Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
Can Ricky beat PBF??? YES but will he do it??? NO Ricky is not ready yet for that fight and if fight happen soon IMO PBF will win easy 12 round UD. Hatton fighting in 147 because of his style will give him a lot problems like we see at Collazo fight,he will better do to stay at 140 IMO thats the right weight for Hitman. There is perfect example with Oscar going to middleweight fighting Sturm,not doing good IMO he lost to Sturm and then taking on B-HOP and getting TKO. Ricky is good fighter,great at 140 and I give him credit and respect,but think PBF is better at 147 and he is P4P king for now,lets see what is his next fight and then we can judge him and argue about that.

Understand what you are saying but even though Ricky is 41-0 if he dosent get another big time win under his belt besides Tszyu we would have to question if Ricky has peaked already....I was never buying into Hatton but contrary to most I respected his heart and determination against Collazzo even though he got rocked a few times I still think Ricky lost but showed alot of heart but a win is a win either way!!!!
I believe that Floyd would do more damage to HAtton based on the fact that Floyd is a more accurate Boxer who's punches are sharp and crisper than Collazzo Floyd is also quicker and smarter I think Ricky needs to progressively step up in comp and maybe see this showdown later next year...If it was to take place in the next 6 mo's it wouldnt exactly be a Massacre like Gatti but I dont see Ricky coming close Floyd will tear his face apart

Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
8) To get started just Corrales and Castillo is saying something alone! Infact threr first fight I thought Castillo beat Floyd but the rematch didn't even look like the same Mayweather! He looked like he rose up a couple levels in the game he can adjust well and hes still real young and hasn't been touched yet at all really . Hatton get racked everytime he fights he wont even be able to get close to Mayweather but a couple times unless Floyd wants to let him in to stun him some. Bad pick for Hatton really! 8)

Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
yea ok jt good point we will leave it at that then

Floyd's first win over Castillo was a gift; I think he lost that fight.
Regarding Hitman against PBF - the fight could go either way for many points raised in this thread. I'd love to see PBF school Hatton because it would be a beautiful demonstration. But Hatton has (at the lower weight) loads of energy, takes punches well, and doesn't leave the opponent lots of room. Floyd would have to spend effort to control the fight.
Would be a great one to see.

Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
People can argue all night on who has fought the better opposition, but the either way the fact still remains that not only is Mayweather P4P #1, he is also 10x more talented than Hatton can ever be!
I don't believe that Hatton would last all 12 rounds nor would he be a very competitive fight for PBF since Hatton's style is tailor made for PBF! PBF TKO/KO stoppage/cuts
-
Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
Mayweather's fought way better compition, Hatton fought nobodies & overmatched opponents up until facing Tszyu. It would be one of Floyds easiest fights.

I agree, eveyone in this post must be smoking crack, hatton crack!! Ricky Hatton is a brawler not a boxer. His wins are due to home cooking. The Kostya Tsyzu fight was a prime example of home cooking. The referee allowed Hatton to hit and hold, basically rape Kostya and the only thing that hurt Kostya was fatigue and not punches. Kostya was tired from literally carrying Hatton every round. I don't recall any punches landing without Hatton actually holding him. It looked like a MMA match. All they needed was the take down because Hatton was sure allowed to grapple. On top of allowing Hatton rape Kostya, Kostya was 31 or 32 at the time. Maybe even older.
Hatton against Mayweather would be a major mismatch. I can see the Gotti vs Mayweather fight all over again. Sorry for all you Hatton lovers but you need to stop kissing his ass and realize he is just a third rate fighter with an overblown record.

Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
Hatton is not on Mayweather's level period, thats why he is fighting competition like Oktay Urkal and why he has trouble beating competition like Luis Collazo who is an average fighter who they tried to boost up to pretend he was something more than he was to boost ticket sales. Collazo shouldn't even be champion, he lost that fight to Jose Rivera.

Sure mate.
Thats why Tszyu (spelt correctly please note) took a hold of the mic and conceded that Hatton beat him fair and square and congratulated him and offered him his phone number?
Or did he state that Hatton held him and the ref let him get away with it? Zzzzz
Go buy a clue.

Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
Hatton beat an old Tszyu, who had been realitively inactive, who had been at the top for a long time & IMO didn't have the drive their anymore. If hAtton could pull of the impossible & defeat a prime Mayweather I'd give him his props. Hell if he could beat a top guy convincingly I'd give him his props. & no I'd don't concider Maussa a top guy, Cotto had already schooled him long before Hatton stepped up.

Thank you professor for correcting my spelling. Of course "TSZYU" took a hold of the mic and conceded. What else can he do? He wanted to leave the country safely. People get killed in soccer/futbol games for missing a goal. The more Kostya TSZYU was willing to concede.

Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
I don't think there can be any comparisons over who has fought the better competition,Floyd wins hands down. I want to see more of Hatton though,I mean after fighting Tszyu, I thought he would be unstoppable but Collazo hurt him bad and after saying he would give him a rematch,he is fighting Urkal. I want to see Ricky prove once again that he is one of the best and until then,he is pretty low in the top 10 P4P in my opinion.

