Who wins? I know the brits are going to hate on me for making this thread, but Hatton doesnt seem to have the skills to hang with Mayweather. I apologize if this has been done already, I must have missed it.
No offense but....
Ricky Hatton is overrated, Kosta Tszyu is a very good fighter but he does VERY good against boxers and can't really deal with pressure as you can see...
but if you guys saw, Hatton was fighting very dirty, and just wrestling...
Whatever it was Hatton was doin it wasn't inside fighting..
Holding and Hitting is not inside fighting...the problem with Tszyu is that if his right hand doesn't take you out, then he has hardly anything else left...
Mayweather is not going to rely totally on his "right hand" (LOL)
Also like Mayweather said, "I showed the world that I could box, I showed that it's a boxing match, not a wrestling match."
Quite simple Pressure and workrate is only way to overcome overwhelming speed and skill. Ali Frazier, Duran Leonard.
a good jab and mobile feet is another way to control fast hands, just ask larry holmes. pressure and workrate isnt the only way. in fact if you step into the range of someone more powerful, more skilled and faster, you can find yourself ko'd in seconds..
nope im answering the way you answer it. You read everything wrong. So since Im going to answer like you. How can you compare duran to hatton? IDIOT. For you to say that hatton is like duran just shows how much you know :D
Hatton is somewhat like Duran but he has an even higher workrate than Duran does but that may be due to the fact they fight 12 rounds instead of 15 now. And a very relavent comparison can also be drawn between Leonard and Mayweather.
Duran stalked, but Hatton does not just stalks he is always throwing punches to everypart of his opponents body, for 3 and 10 seconds of every round. Hatton is also naturally bigger and stronger than Duran. Mayweather even though a great fighter is probably not as good as Sugar Ray Leonard was.
wow you actually know some boxing. This is a typical mcgay like response "your comparing duran to hatton and frazier to hatton? idiot! how can you compare those 2"
I am not responding to questions that everybody knows the answer too. That is what you call an excercise in futility.
bump! for the homoi dont know why I even respond to you. Your picture makes you look like one of those dumbshiets that get their ass kicked eveyrday because they look like they are in some kind of a boyband
Exhibit 1
Exhibit 2
You are a real connoiseur of boy band website photo shoots aren't ya fudgester.
it's easily summed up
hatton is a great athlete.
but floyd is a phenom.

sure..learn how to read stupid fock
Your talking points are alot of irrelevant, deluded, Mularchy so I have no choice but overlook them to make valid logical points. Quite sorry, no hard feeling eh.. ;)
haha you wont even give credit for judahs hand speed? COTTO IS FASTER THAN JUDAH? Do you have ANY intelligent posts? I'm sure manny pacquaio is stronger than judah.. Im sure webster is taller than judah..im sure you can beat judah
Is that Judah's next possible opponent then? Manny Pacquiao. I would not surprise me if it was. Judah fighting a guy that started his career at 108 pounds and Judah at 140, that would be perfectly in charcter for Judah and you could get all your pals like Larry Merchant and Al Bernstein and Barry Tompkins, Michael Katz and the boxing writer from USA today to actually make it sound like credible fight. Then Judah would win and the boxing press would taunt it as the win of the century. The natural 108 pounder vs the natural 140 pounder. :rolleyes:
thats what i mean, How can Judah's speed be overrated? do you think this guy is faster than him? http://x2.putfile.com/6/18004201011.gif
you kind of look like him
Judah's speed is nothing in comparison to Mayweathers. It is nothing in comparison to Cotto's it is nothing in comparison to Tzyu's handspeed. It is nothing in comparison to any guys with top notch handspeed.
Whats your logic for thinking Hatton can take out Floyd?
What is my Logic?
Hatton will fight Mayweather in fashion similar to the way Castillo did but Hatton is better at fighting in that style than Castillo. Hatton hits harders, is stronger, has better stamina, and Castillo in his fight with Mayweather had tenative moments which allowed him to lose rounds. Hatton would never have those tenative moments he fights 3 mineuts and 10 seconds of every round. Pressure and workrate is the only way you can neutralize the kind of speed and boxing skill Mayweather posseses as you saw with Ali vs Frazier and Duran vs Leonard.
Thats the strateghy lets use Zab Judah's overrated speed to try to counterpunch Mayweather and outbox him ;) . Give me a break. I cannot believe you are actually putting Mayweather's skills and speed and Judah's skills and speed in the same sentence it is utterly sickening bias. :rolleyes:
Any objective boxing observer will know that you are not going outbox Mayweather, especially not if your Zab Judah. You need to pressure him and rough him up all you can for 3 and 10 seconds of every round, the way Hatton fights in, and the way Castillo fights in but Hatton is bigger, stronger, dirtier, and better at it.
Whats your logic for thinking Hatton can take out Floyd?
IMHO, Judah is a better fight because he's fast enough to move out of the way of the Floyd punches. Hatton would swell like there's no tomorrow and the fight would have to be stopped. Floyd would dance around him for a while and he'd never be able to fight on the inside like he did to Tszyu. Floyd by TKO 10.

hmm
For those of you who say Judah-Floyd is a better match-up...yeah right.
Floyd has already shown us the fighters who give him problems are pressure fighters (N'dou, Castillo, etc). Judah is way too unfocused to outbox Floyd, and even if he was 100% focused, Floyd is just too msart for him.
Hatton is a way better match up, because he has many things in common with Castillo. It's a contrast of styles. Floyd vs Judah would be two similar styles (both slick boxers) except Mayweather is a step and a half better than Judah at everything.
Judah is not the type to impose size on a person, because he is a boxer. As a result, he would lose to Mayweather by UD.
Its good there are so many morons in the world to make this a 16-3 poll. If the fight actually does come hopefully you lot of bumbs drop your green on Mayweather to back up what you expouse and give me my 5-1 odds so I can for once clean up on your mass stupidity and delusion.
You throw around alot of mean words for somebody who was actually dumb enough to pick Gatti over Floyd. Not only that but you put it in writing for people to see! That is a crime of boxing stupidity in the highest degree, so you are really in no position to be calling anybody names.
ill tell you what Hatton will bring the fight to him.. and will make it close but im still going with pbf.. hatton has the castillo like style that will cause problems for pbf
I dont think Hatton is nearly as skilled a slugger as Castillo is. He is slightly more 1 dimmensional, and used his youthful advantage over Tszyu. He does not have that agianst Floyd. I think PBF stops him on cuts or tko within 5 rounds.

back on topic:
PBF will outbox Hatton for 12 rounds. Hatton will have some moments on the ropes and take a few rounds but they will be few and far in between. PBF UD Hatton.
i would want to see hatton win this one
though a long shot
