Floyd Mayweather Ricky Hatton Stream

OK, the time is getting closer when these two go head to head, It feels like yesterday when we were all predicting, what if's etc. No more what if's these guys are going to fight in 3 weeks time.

I would like everyone to take the time to cast their vote and the reasons for their prediction.

Here goes, I will cast the first vote, Hatton on Points. I may get this completley wrong but IF and a BIG IF, if Hatton is allowed to fight his fight, and I don't mean by Mayweather, but the ref then I believe he has a very good chance.

I honestly believe Hatton has the desire, the hunger and the style to beat Mayweather, I can't see him ever stopping Floyd, but I can see him being non-stop in Mayweathers face, chest, body then back upstairs a couple of low blows and really rough Mayweather up.

You have to look into Hatton's eyes and I believe he will do it.

I look back at the first Mayweather v Castillio fight and that was close, very close, as a neutral I could see how Castillio won that fight, I believe Hatton will bring more to the table or ring to beat Mayweather.

It should be a good fight.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER RCKY HATTON STREAM ;D

I'd love Rick to win but reckon he's gonna get hammered.

Floyd by KO

Mayweather by UD not being nasty but i don't really want to give my reason's because i have debated about this and gave my reasons about 100 times hope you understand.

Ditto

No way is Hatton getting stopped.

Have you seen this burning desire that he has at the momment. you can just see the speed and power combined with this motivation to shut floyds mouth and beat him. I know its going to be rickys hardest fight ever, but i believe in ways its floyds hardest one too.

Ricky has got to make sure he can force floyd into making bad mistakes, and i know this is going to be hard, but with a force like ricky hatton coming at you none stop, the gaps will open and ricky can start to work there. the bodywork of ricky will be a good factor in the fight for him, although you all think ricky is no where near as fast as mayweather and this could be true, ricky isnt slow on those feet and he can get in and out pretty fast. He can use this to a good advantage and i believe he is a lot more nimble than Baldomir. So by using this pressure getting in and out, i can actually see Rickys stamina being at his best for this one too. If he can drive floyd back all the time and not let him get into a decent rhythm, he will definatly shake him up early.

I know for a fact floyd isnt going to knock him out, rickys chin is too good for that. His motivation will see him through this one alone, its too high profiled for him to get stopped, this is the big one for him. In 43 fights, hes been down once from a shot which he was off balance, i cant see it happening again though.

I just believe there is something about this fight, floyd is greatly underestimating him, and i dont feel he is taking it too seriously. I couldnt see Ricky doing that dancing thing in the build up to the fight, and i think this shows that floyd doesnt actually care or he isnt taking him seriously at all. This could be the downfall for floyd, because if ricky was so bad, why is he 43-0 ? I know why he is, because hes an elite 2-weight world champion and he shouldnt be underesimated in the slightest.

Im thinking with the factors in Hattons court, hes got a bloody good chance. It will be a very hard fight for him but i hope he can do it.

Hatton UD!

Floyd will win this decisively. I know Rick is a good boxer and has good footwork and quick hands, but Floyd is better in all those departments. Hatton has heart, but so does Floyd or he wouldn't have moved up so many weight classes.
Floyd will let Rick get him to the ropes and open up uppercuts and body shots to Ricky. Rick leaves himself open right up the middle when he is trying to move opponents arms around to sink that hook to the body. No way Floyd lets Ricky get away with that without shooting up the middle and making Ricky tie up. Quick footwork will only get Hatton to punishment faster. Maybe Floyd will have too much respect for Hatton's body attack and make Ricky chase him all night; Floyd will just pot shot him all night. Ricky hasn't been cut for a while, but he hasn't fought Floyd yet either, and unless Ricky can do to Floyd what he did to Castillo, his face will be ruined. He barely squeaked by Collazo, and we all know Collazo ain't no Floyd. Floyd will win by UD at the least, though I think he'll stop Hatton, or the ref will have to stop it because his face will be a mess. Likely Floyd will tap that body alot to, so don't be surprised to see Hatton go to the canvas a couple of times. Everyone talks about how tireless Rick is and what good shape he comes in. Newsflash: Floyd trains harder than anyone, and is a superb athlete, and while Rick is chasing Foyd all night, getting more tired the longer it goes, Floyd will hardly be breathing hard and picking every shot without wasting anything. Rick should have stayed at 140. I'm rooting for Hatton, but I just don't see it. Hopefully he just makes it to the last round. Of course, I thought without a doubt Mosley would stop Cotto, so don't put much stock in what I say ;D

everyone always uses the Castillo fight as the key fight for beating Mayweather but when they had a rematch and Mayweather came prepared he then went on to beat Castillo by many points.

im still taking Hatton to win though.

My mind is saying mayweather on points (thats the only way hes going to win) and my heart says ricky will land a devestating body blow and tear him up with extreme pressure. I went with my heart in the vote because ive seen ricky in training, hes one pound over the welterweight limit as of yesterday and he looks like a human wrecking machine.

Cant see anything other then a Mayweather decision. As soon as i think of Hattons body punches and swarming ability, Mayweather's speed, defence and classy punching just always seems to over shadow that! I do think Hatton could win this fight but dont think he will.

PBF UD!

