I think Floyd wins by 7 rnds to 5. But it will be a close hard fight.

Yes because he was getting hit by hard punches Hatton got wobbled by lighting hitting Collazo at Welterweight and Mayweather hits alot hard than Collazo and is much better boxer Hatton at Welterweight didn't look like he could bully the top boys thats how it looked in Collazo fight.
Mayweather hits alot harder? I beg to differ wheres your proof of this? Old man Shambra Mitchell? But Collzao is a big man nearly 5 ft 10 who walks about around 175 lbs. Mayweather isnt hes naturally a smaller man. Mayweather wont take the sting out of Hatton with his power So Tsyzu couldnt stop him in his tracks with his power but Mayweather will?? Sorry but if you think Mayweather will want to fight Hatton in the pocket i think your totally wrong, Collazo did after first couple of rounds beacuse he was the stronger man, Mayweather will not be stronger than Hatton i put my house on that.
Well he managed to rock Oscar at 154 i tell you what Mayweather has underrated power he may not hit with devasting power but he has the kind of power to make you respect him.

Collazo doesn't have the snap to his punches like Mayweather Collazo has no real power yet he managed to rock Hatton plenty of times not just the 12th.


So Tsyzu couldnt stop him in his tracks with his power but Mayweather will??

I think Mayweather will make Hatton respect his power the fight with Tszyu was at LightWelterweight where he was able to bully Tszyu at Welterweight Hatton doesn't carry same power and he can't bully fighters at higher weights thats impression i got from Collazo fight Hatton's defence was terrible in Collazo fight his chin was right there to be hit all the time just rushing forward with no defence what so ever if Hatton was in Mayweather that night Mayweather would of stopped him and thats another problem Hatton's defence seems a bit leaky and with someone with the timing and speed of Mayweather he will make Hatton pay dearly.
You say Tzysu was 140, but the thing is Ice on fight night v Hatton Tzysu was/will be bigger than Mayweather will be for the Hatton fight. Mayweather will be fighting like a 140lb fighter his weight will be around 147-150 lbs the average weight for a fighter weiging in at 140, Collazo was around 160-165 on fight night, you see thats the difference, Hatton in reality is fighting a 140lb fighter, not a 147lber. Hatton wont have probelems in terms of strenght and power because he is not fighting a bigger/stronger man.
for the common sense.

Mayweather's power will not be the difference in this fight. Its Mayweathers other assets that will need to be utilised.

It must also be remembered that a lot of us had no real idea about Collazo before the fight. We all know Mayweather and what he offers. Hatton will be prepared for this and there will be no room for excuses.

The better fighter will win.

We knew he was light hitter i don't think you or Skel are understanding i didn't say his power will be the difference im saying he has enough power so Hatton will respect his power you think he will be able to go rushing forward with no defence like he did with Collazo and keep taking Mayweather's best shots for 12 rounds ?? all i know is that Mayweather hits harder and is much more sharper puncher than Collazo.
I expect Hatton to be far sharper and fleeter on his feet than against Collazo. Hatton was plodding a little against Collazo and seemed slower than usual.

I expect Hatton to fight a completely different strategic fight than he did against Collazo. Hatton against Collazo was a messy performance and I have no doubt that it was an abberation.

I dont think Mayweather at the higher weights really carries all that much KO power. To say he hits harder than Collazo is inconclusive. I dont think he does at welterweight to be honest. He is faster though and can therefore surprise you. Its Floyds skills and elusiveness that are doing it now.

If Mayweather is to stop Hatton then it will be through gradual accumulation. I dont see it though. Hatton is surprisingly quick himself and it wont be as difficult as some people think for Ricky to get within range and unload.

Could go either way, but Ive gotta go with Ricky here. It needs to be a performance of heart and determination.
