Hatton is handpicked by PBF... this is blasphemy, but please hear me out.

[gyrokai]

everybody keeps saying PBF has trouble with the jab and that ODL was beating him with. yet if it was so effective why wasn't he able to stick with it. was it because like ODL said it wasn't the night of the Jab or was it because PBF hitting ODL in the face.

Thank You Boxer cc ! The second half, I think Oscar just got tired, as always, that old man. heheh. He just got tired of throwing jabs. He always gets tired, even when he was in his prime. I'm a fan of Oscars... well was, but even I have to admit, the man's stamina is not in question, it's without a doubt horrible for a professional. Oscar stopped the jab and everything, then Mayweather started landing. Thats what I think though.

i do agree that PBF beats hatton fairly easily. my problem is that people were bitchin at PBF when this fight didn't happen before now all of a sudden people are realizing how easy PBF would beat Hatton and are saying PBF is taking an easy fight. i've always said that PBF outbox hatton. i used to be very anti hatton but i've come to like him and respect him as a fighter.

Sorry about that man.
I used to be on the Hatton boat, until I saw Collazo rip him another azzhole. heh
Hatton had no answers for a boxer who backpedaled when he wanted to, I mean no answers whatsoever.
Yes Kostya and Castillo wins were very impressive, but at the same time when is Hatton going to look good against a youngster.
Last I saw he looked good against a "youngan" who was good, it was Michael Stewart, back in 2004. IMO. But let me just finish with, Hatton's no bum, he wins, but he has been managed very well... meaning, he hasn't fought many slickers provided there are not many though. I think Hatton can fight and possibly beat Cotto in fight of the year . (modified the red words)

cotto on the other had boxes better than hatton. the thing with cotto is that he doesn't box well enough to outbox PBF. so if he boxes he'll get outboxed for 12rds and possible tkoed. if cotto tries to brawl he most likely be koed early. we've both seen cotto hurt by guys who were fast them him but seen by many not to be as strong or as hard a puncher. his win over judah definetly makes him a legit challege to PBF.

Cotto won't brawl or box PBF, he'll be the same Cotto he's always been. He's as consistent as it gets. He's keeps up a pace, and systematically breaks the other guy down. He is chinny, but against Floyd who's naturally smaller and not known for his punch... Cotto won't get KO'd. Judah hit Cotto with is best shots and still couldn't finish. Cotto will connect, follow, and cut-off the ring,... it would make for a good fight because it would be a tough night for Floyd eventually.

shane IMO is the biggest threat to PBF. his hand speed and ability to put his shots together could allow him keep PBF on the defense. at the same time PBF is dangerous when he on the ropes. plus shane can turn into a robot at times. shane had his chance to fight PBF but decline. then soon as his cash cow ODL say he fight shane then all of a sudden he wants to get in the mix. that some serious little kid shit.

Shane is bad@ss. He's always given just about everybody a chance to fight him. Always honest. He has to know, personally that he doesn't have much time left... I think he's fought much harder recently.

i personly think margarito (who ) is getting to much praise for beatin cintron (no clue ). he has shown me nothing to warrent him being mention with the other guys.

If he just beat Cintron, that wouldn't be impressive. What's impressive is that out of all the welterweights, he's beaten more, and really hasn't lost at this weight in around a decade ? I don't know, it's pretty long. And during that time, he hasn't been taking on light competition, he has some unknown names that were real fights. He had to do it the hard way, fighting tough but unknown competition. Then after all that people still don't respect him much. Hopefully the results of Williams, or a Cotto fight... win or lose... will make fans realize this guy's dangerous presence. He's style is not pretty, it's not a beauty contest in there, it's the fight business and in this business, guys with will and determination always are a danger to any boxer, flashy, rich, smart, whoever it be.


Honestly, Thanks man, for answering. I think your the first to get what this thread is all about.
Answer back if you want to.
