PBF is gonna keep his left shoulder in front of him the entire fight as he always done so don't look for Hatton to land many right hands. Basically the key for Hatton to be successful is this:
1. Cut the ring off. PBF is confident that he can fight of the ropes, cause well he can, BUT while his head may be moving his body is not so Ricky should take advantage of Floyd's overconfidence on the ropes and bang the body.
2. Don't give Floyd his space. He is uncomfortable fighting in close at a fast pace, so be relentless and keep going forward cutting the ring off, but not chasing him though.
3. Fight rough. Hatton is known for using roughhouse tactics and in order for him to win this fight he should use all the tricks. The same things that worked against Tszyu will work against Mayweather but wont win him the fight if he relies soley on these tactics.
4. Keep a tight defence. If Mayweather wins as people expect it will have a lot to do with Ricky's lack of defence. If he comes straight in against Mayweather he will get picked apart. He needs to move his head. He should study some tapes of Duran and see why defence and offence can work hand in hand.
5. Feint punches from time to time. Especially the right hand to throw the left hook. Mayweather is expecting Hatton to be easy to figure out or maybe he thinks he has already figured him out. Show him something he hasn't seen in the tapes.

Mayweather won his first title from a fighter with an outstanding jab. Genaro Hernandez.

Against a prime Floyd Mayweather the odds are stacked against Hatton once again. PBF is P4P the best fighter in the world.Hatton will be going over to America and probably moving up to 147.
My head says Mayweather will win by a UD but i think Hatton has a chance at causing another big upset (or at least thats what am hoping). With Hatton pressing the fight i dont see Floyd having it all his ownway .Hatton will have to have head movment on the way in other wise he will get hit everytime PBF punches i see Hatton having some success in close to PBF but carnt see him having enough success to win a UD against a better boxer like Mayweather.
Good analysis, i think Hatton will cause Floyd all sorts of problems. Floyd won't knock him out and i do think he will win a decision but Hatton is good and he is tough. I think he would be better in this fight at 140 than 147, still it will at 147lb and Hatton will have to deal with that.
Hatton has the win over KT and that's something Mayweather can never claim to have, on that win alone i give Hatton a chance of an upset.
