Exactly. Hatton will need to take it right to him early. He is going to suffer coming in so he is going to have to mug and maul Mayweather inside and keep it there. He is basically going to have to fight dirty without getting points deducted or DQ'd. If Mayweather is allowed too much space, he will chop up Hatton's face.

He needs to go in there, piss Mayweather off early, get inside and let the punches, elbows and headbutts do their work. It sounds nasty, but it will throw Floyd of his game plan I think. Floyd will be crying foul but for Hatton to have a chance, he cannot let Floyd get comfortable.

Hatton will need to change in this fight quite a bit. Usually, he likes to rip some shots inside, then hold. If he does that against Mayweather, his night will be cut short. He cannot allow the ref to keep breaking them up, or he'll fall victim to Mayweather's speed and power.
