Hatton fancies Mayweather job!

shame. If Collazo beats Hatton

i admire the confidence in Hatton, he knows the mistakes Zab made and will not do that himself.

... Judah didn't make a mistake... Mayweather just figured him out, relaxed, and adapted. Hatton doesn't have the only thing that made this fight somewhat hard for Mayweather, and thats comparable speed.

well imo, he could of done alot more than he was doing.....Sure the bodyshots slowed him down, but he could of made the extra effort to throw more punches rather than his range finder left jab.

Good point, but Floyd will fight Hatton totally different than he did Zab. Floyd knows what mistakes Tszyu made, and won't make the same mistakes.

Both are smart fighters. But if Hatton underestimates Floyd, he will lose.

i agree....it will be a totally different fight but let's just hope that Hatton dosen't lose heart and decides to stop fighting. Ive seen too many fighters do that before.

And when has Gatti lost heart and stop fighting? He didn't even against ODLH... He has more heart than Hatton IMO... its just too much fighting Mayweather... you'll see.

Well obviously, Hatton will have to find a way to get inside and rough Floyd up..
Gatti didn't, he looked like he was outboxing him and he got bashed up from the outside all night long

he won't, im guessing you've seen Callazo fight before?

Floyd has brittle hands and Hatton has a good set of whiskers, plus a great punch output its almost like a sniper rifle versus a shotgun. Great contrast in styles.

If I were forced to make an early prediction... it would be PBF by TKO. I dont think Ricky's brow could stay intact for 12 rounds.

Many times. And I think Hatton should be very careful. This guy isn't spectacular in any particular thing, but the things he does is enough to beat Hatton if Ricky isn't careful. He seems to have peaked against MAG that was a brutal beating and that image in my head I don't want to happen to Ricky Hatton where every inch of his body is red and bruised. Collazo doesn't have one punch power, but he has stinging power and Ricky is prone to cutting so I'm worried for Ricky in this fight, that plus it's the first natural welterweight he is fighting. Ricky should be in for a rough night. if he isn't I will be shocked.

Never, ever underestimate the British Bulldog mentallity.

lol, that's a first.......i never realised you were a fan

Well i still think PBF cuts Hatton up too bad. Although i agree he is no "Sugar" Ray Leonard.

Ok folks, take all of what hobson said with a pinch of salt, remember he's a promoter at the end of the day, and in my opinion he's doing a great job so far. He's got americans talking for sure, and is getting a firm backing from the hatton faithful.

Hobson said: "I think sometimes we undersell ourselves as Britons."

I think what he meant was that he had a hell of a time selling himself over here in the states as a Briton.

It's a british thing mate, stiff upper lip and all that. I guess it's like you americans with your patrioticness (terrible english I know). I really don't get it.

I think Hatton is definitely getting in over his head. I hate to keep bringing up the Gotti fight but It could be worse. I don't think Ricky has the heart like Gotti.

I really hope Floyd-Hatton happens in the UK.
Hatton loves the home crowd and Floyd excels playing the role of the bad guy.
I think Floyd-Hatton in Britishlandia would be a crackin' good time!

to be honest i think hatton could very well be the man to push floyd to the limits....hattons style is all wrong for PBF and eventually hatton is gonna get through, pin him to the ropes and unleash upon him....how floyd reacts to this relentless hunting and stalking after feeling a sting or 2 is anybodies guess....

zab took his foot off the pedal way too early and allowed floyd to make adjustments and thus have his own way....hatton is just gonna keep on coming and he wont stop throwing...

floyd is a great fighter, but he wont be able to evade hatton forever, if hatton doesnt cut too much (a big if) then he can take floyd to the wire and inflict punishment we've never seen floyd take before...hatton could very well win it....

PBF is no superman....

[Purist]

it's all right for PBF.
