Cuts and bruises fairly easily
Short arms make Ricky completely reliant on inside work
Very quick with feet, body, and head/shoulders but still a very defensively flawed fighter
Lunges in with punches (against most fighters he can get away with this and actually uses it too his advantage, against Mayweather he will have to find another way in)
Not a big puncher

Floyd Mayweather -
Low work rate at times can negatively affect judge's scoring of round
Allows himself to be bullied on the ropes a little too much at times
Not a big puncher

Floyd, honestly, is one of the most unflawed fighters I've ever seen. He almost literally has no holes in his game. Hatton's a good fighter but I really think that he'll be confused on how to score for the entire fight.
Great post, I agree with most of that.

Rickys weaknesses are much easier to spot than Floyds and I don't think I'd take to task most of what's been said so far. I'd add that a propensity to block with his face and having that left hand too low is a pretty good combination for Floyd scoring with the straight right all night long

Floyds much more interesting to look at I think because the faults aren't as glaring...but I've got to go home now so I'll post later...
