I respectfully disagree. I think that Hatton has yet to take the number of punches he will see on 12/8. But we'll just watch and see.
mayweather hit zab all night and didnt ko him, and hatton has alot better chin...

have you seen the kosta-hatton fight... and kosta-zab fight... and may-zab..

if hatton took kosta punches he should walk through mayweathers..

its crazy to me people uses the collazo fight to describe hatton but the only fighter that both of them fought, castillo, gets no mention... obviously castillo was younger and fresher against Floyd but it is still a fact that hatton destroyed the man that gave floyd his hardest fight.... but i dont think that means much.... but i am surprised it isnt brought up more..
I think its crazy to think Hatton will just walk through Floyds punches. He may not have earnie shavers power, but name one of his 38 opponents hwo have just walked thru his punches? He throws a stiff straight right, and fast counters that are hard to push forward thru. If HAtton thinks he can just walk thru PBF's punches he will be commting boxing suicide and will be stopped late on.

As for Castillo, PBF fought him at his best weight(135) and at his prime. And Floyd completely outboxed a prime Castillo in the rematch. Hatton fought JLC when he was obviously past his best and what many would call shot, he had obviously not trained hard(could hardly make weight) and fought with none of his former heart cos he wasnt getting paid fuck all.
If u bring up the Castillo fight i'll bring up the collazo v hatton fight, which many thought Collazo won. He is the closest thing in terms of styles(altho southpaw) that Ricky has faced and Hitman had all sorts of trouble. Remember Collazo is only half the fighter Floyd is, and doesnt hit as hard yet did Hatton walk thru his punches?

But in reality past opponents wont mean shit when the fight starts, just who is the better fighter on the night.
