Duran advises Canelo to maul Mayweather

[Beanflicker]

What, is this a big secret? You think that never crossed anyone else's mind? You think guys like Ricky Hatton didn't have that in mind?

It's easier said than done with great counter punchers. Floyd's not a knockout puncher, but he has enough pop to keep guys honest.

Ricky hatton the wrestler? lol Im sure he had all the plans in the world but he wasn't skilled enough to execute ..

Canelo is light years ahead of Hatton and will do a better job..

You think?

Saul is a legitimate light middle and his size alone gives him a better advantage than it did Hatton.

[Beanflicker]

I'm not denying his size advantage, I'm just puzzled as to why suddenly Saul is a better fighter than Ricky Hatton?

Better fighter has yet to be established, Saul has a long way to go but he has achieved a lot and the potential to do better than Ricky.

Alvarez is a better fighter than Hatton. More tools, more skills.
I made a thread about Alvarez over 3 years ago because I know The Goods when I see it...

Hatton was a good fighter and was in fact The Man at 140, but there's a clear difference in class here between Alvarez and Hatton, just as there was a difference when Hatton fought both Pacquiao and Mayweather and was out-classed by both. joe cortez helped Mayweather, but even without his help, I can't see Hatton winning that one.

[El Kabong]

I always figured Duran would have beaten Floyd senseless for this exact reason. Now can Canelo put this plan into action? I don't think so...I think the best opponent PBF has fought recently was Miguel Cotto and had he fought a fresher Cotto I think Floyd would have been in big trouble. Of course we can all thank Margacheato for keeping that fight from coming to fruition

I really cant see Hatton winning either but there were way to many times Cortez broke up the action for no reason when Hatton was putting on some pressure and Floyd was getting pounded on and Hatton had him on the ropes. No clinch or anything.

That could have made a huge difference in the fight. It definately saved Floyd from taking quite a few shots.

His win over a prime Trout beats Hatton's best win

[Fenster]

Canelo is really nothing like Hatton. One guy starts at a hundred miles an hour the other goes through the gears before going full throttle

Hatton was fighting 2 guys in there, joe cortez played a HUGE part in the way that fight went...
