Is Mayweather-Hatton Another Holmes-Cooney?

[clean]

Is this a fight being hyped up simply by the hope of the challenger knocking off the champion? A few weeks back I had a feeling Hatton would win but I have to be honest, I don't see any way that happens.

Leonard v Duran I is more accurate IMO.

[Bigsexy]

No its not another Cooney/Holmes. Cooney actually had a chance

HAA,Did leonard slug it with Duran out of nessecity or Heart?Dont see Maywither really Having that option........

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Leonard v Duran I is more accurate IMO.

If every slick boxer has his "learning" fight, hasn't FMJ already had his?

What happened in SRL/Duran 2? What happened in PBF/JLC 2?

[THE THIRD MAN]

I think Mayweather will win but do not underestimate Hatton, he will give PBF a good going over before this fight is finished.

[Taeth]

I think Hatton will keep it interesting for the first few rounds while he puts loads of pressure on Mayweather, but because Mayweather is so much faster I think Hatton will have to work double hard just to stay on him, and that, along with sharp counters, will make the end of this look perhaps worse for HAtton than Oscar did in the end against Mayweather. Oscar's overall footspeed is faster than Hatton's, and his handspeed is way faster and the only times he got Mayweather on the ropes is when he threw a whole punch of Jabs in a row or when Mayweather, purposefully went back on the ropes and allowed Oscar to tire himself out.

Sweet Lord I hope Hatton/Mayweather doesn't end up like Holmes/Cooney!!!

Since the post is on the subject. HBO.com/boxing has a GREAT article on how Mayweather vs Hatton is very similar to Rocky Balboa vs Appollo Creed. After reading the article, it gave me a greater sense of the Hatton pulling out the upset IF he sticks to his game plan and does everything he says he can do. CHECK THE ARTICLE OUT!!!

Well there does not seem to be any race war going on.

[Mr140]

Plus i do not think people hate PBF like they hated holmes back then people really disliked that man.

What happened in JCC/ Meldrick Taylor 2?

his handspeed maybe, but at the age he is now there is no way in hell oscars foot movement is as good as hattons, hattons footwork is very under rated he can throw digs from all angles cos of it,

[ono]

Hatton has awesome footwork. And his hands till be quick enough to land punches.

[ICB]

No its nothing like Holmes vs Cooney at all.

I agree with Dan the fight that resembles Mayweather vs Hatton the most is Duran vs Leonard.

No its not another Cooney/Holmes. Cooney actually had a chance

Don't talk nonsense im Mayweather fan and i think Mayweather will win but to say he has no chance is ridiculous.