:laugh: This conversation is so over your head, you actually believe you said something that makes sense. How long did it take you to figure out what I said, Sherlock? You need to get your head out of Hatton's ass for at least a second so that the world wont pass you by. Your point that he conceded on the mic did not take away from the actual fight. What did you watch, the news?

Re: Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd Mayweather
They didnt have the news on in the MEN arena the night i watched the Tszyu fight.
Your exactly what i thought - a TV fight fan.
Go surf some more websites and regurgitate other's opinions on Hatton - or break the rule of a lifetime and come up with your own opinion.

So you admit you are a homer. You must be one of the reason why Tszyu conceded. Were you holding a gun to his head?

You don't beat the most schooled boxer in the game by just 'jumping all over him' and hoping for the best, Mayweather's talented enough to simply step back and throw a lead right at the same time and never miss - and Ricky's under-estimating Mayweather's punch if he thinks Mayweather 'wouldn't be able to keep him off him', with Ricky just steaming in (as he says he'd do) he'd quite simply be giving Mayweather double velocity to his shots! Unless Ricky uses some sort of method, instead of madness, he'd be picked off and cut up and lose every round until the referee waves it off. Mayweather is a cleaner puncher than anything Hatton has known, and although Hatton probably closes the distance quicker than anybody Mayweather has fought - Mayweather can get his shots off quicker than anything Hatton has seen.
First and foremost, Hatton needs to lose some muscle. Kayes put 7lbs of muscle onto Ricky's frame in just six weeks for the Collazo fight, and it showed as Ricky appeared extremely slow (compared to his usual sharper, faster self) and unflexible on the night.. weighing 158 on a 5ft6 frame is quite hideous to be honest. If Mayweather won't move back down to 140, then Ricky should simply prepare for a 140 fight (even if he's taking the fight at 'welterweight') because he's naturally bigger than Mayweather anyway.
To beat Floyd Mayweather, you need to force him to make mistakes (because he won't make mistakes on his own), which is easier said than done. To force him to make mistakes, you need to use tactical maneuvering. Ricky Hatton is the one fighter who has the tools to make Mayweather make mistakes. Firstly, he needs to box his way in. Hatton has a quick, darting jab in his toolbox that looks difficult to counter with the right hand, he doubles and triples it into your face and it leaves him in position to get his shots off and his opponent in position to be hit. As or after Ricky's got his shots off, he'd need to be moving out of punching range, and then out-thinking Mayweather (which only Ricky Hatton can do, he has such a good boxing brain between his ears - if only he'd believe in himself).
He can give Mayweather angles, he can give him feints, he's the one guy who can throw Mayweather off. He knows how stay in range to draw leads, but while being in position to become slightly out of range with just one shift of the feet. Mayweather is a counter-puncher, and Hatton is the guy who can make him lead. And I believe Hatton is actually at his best when he's counter-punching -
working off opponents leads and threading punches through small gaps. He can punch when Mayweather punches by rolling with Mayweather's punches while letting his own shots go at the same time. Hatton can do this. But he can't roll with any shots or counter anything if he's just going 'jump all over him' with no pre-thought.
Ricky is quick-witted, as well as quick-footed and quick-handed, and much cuter than he's ever been given credit for. And he has a large variety of shots to keep Mayweather thinking, and the more you make Mayweather think the more likely it is that he's going to slip up, and if he slips up then Ricky Hatton is the fighter to make him pay, quite honestly.
Mayweather can roll his shoulders all he likes, but that's not going to avoid a left hook placed just behind the elbow. Hatton also knows how to step around and shift his position to open Mayweather up and be able to shoot a shot to the solar plexus (slowing Mayweather down for a few rounds).
Ricky Hatton's 'boxing' ability is under-estimated. We've seen his 'boxing' skills in the gym often enough and back in the amateurs, but believe me we have never seen the best of Ricky Hatton's 'boxing' ability in professional boxing. Hatton simply hasn't needed to use his 'boxing' skills, because he's always been able to overwhelm opponents. Against Mayweather, though, he'd need to use all his skill if he wants to stand much chance of winning the thing, and then with his more notable advantages (eg strength, power, stamina, workrate, chin, infighting, pressure) on top of that it would = victory! But he needs to live with Mayweather in terms of boxing (and he can, trust me) before he can think about bringing out his main advantages (when Mayweather is more frustrated), he can't try to throw Mayweather off by 'jumping all over him' from the start because it will not work IMO, he needs to try to throw Mayweather off with tactical maneuvering before possibly jumping on him later in the fight.
Anybody doubting Ricky's 'boxing' skills should consider that he was actually the best on the planet in his category in the amateurs. For a kid with short arms, that alone proves he must of been able to box abit!
Watch Hatton against Thaxton, Magee and Tackie and you see such rythm and balance. I know Thaxton, Magee and Tackie aren't in Mayweather's league, but then again who is? You can show skill on a punching bag though, and Hatton has certainly showed flashes of his class in the pro ranks. Watch the Pendleton fight closely and you see Hatton doing a lot of side-stepping to load up his punches. The Oliveira fight shows accurate output from all sides, and saw Hatton reduce a guy who had set CompuBox records with ammounts of punches he throws to barely being able to get any shots off - Hatton thoroughly dominated that fight without even needing to throw one jab!
impressive post mate CC
mayweather still beats hatton though
