Tell me again Why Hatton Would Beat Floyd????

[Unknowndonor]

stop F****** talking shite. castillo is just like hatton. have you even seen em both fight mate? hatton is a lot quicker on his feet and doesnt just rely on fighting on the inside the way castillo does. they are tottaly different fighters and you are a fadge.

Your just mad because I'm right. And I'm sure I've seen all three fighters more than you have obviously. Castillo and Hatton fight the same way, and if you can't see that, then you're blind my man. Castillo can box better than Hatton on the outside too. I'd hope you would get off Hatton jock and see some real boxing truth,

[jbirdy]

i'm just mad cos your talking shite mate. your comparing two fighters and trying to make out that they are exactly the same just cos they are both aggressive. and your right about what exactly chief? about hatton and castillo being the same? or about mayweather being better at fighting on the inside than hatton? i dunno, i reckon i'm right about you being a fadge.

How are Hatton and Castillo different? Just because Hatton has quicker feet doesnt mean they don't fight the same kind of fight. That's not a good argument. Also, Floyd fought Castillo alot on the fight with Castillo on the inside and won twice. And you already stated that Castillo is an inside fighter, one of the best. I know floyd could hang with Hatton on the inside. Just because a bunch of bums, and an old man have broken to Hatton's pressure doesn't mean a class A fighter will. That's another bad argument. I never said Hatton and Castillo are the same anyway, I said they fight the same. They both pressure and work the body, trying to break down their opponents. That sounds alot alike. And me being a fadge? What's that? If you are referring to a homosexual slur, you're wrong. I'm definately sure that I've been with more women than you.

Are you 2 from Manchester? Or are you guys that close?

[Unknowndonor]

I hope you guys aren't taking anything personal. I agree to disagree about Hatton and floyd.

[jbirdy]

oh my god you sound like such a wanker. you've been with more women than me, you are deffinately sure, and you have seen more of hatton, mayweather and castillo than me. you are deffinately sure. mate your probably just a computer geek who spends all day on this site. shouldnt you be out sleeping with some women mate. that makes me giggle. and a fadge is just something i call people who go around saying that they have deffinetely been with more women than people they dont even know.

I actually don't even use computers. My friend told me about this site awhile ago. About the women, oh well, just something else to argue about. But, I got to say that fadge is a lame putdown. I'm not sure what you know about the fight game. I know I've seen about 25 years of live boxing, and have at least 500 to 1000 hours of fights recorded dating back to early 20s. What you know is what you know my man. I just know that Floyd will prevail.

[Unknowndonor]

Oh yea. to jbirdy for the argument. I've been up drinking all night, and it was fun. Nothing personal.

[El Kabong]

Well Hatton has power, lets his hands go, and can apply constant pressure for 12 rounds.

That's why I give him a good chance, plus he could take Kostya's power so Floyd's shouldn't be a problem even though it's more speed based power.

[AC-Cobra]

Not to take sides, but comparing Hatton to Castillo is like saying Floyd fights the same as Zab Judah, its that illogical.

I honestly cant decide between the two fighters and screw it, I'm in the mood, so lets break this down point for point, Dr. J style.

Power: Edge - Ricky

Ricky is naturally bigger than Floyd, but that doesnt mean he hits harder automatically. It does however give him a slight advantage. Neither fighter has awe inspiring power. Ricky can produce one shot power as was shown with his beautiful knock out of Maussa most recently. Both fighters can wear down opponents though, jus look at the Tsuyu and Gatti fights.

Defense: Major Edge - Floyd

Floyd is one of the best defensive fighters in the game today. In fact, I would only rank Winky higher. Floyd gives boxing lessons to most opponents and against orthodox fighters, well he barely gets hit. Ricky however, has a defense which is neither shocking or awe inspiring - its serviceable. Rickys major mode of his defense is his offense. With a raging "bull in a china shop" kind of guy coming at you relentlessly for 12 rounds and on top of you the whole way, its pretty hard to mount an offense.

Chin: Slight Edge - Ricky

Both fighters have been questioned for their chins. Before Ricky fought Tsuyu he was actually accused by many of having a "glass chin". Warring with one of the biggest punchers in the game and not wobbling, thatwill dispel those rumours. Floyd was rocked against Zab, and very slightly rocked by Sharmba Mitchell. Maybe its because Floyd is naturally so small or maybe its because he just aint used to getting tagged either way, there are still questions about Floyds chin, none left about Ricky's

Cuts/Swelling: Major Edge - Floyd

Rickys main weakness. His creamy white babyface skin gets cut up easier than most. In fact, this is the most likely way Floyd wins if he does.

Hand Speed: Edge - Floyd

Floyd is widely recognised as one of the fastest guys around, but Ricky's no slouch. Also, we still arent sure Floyd hasnt slowed down with the added weight. However, lets give him the benefit of the doubt as he hasnt really had much chance to show his skills at his new weights.

Toughness: Major Edge - Ricky

Well its obvious really isnt it, Ricky has to be tough. He has to walk through an opponent to even cause damage. If he werent so tough, his offense would never get started. Floyd relies on his boxing skills, agility etc so toughness isnt that much of a factor until he fights Ricky. But when Ricky is grinding away with his head buried in Floyds chest, wearing and slowing Pretty Boy down, hes gonna have to bring that edginess out of nowher to survive.

Intangibles: Major Edge - Ricky

Ring generalship - Floyd, Awareness - Floyd, but what swings this massively in Ricky's favour is his heart. Ricky has what the British love in all their popular sportsman, passion, unrelenting desire, and the heart of a lion.You could put a wall of fire between Ricky and his opponent and he probably wouldnt notice. Thats why I only see Ricky losing by points or the ref jumping in, theres on way he stays down after a knockdown.




So, I still have it at a push really. The only reason I therefore say Ricky is because I want him to win so bad and just cant see him losing, but Floyd fans probably see the same thing. We all know this fight is necessary and will be great, lets hope we get it for Christmas this year

[El Kabong]

Another thing is Hatton is relentless to the body, which would be the easiest place to hit Floyd because it's the hardest to move and cover.

This is the reason why Hatton will beat Floyd........
Floyd has problem handling extreme pressure

I agree,I think Hatton is his biggest threat but the only problem is Floyd is going to be hitting him ALOT,will Ricky cut? Will Floyd break his hand?

[AdamGB]

I don't really rat Floyds stamina... he is allowed to relax to much and only works then he wants to against most of the guys he fights... he's a fit guy but when Zab pressured him in round four he didn't look to good... all Zab had to do was throw at Floyds exposed ribs and it could of changed the course of the fight. wasn't a split second thing either... his ribs were wide open because he tucked his (huge ) gloves up to his face and froze.

Floyds a fit bloke but his fitness hasn't really be tested that much because he's so relaxed in there, can he get away with relaxing against Hatton? I don't think so. could go either way but I can see Ricky doing it.
