    a) Floyd will school Hatton like he did with Corrales or Gatti.

    b) It will be competitive like DLH-PBF, and end with a close decision.

    Floyd can fight very well going backwards. Unless if Hatton can really make good on his promises, I see it as 8-4 or 9-3 Mayweather. But I wish the best of luck to Ricky.

    Will it be a marathon for Floyd? Or will it be a clinching festival for Ricky? Being a boxing fan, I hope that they will fight toe-to-toe... to get my rediculous PPV moneys worth!:( :( :(

    I honestly think Floyd stops Hatton in the 11th round.

    Could happen.But I think it is more likely a lopsided decision for Floyd.

    Floyd has a killer instinct with guys who lack defense or a plan B or C. Hatton has one game plan that is very effective and plays to his advantage b/c of how physically strong he is and he is pretty quick for physical fighter. The thing is with Floyd is that WHATEVER Hatton does or everything he does in the ring. Floyd has an answer for without even trying hard. Just Floyds style of twisting and taking half steps back and firing his right hand over hattons multiple missing left hooks that he can only land on a stationary target. If Hatton pressures mayweather like he says he will he will get beat up and stopped a lot earlier then if he paced himself to get slowly punished. Hatton would only be pressuring by coming forward with no lead off punches. Hatton is open after he throws either hand and has a tendency to let his guard down once he lets 2-3 left hooks off and the other guys he fought are NOT counter punchers but Collazo who countered the all **** out of him.

    You cannot have a lazy defense with Mayweather. You cannot rely on holding him to take breaks or avoid punches. Last and not least, you cannot fight mayweather standing str8 up with your chin not tucked in as Hatton comes in with a str8 posture and does not get low as fighters like Castillo even ODH used that technique to get inside. Jab and go low and come up with hooks.

    The only fighter that beats PBF is one with a strong, consistent jab, and decent footwork.

    That means Hatton is toast....

    if kosty tszyu was uncapable stopping hatton, there's no way floyd mayweather will do it. you all talk how great mayweather is, prime for prime kosty tszyu would kill mayweather, same way he destroyed ceasar chavez.

    mayweather is for a rude awakening when he fights on december 8 against hatton. Ricky Hatton is going to destroy Mayweather same way he destroyed the legend Kostya Tszyu.
