I'll go with Floyd by decision like I usually do. I don't see a stoppage, people repeatedly pick Floyd by stoppage but he just hasn't been getting them lately.

Floyd's walking into the ring with Wayne Newton That's badass.

Two other guys walking in with him, I think from that bullshit Dancing show, can't remember who they were.


Floyd's last three opponents were naturally bigger men with more power than him, so he was extra cautious, just getting the feeling this past week that Floyd might try to make a statement early and take some of the belief away from Hatton. It's getting reallu close now
Hatton's naturally bigger than Floyd too.
Floyd will enter the ring at 147.
Hatton at 152.
I agree with that, but the difference won't be close to the extent Baldomir and ODLH had over him. In the last press conference, Ricky didn't look half as big without his fat suit on. For me it all depends how Hatton has put on the extra pounds, he needs to have done it much more effectively than against Collazo, I'm sure he has, but still might not be enough.
Ricky's best attribute at light welter was his strength and stamina at the weight, he was able to impose his will, when he couldn't he struggled (Urango IMO) but had enough skill to overcome his stronger opponents. His punches must have a profound effect on Mayweahter because he won't outbox him.
Well although I find myself dissing my fav fighter I have to say that the poor performances against Maussa, Collazo and Urnago were all a direct resultant of Rick's irresponsability between fights. For the Collazo fight (out of complacency) he got himself DOWN to 147, rather than doxn to 140 and building himself to 147 as he should have.
For the MAUSSA FIGHT, HE LET THE INSULTS GET TO HIM AND ABANDONED GAMEPLAN AND AGAIN HIS DRINKING AFFLICTED HIM.
aND IN THE uRANGO FIGHT FEEL IT WAS AGAIN HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM KICKING UP AS A RESULT OF ABUSING IT ON HIS TIME OFF.

hOWEVER, i DO FEEL THE uRNAGO FIGHT WAS THE WAKE UP HE NEEDED AS HE FOUND HIMSELF IN WITH A YOUNG FIGHTER WITHOUT HIS TRADEMARK STAMINA AND HE WAS FORCED TO STRUGGLE THROUGH. As i said this was a wake up call and he will have learned from mistakes.
