He needs to be able to cut off the ring(although I have a feeling he'll end up following Floyd around) and he needs make angles with his footwork,1 thing he should be good at. When Floyd is doing his shoulder roll,Hatton needs to manuever in order to land the punches. If he's stationary,Floyd will see eveyr punch and roll with it.So yea,he needs to do alot imo.

I can't put a percentage on it!
CC That was the exact sort of post I was thinking when I thought of the thread... I agree and I think most would, Hatton is going to have to do the best of him that we've seen, plus more, plus a fair bit more.. He'll have to surprise everyone... Floyd will also have to be off his game.. As much as that is not possible, Hatton needs to maybe catch him with something early that hurts him like a Castillo body shot. Floyd must be off his game, Hatton must be ONNNN... He needs to be twice as fresh by round 12 than when he starts in round 1.. He needs to fight like every round is the 12 round and he needs a knockout for victory...
The great thing is you know Hatton is a guy that is going to try to find whatever it takes to give it to Floyd no matter how far he falls short... I just hope even in a loss he shows that he was able to stand up to Floyds style and skills and strengths and show signs of a boxer that can keep up with anyone... That's all I hope for from the fight in this case and would be happy with that.
