Hatton has some duran similarities.
If Floyd has the balls to go toe to toe and stand flat footed with Ricky in any round, you will think the Spirit of Duran lives in Hatton. I hope Floyd fights like a POUND 4 POUND KING and not like the
Worlds Greatest Bicyclist
How did it make you feel to see Cotto moving around and circling against Mosley for the last 3 rounds?
I felt sort of relived because many people had never seen Cotto do this before. You have to go back to one or two of Cotto's very early fights to see him box. I have seen Cotto do many things and I know what he is capable of doing. This is why I laugh when I read people saying that Cotto is one dimensional or that he is too slow. I have studied Cotto very thoroughly. He showed Shane that he is not the only one who can bounce on his feet and get on his bike. All fighters have bikes. Cotto's bike is rusted if you ask me but it still works. If Cotto did nothing more than get on his bike, I would not be a fan of his.
This is a good answer. I have been VERY impressed with Cotto's boxing ability in recent fights, especially in terms of his jab, which has become a great weapon.
I just wonder... if Floyd were to stand in the center of the ring for 8 or 9 rounds against Hatton, and then dance for the final 3 rounds to preserve a win on the scorecards, would you give him the same amount of respect?
Re: As I watch Duran/Leonard 1, I have to wonder what will we get on Dec 8th.
I don't think it'll be like Duran Leonard 1 for a number of reasons. The 2 main ones:Duran got into SRL head and made him fight his fight. Second,Duran had the power to hurt Ray with his punches. I don't think Hatton can do either to Floyd and Floyd is better defensively than Ray Leonard and Hatton is not as good offensively as Duran.

I wonder what kind of fight we shall see on Dec 8th. Hatton/Mayweather Jr.
I would love to see a war like Duran/Leonard 1., but... I have a very strong feeling
that Floyd will run like Leonard did in Duran/Leonard 2. (I love Ray Leonard but he ran like a biatch against Duran in the second fight)
If Floyd does nothing more than run for 12 rounds, this will show what a heartless coward Floyd is. It will also show us maybe how one dimensional Floyd also is. It's no secret that Hatton can be cut and bruised something easy, I just hope people don't confuse this with anything that Floyd can actually do. Hatton is begining to remind me of Gatti in the facial bruises and cut dept.
I hope Hatton and the preacher man have a plan b and c if Floyd decides to run for 12.
I know I am sort of hating on Floyd but hey, what else is new.
Remember this before you attack me verbally PBF fans. I have not attacked any of you. I am talking about the fight and fighters so don't confuse the two because when you attack me for dissing PBF, it makes it look as though PBF is doing some of you :o If you attack me, I will attack you back but don't run to Saddo or Wacko if you started it. People always start shiet with me and then they get their little feelings hurt because they made it personal and the shiet just got too deep. Stick to the topic with out insulting each other and all is well. :-*
Internet warrior bullshit. Take a chill pill. :sadclick:

I'va always thought the "Power Punches" stats from that fight were very misleading.
A lot of Castillo's "power punches" were light right hands that he would tap on Mayweather's side when they were in a clinch. Basically, if they got in a clinch and Castillo's left arm was tied up, he would hit Floyd with his free right hand.
That's completely legal, and it should count as a landed punch, but it wasn't really a "power punch," in fact those punches were thrown with much less force than a clean jab.
That's why I don't like when people sometimes put so much more weight on power punch stats than jab stats, because all power punch means is a punch that isn't a jab, it doesn't mean it's actually thrown with power. An authorative clean jab does more damage than a light "power punch."
I thought Mayweather-Castillo I was a draw, for what it's worth.
