HATTON to stop mayweather in 9 rounds

[Wacko3205]

the boxing community needs to boot him out, we can't have a load of dance based reasons if he under performs.

Now that's some funny shit right there.

you know it's true

my heart goes to Ricky. my mind..... i still can not think.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Nobody within a miles radius of my house is gonna sleep that night.
I'm goin to shout my lungs out for Rick!

His opinion, entitled to it. I dont agree, not many will, much in the same way that not many will feel the need to take the piss.

Im sorry but his comment is absurd

And saying you new a fighter was all hype at the age of six? Thats not absurd?

I said i disliked Naz at that age and when i grew older and learnt more about sport i disliked him even more and i knew he would lose i remember seeing Kelly vs Naz when i was young and that was the fight imo where Naz showed major flaws and i thought after that when Naz fights elite fighter he will lose big time and yes when i was young i thought Naz was all hype so what ?? can't i have my own opinion if im young whats so absurd about that ?? and wasn't i right and he was exposed by Barrera ??

You were 8 my man Ive got an 8 year old, he's a smart cookie too, he knows who Rey Mysterio is but as of yet he hasnt made any judgements on fighters

Mate when i was younger i used to watch boxing all the time round my friends house and also wrestling i was big fan of wrestling once but i grew out of it.

It would be awesome if Hatton were able to stop Mayweather. Awesome things dont happen all that often though.

I will have my fingers crossed for Ricky though. He will need to let it all hang out in this one.

The fight of a lifetime. Harder than Kostya by a very wide margin.

Merchant said in the commentary to that Chavez-Floyd fight "Chavez is setting the blueprint for bigger stronger guys"

Well it worked for Oscar, Ndou, Castillo rematch didn't it ??

None of those guys are Hatton.

I thought it was an interesting comment because watching that fight again just made me realise Ricky has a MUCH better chance than I thought. And Ive been giving Hatton NO chance at all.

Read my comment again i edited it

Yeah and?

I couldn't give a S*** about Larry Merchant. I used his comment about Chavez success against Mayweather because watching that fight it was a good one where Hatton is concerned. I was thinking along the same lines.

Hatton is bigger and better than Chavez. Hatton will attempt to win in a similar manner. Hatton just might do a lot better than i thought.

Chavez was missing alot of his punches he was throwing about 90+ and 100+ punches a round and was landing very little percentage Mayweather broke up Chavez badly and the question is Hatton as effective as Welterweight ?? in his last fight at Welterweight against Collazo who was not really known fighter at that time Hatton was made to look average his punches didn't seem to have the power like they have at Lightwelterweight and he wasn't able to bully Collazo and also this was the first fast fighter Hatton had fought and Hatton didn't seem to deal with Collazo's speed that well and kept getting caught over and over i think Hatton will win some rounds against Mayweather based on workrate but overall Mayweather will break up Hatton and win UD imo.

I was looking for positives for Hatton from the Chavez fight. And they are there. You keep saying that fight is a guide to the upcoming fight but I can see Hatton watching it and seeing the positives. That's all.

As for Collazo, Hatton had some good excuses for his poor performance, I wouldn't put too much stock in that fight.

And I believe Floyd will win too - by KO/TKO.

I think this will be quite a tough fight for Mayweather based on Hatton's workrate its always hard when a boxer doesn't give you time to think but all im saying is Mayweather has dealt with this before and is an improved fighter i expect Hatton to win rounds but Mayweather is too sharp too quick for Hatton and will win UD imo.

I will have my fingers crossed for Ricky though. He will need to let it all hang out with his wang out in this one.

The fight of a lifetime. Harder than Kostya by a very wide margin.

Well stated...with only one little edit. See above.

If Mayweather comes into this fight not fully focused, he will lose. Over the years I have seen this happen time and time again, boxers fall into other distractions and eventually get their collective a$$es handed to them. Once they become a celebrity, they start forgetting what got them there.

Even with all the natural talent in the world, if your head is not on straight, you will lose to another talented and determined fighter. Ricky is not as talented as Floyd, but he has real talent and he will be determined.

Hatton will have to fight a fight of a life time to beat Floyd.He will have to walk through alot of shots just like he did with KT but PBF is gonna be alot harder to hit.I hope Floyd keeps in that dancing competition cause Hatton will stand much more of a chance if it stops PBF from doing his normal training.

Agreed. If Floyd's not atleast 90%...he's gonna have huge issues.

I'll agree there too. The thing is...Floyd WILL BE the hardest test of Hatton's career...just as Hatton could be the tuffest of Floyd's.

[LeftHookToTheBody]

Yea your right even though Calzaghe hasn't scored a KO since 1997 before he become champion

Calzaghe has 11 knockout wins since winning the title.

No he has had all TKO's in his championship reign not KO's the last time Calzaghe KO someone was in 1997 against Tyler Hughes.

Oh ok I see what you mean now. Hasn't knocked anyone out cold to keep them down a full 10. At any rate, I don't see him KOing or TKOing Kessler either. He can absolutely win, but it will be by decision if he does.

Potentially this fight COULD be an epic.
