Re: Mayweather VS Hatton . . . Who would win ? ? ?
Mayweather would beat Hatton. The judah fight has no bearing on this fight. Last I checked the hitman was niether as slick as Judah nor was he a southpaw. Besides, Floyd fights according to the opponent.
Most people think ricky would just chase floyd and grind him down eventually. Floyds not gonna sit there and allow himself to worked over along the ropes for 12 rounds by Hatton. Floyds a sharp counter puncher with great accuracy and Hatton is very vulnerable on the way in and has eaten jabs and counters from slower, less mobile boxers like Tszyu while trying to getting inside.
Most people would like to think Hatton will take those punches and still over power and get inside the way he did on Tszyu. What happens when he eats a few, gets inside and finds noone home or gets gets tied up. Much of Tszyu's downfall in the Hatton fight besides the low blow was that after Hatton was on top of him, he stopped moving his feet and let ricky get his work in while waiting for the ref to separate the fighters. Hatton can outwork almost any fighter on the inside if they cooperate and let him, because he's a machine that just keeps going and going, but I just dont see him cashing in enough of his style to walk away with a victory against a fighter as smart, fast, slick and in condition as floyd.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
