Me To LEGION because as much verbage as Ive put In Favor Of Hatton,I Will NEVER here the end of it IF Maywither Wins.Your Right Though,Its been hashed to death. after This Big Weekend,Someone has to pull up that rampant thread and "touch gloves".Later days cheif.
Hatton will win if it doesn't turn into another Collazo affair. He has to be able to land consistently. I have a feeling Hatton is going to knock him out.
Are u kidding? PBF's resume of fighters is far superior to Hattons. U could also argue that Ricky's 2 biggest wins were against fighters with one foot in the grave as u described it.Quote:

Damn bro', I never said Floyd's list of opponents wasn't superior to Hatton's. It is, by far!! I'm just saying give Ricky a little credit for knowingly going in with the p4p #1 and {most likely} getting hammered. Gatti was a puppet on strings, and Baldomir is a slow, cumbersome plodder who eats punches like my mom eats Twinkies. And yes, Ricks 2 best wins were probably against guys past their prime. Will be a nightmare for Hatton come Dec.Quote:

And yeah, Legion beat me too it. Taller isn't 'bigger'... Floyd struggled to get UP to 154...
The numbers are what kills me here.
10,000 closed circuit + a 16,000 live gate & that shit's still counting...somebody's gettin paid like a mutha-fwocka!
Just as many of you sticked with MAB, I will with Hatton.
I'm with Ricky on this one, If i thought logically i could come up with a million reasons he can't win, but he's my favourite fighter for the...well since i first saw him, and thats not gonna change til the day he retires.
Ricky wants it, he's got an army to cheer him on and he's trainin like an animal. C'mon Ricky!
A few things to think about...
De la hoya kept Mayweather at bay with flurries. Oscar's an old man now so he couldnt keep the pressure on him. Hatton will keep the pressure on Mayweather throughout the fight.
The one person that had the most success against Mayweather is Jose Luis Castillo. he kept the pressure on mayweather and gave him alot of problems.
The advantage Hatton has over both De la Hoya and Castillo is speed. Not only will Hatton keep the pressure on Mayweather he will have alot of foot and hand speed to back it up.
Mayweather is a great fighter but a hungry Hatton that has never tasted defeat is nobody to brush off.
Hatton won't be able to get inside if Mayweather uses his jab effectively, which i fully expect him to do. Mayweather will give Hatton a boxing lesson.
Mayweather doesn't really use a jab, except occasionally to the body as he did against Diego Corrales, his primary ammunition is his straight right.Quote:
