Punch stats for Castillio fight say Hatton has chance against Mayweather.

[Cortez The Killer]

Against Castillio Hatton threw 220 punches and landed 81 over 4 rounds and won by KO.

Against Mayweather ODLH threw 587 punches and landed 122 over 12 rounds and lost a split decision.



In his last fight Mayweather came very close to lossing and in some peoples eyes he did lose.

Hatton is a much better pressure fighter than ODLH is and throwes a lot more punches and works the body much better.

A lot of peole have said that Hatton would struggle with Mayweathers movement but I dont think it would be as much of a problem as some think.

Hatton wont have to look to make room for his punches as Mayweather will keep it at a distance.When Mayweather goes to the rope as he has done in his last few fights I think Hatton could do more damage than ODLH and Baldmire did put togther.He wont let Mayweather have his little rests as he normoly does on the ropes.If he goes to the ropes Hatton will make him pay for it.

Also watch for Mayweather bitching and complaining like a girl about being roughed up on the inside.

I am not saying that I think Hatton will definitaly win but I think he has a very good chance.

1) This argument makes no sense.. Who do you think is harder to hit...an inside fighter (castillo) or an elusive defensive fighter (floyd)? Comparing someones ability to hit castillo means nothing on their ability to hit mayweather.

If anything you could make an argument that hatton would connect 50-75% less if fighting mayweather then what he connected on castillo.

2) Floyd won the dlh fight by a landslide...did you even watch it?

3) Who do you think hits harder, Oscar or Hatton?

4) If a fight goes the distance hatton's punch output would decrease sharply in the mid-later rounds.

I think it basically comes down to the referee.....if it's jay Nady, hatton may aswell not bother showing up......if it's Joe Cortez, he has a decent shot.

I agree that the referee would play a huge part in the fight, but I still see mayweather winning no matter what. Some refs would allow hatton to have more success then others.




** Well Taeth I see you beat me to my points, I spent too long typing mine:

Also things you forgot to mention Pork. Dela Hoya was only landing 21% of his punches, and he has much faster hands than Hatton, but not only that but Hatton threw 220 in almost four rounds when Oscar was throwing about 200 every 4 rounds against MAyweather, this is important for three reasons

1. Castillo is much easier to get a high punch count against than against Mayweather who moves
2. Hatton lately tends to throw less as the fight progresses.
3. He wasn't getting hit by heavy rights that made even the iron chined ODLH and Baldomir think twice before just walking in on Mayweather.
