zab took his foot off the pedal way too early and allowed floyd to make adjustments and thus have his own way....hatton is just gonna keep on coming and he wont stop throwing...

floyd is a great fighter, but he wont be able to evade hatton forever, if hatton doesnt cut too much (a big if) then he can take floyd to the wire and inflict punishment we've never seen floyd take before...hatton could very well win it....

PBF is no superman....
I think the speed difference between Floyd and Hatton is what it'll mainly come down to.
How is Ricky gonna deal with someone who doesn't stand in front of him all night like Tszyu did?
Zab's speed was the main thing that gave Floyd problems early on Saturday.
It wasn't Zab's relenting pressure or anything.
Zab showed great quickness early on.
Hatton doesn't come close to that kind of speed.

In all fairness, you could also say that Floyd's style is all wrong for Hatton as well.
Floyd didn't look spectacular early on with Zab doing work in the early rounds.
One could counter that by saying Hatton didn't look spectacular against Maussa early on with Maussa's movement.
But both guys buckled down and showed why they're the best men in the ring in their fights.

This fight is gonna be the big friggin' one.
But I truly believe with all nine of my hearts that it'll come down to Floyd's superior speed being the factor for a UD Floyd win.
