there if Hatton wasn't such a *****.:deal If Hatton didn't want to fight he should have kept his ****ing mouth shut.

 

Great insight.:roll:

 

I rewatched Mayweather/Baldomir (or at least parts of it) and I also rewatched Hatton/Collazo. Yes, Ricky will come in more prepared for this fight and lighter, which means he will have more speed, stamina, and snap. But I just don't see any way that he will be able to deal with Mayweather's lateral movement, elusiveness, and quick hands. Unless he works in behind a jab, moves his head coming in, and fights the fight of his life, I think he will struggle greatly. And even if he does fight the fight of his life, Mayweather is still good enough to beat him.

I'm still looking forward to it though - anything can happen in boxing.

 

PBF is a defensive genius, he's hard to hit clean and Hatton will find that out when the two meet.

 

One objective post out of the whole thread aint that bad at all!

Well said :yep

 

I love how you whined like a slapped ***** when DLH demanded PBF fight him at 154 yet here you are using that very scenario to excuse PBF demanding Hatton fight him at 147.

 

I preferred PBF to fight him at 147 but it really didn't matter. I knew it would be better for his legacy if he fought him at the higher weight and there would be no excuses for people who picked Oscar.
Regardless of that PBF still offered Hatton a fight in 2005 at 140 and was turned down more than once.

 

Just because he didn't like what DLH was doing doesn't mean what Floyd is doing is wrong.

Floyd is calling the shots.

Hatton has no excuses, theres no rules that says he has to add the weight for the fight. Having the fight at 147 means nothing but they are fighting for Floyds title and not Hattons title.

 

I am in severe personal confusion over this matchup. I should naturally root for PBF as an American, and because I think he is one of the most gifted boxers in my lifetime (and I'm 56) BUT I can't stand the guy. He is one of several people that I would pay big $$$ to club with a baseball bat. I like Hatton, his fighting style, his personality, BUT I don't think he stands a chance in hell of beating Floyd. None. Zip. Nada. No way. Pressure PBF? He's not strong enough---Floyd did not get pushed around by a MUCH bigger DLH. Out box PBF? Impossible. He rarely gets hit clean. Hatton is not a one punch kind of boxer (with the exception of the Castillo body shot), in other words needs to wear down Floyd with many shots but he just won't be able to land them. However, this is a compelling fight, and I'll watch it. PBF by easy decision....

 

......:nono Floyd Fan....PBF CHOSE 47 because he believes Hatton will have problems there:yep

Look his 47 title could have been on hold and he could have fought at 40 and captured something HE NEVER HAD, like being THE 140 Champ:good

Why must we still debate the brew ha ha at 40?? I mean we've been through it MANY TIMES. TWO WORDS.....FRANK WARREN. What does that really frigging matter...NOW? It wasnt Hattons fault either. It was Floyd who had the now or never attitude as he was moving to 47 and 54 for DLH. This was Floyd's chance to recapture 40 and it was Team Mayweather that wanted 47 for this fight.

Scared??:rofl C'mon partner fear isnt an issue here, ITS COMING DEC 8th. Now, its about who can be the best they can be, and win:happy

Floyds the favorite and SHOULD be able to out point Hatton. BUt reality has a certain way of unveiling the unexpected at times. I'm sure that almost every PBF fan speaking out, is under rating Hatton. Win, lose, Draw, or DIE....he'll make a fight of it.

 

Bull****, you and the rest of the Floyd ***s were whining about the ring size, the weight, the gloves, the purse split, the no room for negotiation issue, etc.

It's only because PBF won that you claim it didn't bother you.

As far as PBF offering Hatton fights back on 2005? Who cares? They're fighting in 3 weeks, what does that have to do with anything?

If PBF wins, he won't be recognised as the linear 140 champ, yet he claims Hatton is 'unfinished business' at 140. :-(

 

Hatton isn't making excuses, neither am I.

Gimp C cried like a ***** about all the terms DLH forced on PBF, but he's using that very scenario to justify PBF demanding Hatton fight him at 147.

Do you understand the concept of irony?

 

Yeah at first I thought it was BS about the ring size and glove type but it's typical of Oscar. But at the end if the day I was alright with it because I knew he would still win anyway. Not to mention I signed up for PBF-Oscar no excuses thread.:deal
You can't simply overlook the fact that PBF offered Hatton a fight at 140 in 2005 and then bring up stuff like this. The fact is PBF tried getting him in the ring at 140 and Hatton declined and robbed PBF of a chance of getting a shot at the linear championship at 140. This fight is unfinished business for PBF who IMO should still be fighting at 140 because he's fighting in a class he shouldn't be in. The very fact he can do it speaks volumes to his greatness.

 

Im going for hatton but deep down im sure Mayweather will probaly be to cute for him.

But i tell you all now,if hatton does win,some of the really ott american posters best leave for good,as there lifes are gonna be hell come the end hehe,maybe try and be a bit humble,for all you know mayweather himself could be bullshiting you all,and knows hes gonna have a hell of a fight on his hands come december.

 

If PBF wants to finish business by fighting Hatton for his 140 linear title, PBF should have the fight at 140.

I think it was a stupid stipulation on his part, because in all reality it will have zero impact on the outcome of the fight, as Hatton will be coming in within his usual 140 range anyway.

All PBF has done is rob himself of a shot at Hatton's 140 linear title.
