    thats his style. plus hatton will try to impose his will all night. its really not backpedaling it countering with angles. hes the best at it.

    Hell no. One thing you PBF haters have to remember when PBF fights someone closer to his own size he stands his ground alot more look at his fights at 140 and down:deal

    Hatton will probably lose but not becaue Mayweather will stand in front and fight him......like the DeLaHoya vs Mayweather bout all the cards are stacked in favour of the bigger name,but the difference this time is Mayweather is not a frail old man.Dont be surprised if Mayweather picks out Hattons shorts for the fight.

    The real question!!
    Is Mayweather gonna have enough time to get ready for Tyson Gay at the US Olympic trials with all this dancing and boxing.

    Back pedal? Is that what you mean?

    Nah wrong . . . PBF will circle and do side ways movement to avoid Hatton's clinches and create the angles he needs to throw his punches and counters. :yep

    Great observation. Floyd isn't stupid. He's not going stand inside with Ricky if he can't hurt him. Especially considering that he's faster and a better boxer

    floyd is a real smart fighter and he will take the advantages he has in the ring when he figures out what hatton has to offer.....if floyd can take the punches and see them effect hatton he will stand in their but if he feels some pop from hatton he will box from the outside looking for angles.....its not running its called being smart in the ring and taking the advantages you have to come out with a win

    How much do you want to bet... 1 month avatar right here. Floyd will move all night. It would be foolish to stand inside with Hatton. Hatton is the better in fighter. Floyd stayed inside on guys like Gatti and Ndou because he was superior then these guys from that position. Even against crap like Brusseles, Floyd was forced to abandon staying on the inside eventually as it was allowing him to get his punches off.

    Good Post. And we all know that Floyd will not be able to come forward against hatton. He is FAR too strong, and tenacious. Floyd is too smart for that, and will work his gameplan and get the decision.

    PBF is the superior inside fighter IMO, Riclly just holds and hits. He has a very underrated indside boxing game and is way more accurate than Hatton. Not to mention his body work is underrate as well.

    Yes I do but not the whole fight he will do it in spurts just to show Hatton he can have his way with him and show him who's boss in the ring.
