    Well yes, most likely. Anybody who thinks otherwise must be halucinating. :D

    It's only logical to think so . . . because Hatton also has speed and power. I don't think PBF will stand his ground and trade.

    In other and or better words, PBF will hit and not be hit, yes.

    He'd be an idiot to stand and trade with Hatton. If he pot shots Hatton as he's coming in, then steps off and backs away, he can win a wide UD. If gets cocky and tires to trade, if he loses concentration, if he gets caught on the ropes or if he's not in good shape he ships punishment, loses rounds and risks getting hurt or even knocked out. Floyd's got a decent chin, but Hatton does have one punch KO power.

    Hatton is too fast moving forward for that to work. He isn't interested in setting his feet to punch. He jumps in while punching. That is not a man that you can back away from to find distance.

    Even if the ref does not tolerate the holding, this fight will be fought very close much of the time. If the ref does tolerate the holding, they will be in a phone booth most of the time. Hatton will make sure of that.

    Tactically speaking he probably should if all he wants to do is win. Hattons best chance of winning is drawing him in to close exchanges and banging him up.

    Hattons style wont allow him to just be potshotted. Floyd is going to have to dig in a little with Hatton and thats why I think this fight will be a real good one. Hatton will make it an exciting fight for sure.

    if he cant faze Hatton with his power expect him to make it another Castillo fight. The first Castillo fight was exciting, he was trading with JLC, but Jose got the best of him. The secong JLC fight he changed his gameplan. I don't think Hatton has enough at 147 to compete with the elite. @140 he has a better chance, but so does PBF.

    So, if he can't faze Hatton, he'll put his running shoes on...smart tactic i guess

    Of all the times to run, why do it against a guy with much less KO power than several of the fighters you've already beat?
