Mayweather Hatton faceoff!!

[Kel]

Eagle i think what Kel is saying the reason why hatton had troubles is because of head butts and a person who hit harder then pbf so thats why he thinks pbf won't cut i mean he wasn't stop by Kostya and he is a A grade righter not a prime one but not shot in my view so cuts might not be a problem

But he also said that cuts will not be a factor at all. Fair enough say they woont win the fight but to say they WILL NOT EFFECT the fight is stupid. Like i said u could argue Hattons body shots wont fe a factor because PBF has never been hurt by a body shot, but in reality they will be a factor.

Answer to your F*** up before you ask me more questions please.

What F*** up?
If B grade fighters that have fought Ricky have cut him, even minor cuts, then a top guy like Floyd could possibly turn those minor cuts into a major problem. I havent stated that is how the fight will end, but dismissing cuts as a problem is stupid.

but cuts have been a problem all ricky's career...especially early on n he's never been stopped because of them. his team are prepared for cuts so know how to handle it should the problem occur

My point is that if he has any cut problem at all, be it small or not, if its ever gonna become a larger problem it will be against Floyd, by far the fastest most skilled fighter Ricky has faced. Fair?
I never did say it would lose Ricky the fight, but it could become a problem if he does get cut he'll have to change his tactics.....
If he gets cut yet still just rushes forward he will get cut to shreds, anyone would.

Ricky will probably get cut...i'm sure.

Ricky is expecting to be cut too tho. as you say a boxer like pbf is almost certain to cause problems over his eyes. the point is though, Ricky is prepared for it so is going into this fight EXPECTING to be cut. its never been a problem before (look at the stats) so i cant see it been a problem this time.

Just cos u expect something to happen doesnt mean thats what will happen. If Floyd hits Hatton in the same cut over and again it'll be a problem. Floyd expects Hatton to go to the body, and is ready for it. doesnt mean its not gonna be a problem for him. Knowing something is going to happen is one thing, stopping it is the hard bit.

He never changes tactics. The last time he was told the fight would be stopped due to a cut (if he did not beat him in that round) he nearly broke the guy in two with a body shot. I'll see if it's on youtube.

So u are saying if he gets a bad cut against Floyd he'll charge forward still. That would be the end of Hatton there. Floyd will be picking him off all night. And Ricky has never faced anyone nearly as skilled as Floyd.

Yes I am.

Ell if he does he'll get beaten, and the cuts will have been a factor. Thank u very much.

Im not trying to irritate anyone by continuing this argument about cuts, but this is how I see the fight being finished. In a different post I stated how I would be happy if Rick can just go the distance with Floyd. I don't question Ricks heart or desire, but me personally just see him getting dominated, and see the uppercut as being decisive for Floyd. I WILL say this fight will be stopped from cuts, or at the least a face being closed up similar to Gatti after Floyd touched him. I know Rick would rather get k.o.'d than have a ref stop it, but just because Rick EXPECTS to be cut and is prepared for it doesn't mean he can stop the ref from ending the fight because of cuts, or eyes swollen shut. Once a cut is open, expect Floyd to 0 in on it like a fly on sh#t. Ricky can't outbox Floyd and that left hook to the body is really the only threat to Floyd, and fully expect Floyd and his camp to work on alot of uppercuts when Ricks inside grabbing and then trying to sneak that hook around the side. Ricks going to have to be REALLY prepared to take alot of abuse just to get an occasional punch in. Just my opinion on the fight. I'd be thrilled to see Ricky win, though I like Floyd alot too, and will gladly eat all my words should Rick pull off the upset.

That may well be the most intelligent(other than mine of course ) post out of the 400 odd written about this topic. No one is denying Ricky has a chance, he could win, but to say he is favourite, or knows he'll definetly win, or that cuts will be no factor is just dreamworld stuff. Anyone with bxing knowledge knows that PBF is the most likely winner whether he is a twat outside the ring or not. CC for your efforts

pretty boy floyd mayweather has never fought anyone with the determination and pride that ricky hatton will have going into this fight. period.

cuts or no cuts ricky hatton will come forward like the warrior he truly is.

what will be pbf's answer? retreat! and as he does there will be a young man from manchester ready to chop him down from every perceivable angle known to man.
the leverage hatton gets into his body punches is truly awesome....but his main attribute is tenacity, and pbf will have to do more than "pick him off" if he hopes to remain on his feet at the end of round 12, as i said earlier hatton ko5 imo.

i hate to be a shot poster but it is 4.30 am over here (london) and i need some kip

good to speak to you tonight eagle and i am looking forward to catching up with my post tomorrow

good night, god bless

My point is that Hatton is making a big step up in class fighting PBF, whereas PBF has been in with fighters like Hatton before(chavez, Castillo etc). Those fighters may not be as good as Hatton, but pride and tenacity, hardly ever beat pure class. If they did fighters like Gatti and Katsidis would be P4P number 1.

Thanks Eagle, much appreciated, and CC back. I'll be as nervous come fight night as anyone, and I got alot of respect for Ricky even jumping in with Floyd, big $$ or not, but I see a bad night for Rick, and a face that looks like a cheese grater ran over it at the end. Hope I'm wrong though

[Mr140]

More i read the more i wish the fight would happen so i can see it and just be done with it cant wait for this fight

[Mr140]

And hope that it lives up to the hype and is close fight either way and not a waste of money

No doubt bro'. I sure hope Saddo doesn't ever plan on having a "member get together", as that will be the biggest fight in history the way these threads are going.
