HATTON v MAYWEATHER Who Would Win.......

[SweetPea]

That's an interesting point,how many people actually want to see this fight? I'm not sure whether I ifind it exciting or not! I mean boxing fans are fickle,we all say Hatton has looked bad in his last few fights but if he beats JLC well,people will be clamouring to see this again!

Even though I think it will be a lopsided fight, I still would like to see it, because it would be a huge event. Any fight that will generate a lot of buzz and a lot of attention is a good thing for the sport, in my opinion.
Mayweather-Hatton would generate a lot of hype, and lots of casual fans (especially in the UK I'm sure) would tune into see it.
If the fight was in the UK, they could probably sell 50,000 tickets.

That's the thing though dude,you and I BOTH know PBF is not going to UK and Hatton is not that big a draw stateseide for it to be a big fight, is he??

I used to think this way, but I've changed my mind a little. I wouldn't be shocked anymore if Floyd were willing to go to the UK.
Two reasons:
1. We all know Floyd is cocky and confident. He probably thinks that he's so much better than Ricky Hatton that he doesn't even need to worry about Hatton getting hometown scoring from the judges.
2. Floyd is an attention whore. He wants people to notice him and pay attention to him. If this fight were in the UK, it would be a HUGE event, and that would mean more people watching, listening, and paying attention to him.

Hatton is not that big a draw stateseide for it to be a big fight, is he??

Well he's not that big of a draw, but if he could look really impressive against Castillo, then he would win a lot of respect among fans.
Also, I'm sure plenty of UK fans would travel over here for the fight if it were in Vegas.

Interesting thinking but I still don't see the first point being true. Mayweather in the UK would be awesome though! So do you think this fight will come off after Pbf Oscar??

So do you think this fight will come off after Pbf Oscar??

Well, it's really tough to say, because so many different things can happen.

Floyd has to beat Oscar. There's no way Floyd is retiring, I don't care what he says.
Then Hatton has to beat Castillo. That's no easy task.
Also, you've got Cotto-Judah and Williams-Margarito coming up. The winners of those two fights will consider themselves contenders.
And you have Mosley out there.

It could go a lot of different ways. Although I guarantee that if Mayweather fights Hatton, a lot of people will criticize him for ducking the other guys at 147.

Well,would that not be justified? Hatton looked horrible in his first fight at 147,and hypothetically speaking,if his next was against Floyd,why should Floyd not take the flak when there are established guys like Mosley at 147,when there are guys who have looked better at 147 like Cotto and when you have guys who have fought under rated badasses in Margarito.

However,as fLOYD has stated in a clip Danny G showed,hes not interested in fighting the best. Floyd wants $$$ so that would mean Hatton or Msoely. I too find it difficult to envisage Floyd retiring after the Oscar fight,win lose or draw.

Uh.... I think you forgot "Are you frigging kidding me?!?" as a voting option to your question.

Ring size plays a great deal in a match-up like this. as with Dela Hoya.. if Floyd has his way and negotiates a big ring 26-27 foot .. Floyd would likely win... Mayweather is an exceptional fighter in reverse. now put Floyd's ass in a standard 16 footer and Hatton would likely get to him over the course of a match . just my humble opinion

I like Ricky and admire his style....I just cant see anything else other then a wideeee UD for Lil Floyd though.

TO get back to the topic. Mayweather would beat Hatton worse than he beat Baldomir. Hatton is faster than Baldomir, and a better boxer, but he has a worse chin, and has shown worse stamina of late. I see Leonard, Mayweather, Whitaker, Camacho all beating Hatton uglier.

Considering Mayweather couldn't break an egg with a punch how is he going to discourage Hatton so badly over the course of 12 rounds ?

He didn't beat Baldomir he just patted him , Hatton has faster feet better ring craft punches much harder than Baldomir and has a worse chin , how ?

Hatton actually turns up to have a fight he doesn't just do the boxing equivalent of Torvil and Deans 1984 Sarajevo Gold Medal winning effort !!!

Fucking hell Mayweather cant even dent Zab Judah and yet Hatton walks through Kostya Tszyus bombs and your saying he has a worse chin ?

Here's fun , try basing what you write about on fact .

Good lad .

very similar fighter.. hatton is a clincher and pbf is a run and gun.. but if they stood there and throw.. it could go either way..