People bring up the Castillo fight when bashing Mayweather like I'll bring up the Corley fight to bash Cotto.


They've both improved since then. If they stayed the same they would have lost by now right?

floyd mayweather wins UD. no way in hell hatton is getting stopped by mayweather

I would say the most likely outcome is Mayweather by decision although I agree with those that say there is no way that he will KO Ricky. He couldn't KO Judah or Baldomir, yet he's going to KO Hatton? Of course anything can happen, but I doubt it.

Mayweather on points. 117-111. Hatton wins some early rounds but PBF takes control in the second half of the fight.

Hatton by KO.

Mayweather by a wide but hard fought UD. DLH fight proved nothing with regards to how Floyd will handle pressure as Floyd was well aware DLH would fade down the stretch so he allowed DLH to come to him and ware himself down a bit. In this fight i expect Floyd to mix his style up between round by taking the first few on the back foot picking his spots and figuring Hatton out a bit then by about RD 5 to step it up a bit and become more aggressive with Hatton then reverting back to a more technical style down the streach. Hatton is gonna need to wait for Floyd to grow in confidence so he opens up a bit then try n work his body and try n catch him with some big shots.

I Believe Hatton will Break through Here against Maywither.
Hatton will get pot-shots,sharp sufferage and cut by Round 4 as He must make it Ugly,Rugged,and maintain a frenetic torso assualt.Forget the Head Ricky.
From Day one I said It,sounds Cliche But He MUST burrow into Maywithers Chest and body.......Stand on the outside and Hatton gets Hoko'D..... :D
Maywither can not Turn water into wine :angel:.....He Is Mortal He bleeds also.
Its only my opinion AND prediction...Hatton drags maywither into the trenches and cracks short ribs.....Hand speed will suprise and He'll ask questions of Floyd that make Floyd senior blush. Viva Hatton!

right from the opening bell, ricky should slam one south of the border. home run shot. Hatton might be able to make a fight out of it.. if not expect mayweather to take little chance winning easy . sometimes one must play dirty pool :laugh: this is such an occasion.. Just ask JCC how to stop an excessive runner.. He would tell you . hit him low, hard and early.. only once or twice but make it count ! ;D Go Ricky !!!

HEHE,Ha. You Cannot Hit whats not there Tas.
Fouls not necessary.Make It Rough...Not Careless and Dumb.

Remember he is not fighting in manchester now, he may not get away with it like he did against tzsyu.

Mayweather by lopsided points win or late stoppage.

Hatton is going to give it his all but alas,it won't be enough.I think,unlike some,that itll be a tough fight to score based on Ricky's work rate but I think Floyd wins,a close UD or possibly Split.

I am the John Kerry of Boxing Predictions. I will change my mind at least 20 times between now and fight time!?!?! :-\

I most likely think it will be typical Floyd and the first 6 rounds will be close then Mayweather will pull away over the last half, just as he has done in many fights.

BUT,

A) - I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd won early. I still remember Hatton being caught and dropped by a Magee counterpunch. I know he's improved since then but it happened....

B) - It would not be a complete shock if Hatton stopped PBF with a (barrage of) belly shots at ANY time during the fight. Maybe I'm reading too much into the Castillo result but it happened....

C) - I can see Floyd picking off Hatton and cutting him up, knocking him down and winning late on. Punches hurt a lot more when you're walking into them. Floyd could conceivably win almost every round - with knockdowns - before finishing off a spent Hatton sometime after halfway. Corrales was going to take Floyd into the trenches and that may still be his best outing....

D) Hatton storms into Floyd from the first round and puts a beat down on PBF - a la Kostya. Whether Mayweather goes the distance or not won't matter as Rickys' intensity, pressure and under-rated boxing skills causes his opponent to fight against a tide he cannot stop....

I think it's Floyd but would not be surprised by anything in this fight. And thats what makes it interesting for us fight fans :D

Ive voted Hatton KO, Ive never seen Hatton so up for a fight and as in as good shape as he is at the moment he really has the bit between his teeth but he needs to be cus Floyds defence is so slick. I think Billy Graham is the key to the outcome cus he has been a Mayweather fan for years and has watched all his fights so I think he has the knowledge of how to beat Floyd!! People under estimate Hattons boxing skills he is more than just a brawler and I think he will show this on December 8th!!

In his book, he said he knew he'd get away with it because the referee had warned Tszyu twice for low blows just before it. It was a retaliation. No referee in the world will DQ a fighter for 1 low blow after the other guy was just warned for 2. I hate that people bring this up as if it was the reason Hatton won the fight.

I'm a believer. Hatton by KO in the first 30 seconds ;D


















...or maybe around the 10th Round.

Hatton SD

Hatton points!!!

Hatton starts fast and furious...goes to sleep in the middle rounds and then comes storming back!!!

;)

Floyd by lopsided decision. 118-110.

Ricky for first 5 rounds gives Floyd no space and catches Floyd to the body a lot while constantly taking some shots on the way in. Rick gets a cut from Floyds elbow and starts to back off to protect the cut as Floyd tries to worsen it. Floyd outpoints to win rounds 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Ricky comes out for rounds 11 and 12 going all out to win.

Tears from Floyd regardless of who wins ;D
