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

[El Gamo]

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.

I disagree about Floyd's work rate,he is one of the fittest if the not the fittest guy around. He lives breathes eats sleeps in the gym,watch the second Castillo fight and how he avoided that machine with his lateral movement from beginning to end. He knew if he relaxed there,he would be crushed so he did the smart thing. I gree with your points in the Zab fight though,that's why Ricky was sooooo confident after the fight.

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



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.

I think that Mayweather has a better chin. The others can be put either way. RIicky has had to show his intangibles more then Mayweather. So we've never seen Mayweather having to be tested that way because of his style.

Some people may disagree but I can see this fight looking like mayweather/chavez. Looking at that fight and chavez style of bull- rushing in and throwing relentless shots to the body applying constant pressure he kinda looked like a smaller weaker version of hatton but you saw how mayweather dealt with him so that leads me to one conclusion,this fight would be determined by one thing;Hattons punching power. If floyd can take his punch hatton will lose. Inside or outside I feel mayweathers more technical sound than hatton. If hatton can't hurt him he will lose bad. Mayweather is too fast for hatton,truthfully I think if floyd wanted he could just run and pot shot him all day but floyd likes to stand in the pocket now a days to make it interesting and that will be hattons only chance but if he can't hurt him he'll get popped all day.Floyd might not knock him out but he'll tear his face up.

Good points, and that's what I've been saying. Hatton is tougher than Chavez, but I can't say that Hatton is tougher than Castillo, or has a better chin. Power between Hatton and Castillo are close, and Castillo couldn't hurt floyd. Floyd has only gotten better at dealing with pressure fighters since Castillo, but noone seems to realize that. Hatton will eat alot of punches, more than what he'll dish out.

floyd could not keep hatton off him for 12 rounds.

I don't think he would have to keep Hatton off of him for 12 rds, maybe the first five or six rounds, by that time Hatton would figure out that he better stop charging in because he would be getting busted up and then he would have to keep Floyd off of him for the next 5 rounds. I would say an 11th round TKO, Hatton stopped on cuts, not a Knockout, thats my prediction if the fight ever happens.

when Castillo fought Mayweather, his style was neutralised and Castillo wasn't getting hit that often..
Hopefully Hatton could make a better effort

In the first fight that happened, but Floyd still outlanded him. In thew second one, Floyd clearly won. Since, Floyd has gotten alot better against pressure fighters.

[Purist]

There was a rematch you know, where Mayweather won quite easily.

[eugepang]

Hatton won't beat Floyd, they'll just destroy each other. It's the most exciting match up out there, hopefully we'll get to see it next year!

[Purist]

The way Hatton would beat Floyd is the same reason that people think Margarito could beat Floyd

[The_One77]

Hatton has the higher workrate, and his punches are shorter and more accurate

[Purist]

That is true. But its basically the same style. Except Margarito's shots are much wider

[Salhadin]

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,

Castillo boxes NOTHING like ricky hatton.....

I have all 40 of Hattons fights, have seen em all a couple of times. He uses his feet in a way that is NOT possible for Castillo, Hatton is always on his toes while castillo is a flat footed pressure fighter. Hatton has the best headmovement in the game when it comes to closing distance. And he counters a jab wit his own up jab whenever you throw one....

Hatton would definetly give floyd trouble, because floyd cant run from a guy with feet and pressure like hatton...

Hatton might not win, but then again....Floyd might not win...

And honestly i think it will all depend on the Referee, if the ref lets hatton get away wit the Rough House Tactics, then floyd will NOT win.

Floyd doesnt like gettin headbutted, elbowed, low blowed....floyd is like a little girl, and if hatton elbows and butts him a couple times, ITS OVER!!!!

I will you for your previous comments on this thread, but to be honest your argument went somewhat astray here....
