    That's like asking will Hatton hold, grab, push, and wrestle!!!!!! Of course Floyd will, winning a lopsided UD and embarrassing Hatton in the process.

    He'll pick his spots.

    Use movement (or "run") at times, trade at close/mid quarters at other times.

    Unfortunately I think there will be a decent share of holding from both sides.

    Your post has nothing to back it up as logical. If floyd stands in hattons range long enough, his body will get banged up bad. It doesn't matter how elusive your are, or how god your chin is. your body will get hit, and your ribs are liable to crack when hit by a body puncher as viciously effective as the hitman. Floyd will have to fight going backward and counter all night if he wants to win. I think he can and
    will do this, but all this nonsense of him having a field day is just that.
    NONSENSE!

    What will happen:

    The fight will be hyped beyond belief. When the bell rings Floyd will do his usual hit and run away tactic, and once in a while Hatton will grab him but fail to do any real damage (in other words it will be boring). The fight will be a big yawn as Floyd wins by decision and then later whine as usual how the critics aren't giving him the respect he thinks he deserves. Then he will say he's retiring until his next big paycheck. Hatton will most ask for a rematch, and will get one if Floyd makes twice as much money from the first fight.

    Of course he will.

    It's his best way to win. All this 'toe-to-toe' moonshine is a pipe dream.

    i see this fight being a lot like the burton fight. Where burton kept trying to walk floyd down and floyd just stood there picking him off as he came in and using inside angles to beat burton to the punch on the inside.

    I think that floyd will actually beat ricky on the inside as well as on the outside for most of the fight. I hope Ricky is ready for this cause he still have a chance to beat him he just has to be prepared for the fact that for at least the first half of th fight floyd will be beating him everywhere.

    Mayweather has slowed a little; it showed in the De lahoya fight
    Hatton has been more active and that will be an advantage.
    Dancing with the stars is not going to help either.

    Hatton needs to avoid Mayweathers shots as he comes in. Thats the key to the fight. That and the ref!

    If Hatton can cut off the ring he will hurt Mayweather and will I believe go on to win the fight. If however Mayweather can use his movement to full effect Hatton is in for a hard night. I feel Hatton has the abliity to keep Mayweather in his distance and I also do not think Mayweather has shown the same mobility in his last few fights. I do not see a half way house here, this fight will either be a long boring tactical battle or it will be an all out war. I suspect the latter.

    Idiots who claim Floyd runs don't know good defense when thay see it. So shut up and stay off the boards. Floyd may potshot, but he never runs. He slips and slides and counters. Those potshots score points.
