OK, let me start this by stating the fact that I actualy didnt like Hatton but through his last fights kinda learned to atleast admire him even tho I didnt like his style... On the other hand you all no I'm not a huge fan of floyd anymore but I'm no where near hating him. That being said I checked and tried to analyze how this fight could go out and I couldnt see ricky getting the nod in this one... Its not like if I dont want him to win, in fact I dont care who wins but I cant realy I just cant think of a way Ricky could beat floyd, Ricky style could trouble Floyd yes, its true, however Floyd had trouble with castillo when he was at the lower weights, his body since has grew comfortly for 140-147(even if hes a small 147pounder) he can stay in there with opponents a long stronger then him, Hatton while a strong cat is not as strong as guys like DLH or even for that matter Baldomir(hes faster then him and better of course) but Hatton is coming in at junior welterweight, He wont be able to bully floyd in there, in fact I think it may shorten(if this words exist) the fight cause floyd will tag him on his way in and move with angles and tag him, look at the blue print collazo put in there, Floyd is faster, not as strong but more accurate and technicaly a lot better(but hes not a southpaw) ... In the end I realy beleive ricky dont stand a chance in hell against floyd, I mean sometimes u say those things but inside u have something that says, maybe he could pull it out... But in this one I just cant see it... any one think ricky can win this? I would wanna hear what u guys think, I'm not dissing anyone on that I would love to hear a different point of vue and the analys that come with it:good
i definitely give hatton a chance. mayweather's more cautious style as he's gone up the weights, and combined with the fact i think he's a little slower these days, are 2 reasons i think ricky will win a close decision. :bbb bring on december 8th. :deal
In boxing every fighter has a chance, no matter how slim. Floyd would have to have his worst night ever for Hatton to beat him though.
Ive read alot about this and heard people talking obviously. I have a feeling Hatton will pull it off. However unimportant it is to some people, Floyd had said he retired. He seems to have one foot out the door. What I love about boxing is mental aspect of it. Hatton is hungry (no weight jokes intended) I just think Hatton will pull it off for some reason. So much pressure and works the body like Floyd hasn't seen in awhile. Dont sleep on Hatton
i agree what collazo did (at times) is the blueprint. but floyd for a start doesn't throw as many punches as collazo. isn't a southpaw. isn't as big. :hey
your right, but hes a lot smarter then him tho, if collazo would had tried to use more of his streng when hatton got close I think he oculd had got the victory
he's hittable. baldy nailed floyd with good shots at times. obviously so did oscar. as i said, floyd is a little slower these days. :yep hatton has a chance. only a fool completely discounts his chances i think. :bart
Agreed. What I don't get is how some of the people giving Hatton zero chance will be the same ones talking about what a legacy-making win it was for Mayweather if he wins. I don't hate Mayweather, but somehow just saying he's not unbeatable gets construed that way. I'll be rooting for Hatton, and I do think he can pull it off.
well if actualy floyd absolutly anhilates hatton it kinda tell u how good he is( I'm not pointing out this to praise floyd but to make an observation)
Baldo landed 12% of his shots, Oscar landed 21%. Defensively I thought Floyd was brilliant in those fights. Hatton's only chance is to exploit Mayweather's lack of activity
I think mayweather will win easy, just to much skill and he will give Hatton fits with movement and speed.
