3. Baldomir , well he was a tough club fighter who beat....Zab and Gatti , hmmmmm is there a pattern here ?
Mayweather didnt dominate Castillo in either fight , well not totally , so that brings me to Ricky Hatton............................................ well he hasnt looked good against 2 of his last 3 oponants , but he is no mug either , i am going to bite the bullet and say Ricky Hatton does bring something to this fight. He has the ability to rough up Floyd and i think has a better chance with Floyd than with say Cotto , Floyd is not a big puncher in a Cotto mode.
Yes Mayweather is lightning fast but to dismiss Hatton completely is a mistake.
Yes i have to favour Mayweather but i am very interested in all your views guys , EVEN THOSE WHO THINK HATTON IS A BUM
I also think anyone who is not a Massive Mayweather fan would love to see someone shut his big mouth
When u look at it even closer u can see Hatton has not done a lot in his whole career, except beat KT.
Dont get me wrong he is a good fighter, but beating Maussa, Collazo, Urango and a shot JLC is no moe impressive than Floyd beating Mitchell, Judah Baldo and DLH.
Oh yes dont get me wrong when i talk about Mayweather wins over Gatti etc im only making the point that those 3 fighters were not greats , and i know Ricky hasnt done anything like Floyd in the win stakes.
But the point im making is Ricky has a chance , it may be say 65%-35% in Floyds favour but im just saying its unwise for people to think Hatton has no chance wot so ever.
This should be a good fight , and i for one will be cheering for Ricky
