Floyd will be hit...as was apparent in the Judah fight...& he will be hit hard & flush & repeatedly IWO.

Something that I have always said...this weight jumping shat will kill a fighter as small as Floyd. Hatton ballons up close to 180 from what I have heard & most of the time is spent sparring close to that weight.

Mayweather trains down to fighting weight but his speed depends on his size being minimal...watching his last few fights that has become painfully obvious.

It'll be a fight & I will lean towards Floyd...but it aint gonna be a mistmatch...not anymore.

147 & over is a death sentance for me bwoy Floyd.
Wacks...
Was judah able to just land any punches? or were the punches he landed a byproduct of his speed, boxing skill and southpaw stance? There are no mysteries to Hatton. He goes for volume and tries to pin you down to get most of his work done. Dont be suprised if floyd never has both feet on the ground at the same time for more than the microsecond when he plants and counters. Hatton has to fight his game to win a fight. Which why he can look spectacular vs. a guy like Maussa whos awkward but whos game also relies on taking the fight to you. Against Floyd, he'll look like a kid chasing an ice cream truck. Only the ice cream truck doesnt stop to punch you in the face every 5 seconds before speeding off again.

Hatton also looks a little inexperienced, overzealous or both when it comes to judging distance. Dont get me wrong. I like hatton as a fighter. I think hes just got limits, thats all. Hes wont be able to steamroll a guy he cant catch. If walks around and spars at 180 .. hes wont find a fighter as fast as floyd. Not at 180 .. Not even at 147 except for maybe Judah. I dont think Rickys even come close to being hit as fast or from all the angles floyd would hit him from. I also dont think ricky cares or even notices if hes being set up for something or outsmarted. Thats the biggest advantage floyd will have. You can bet he will be setting up Hatton for the easiest fight possible and hatton will never look up to see that hes getting out pointed. Mayweather wont even have to switch straetgies in the middle of the fight.
Look...I'm a Floyd fan...but I'm not a dreamer.

Mayweather can be hit...also...Hatton & Judah are definently different fighters...but Hatton is more effective at what he does than Judah.

We Floyd fans will be surprised...but in the end...it'll be a pleasant one as this should pan out to be a great match.
agreed. this is no mismatch and would be a very competitive fight IMO....

mayweather will take punishment...
