Hatton to beat everyone in the light welterweight division

who says Hatton's a bigger puncher than Mayweather? there's no common opponents between them to make that kind of claim You dont need a common foe to say Tua's a bigger puncher than Hatton but everyone knows he is. I really hope Hatton vs Mayweather happens, that way we will know who the 140lb top dog is.

Hatton don't hit too hard. Chico & Pacman is the hardest hitters from the smaller guys, also Cotto, Zab & Tszyu hits harder then Hatton. Mayweather & Hatton have the same kind of KO ratio. Again you are overrating your boy Hatton. Like I said Mayweather will beat Hatton anywhere, I hope he goes to Manchester & teaches Hatton a lesson. Hatton can also bring his homeboy REf Dave Parris with him. Where did Chico and Manny Pac come into it?? Hatton's a bigger puncher than Mayweather, surely you cant be bias enough to say otherwise?? My reply was just pointing out that having one advantage over an opponent doesnt mean that they will win. I dont understand this hometown, hometown ref bullshit. Hatton vs Tszyu was a totally fair contest, there was a couple of times when both fighters got rough but its a mans sport so who cares. UK or US, i've got Hatton to beat Mayweather by stoppage.

i think it would be a much better fight than mayweather gatti, but if floyd can move and counter the way he wants, it will be 12 rounds of hatton gettin beat up. OTOH, if hatton can stop floyd from gettin off by stayin in his chest, and actually keep his hands up when floyd throws (unlike gatti) and work the body, there could be a major upset. it would be a great fight to watch if each round hatton and floyd took turns doing what they do best; you'd see floyd's incredible speed, skill, and (underrated?) power. And you'd see hatton's relentlessness. my gut feeling tho tells me floyd is just too good. i can see this guy cleaning up 140 and 147 (i'm from bk, so, i'd hate to see zab lose, so, maybe floyd loses to zab ;) i think a confident mosley can prolly beat anyone under 154, but, has he lost all his confidence? he coula/shoulda knocked out estrada, why's he holding back? but i digress.. interestingly enough, i think tzyou would do better against floyd than hatton would. tzyou has seen and dealt with that kind of speed before, so, i think that'd be a more competetive (and potentially a little boring?) fight. in anycase, i like both guys, i love to see 2 completely different styles at the same weight, keeps things interesting and makes for the best fights.

I think this opinion that kostya was "over the hill" is just crap.Look how he destroyed mitchell in his fight before hatton.I also thimk people on here are exagerating the performance of mayweather against an awful gatti,who was static,flatfooted and as for his defence...That isnt to say i think hatton would beat mayweather,its too close to call,i just hope it happens if not to stopo all the hatton mayweather slanging match!

Hatton has got heart, desire to win, power, endurance, youth, stamina, speed and can take a punch he will be the best for the foreseable future.

Chavez definitely earned that knockout

i have to agree with you. mayweather is more moble and has a better defence then tszyu. ;) He sure does. Mayweather is a defensive master. Fighting backwards is nothing to him. He will land so many counters on Hatton, that he wont know what to do. Hatton seems like a one dimensional fighter, Mayweather is far from that and he WILL expose Hatton as that.

From what I have seen of both fighters I dont see much difference in power. Hatton lands harder to the body but Mayweather lands punches people dont see. To me thats tit for tat. Hatton does take shots. Vs Tszyu he smothered Tszyu's power. Tszyu landed plenty punches off of his back foot. Tszyus loses power when he is going backwards. There were a couple times Hatton took two flush punches coming in on Tszyu but since Tszyu was crowded and he did not get full extension they did not have big power behinde them. That was a good strategy vs Tszyu but that wont work vs Mayweather. Giving Mayweather a punch or two just to get inside wont work because Mayweather can just scoot away. Its not like Hatton is versatil. Thats what he is going to do and it wont work. Mayweather could move and pot shot all night and since Hatton does not have one punch power Mayweather could periodically go on the attack himself just to win rounds more convincingly. i have to agree with you. mayweather is more moble and has a better defence then tszyu.

Have you watched Hatton, for a pressure fighter he never takes shots. Saying Hatton is hitable and Mayweather is too hard to hit doesnt prove anything, i could just Hatton's too strong and punches too hard and Mayweather is too weak and cant punch hard enough.

Hey Iwatch, in your sig, it says Taylor beat Chavez, which Taylor are you talking about? i like how people still argue that Taylor beat chavez. People act like it was a bad decision, when the truth is he got KO'd, how can you argue a KO? If you can be KO'd 10sec in the 1st round, then u can be ko'd with 10 sec left in the last round. If you don't beat the count, or are unable to respond to the judge, then the fight is over.

The only fighter at 140 that I "thought" had a chance to beat Mayweather strictly because they had great handspeed was Vivian Harris. Now I don't think so after seeing his vulnerability in his last match. Cotto would get ko'd by Mayweather and Hatton would suffer a tko from too much punishment.

Thats how I feel. Hatton is too hitable and Mayweather is too hard to hit. Boxing can be real simple. Have you watched Hatton, for a pressure fighter he never takes shots.

I think most Hatton's fans are crackheads. They just don't make any sense. Have any of you Hatton fans have ever seen Mayweather on the ropes, he is more dangerous on the ropes, he becomes like James Toney, but faster! He will counter punch Hatton to death if Hatton tries to push him on the ropes. Mayweather will TKO Hatton if they fight in Manchester or in America. It won't make a difference. You can bring Dave Parris & your home judges, the results will be the same. Thats how I feel. Hatton is too hitable and Mayweather is too hard to hit. Boxing can be real simple.

cry me a river every fighter gets hit behind the head every fight deal with it

what do you mean a WWE match? I didn't see any elbow drops or body slams :confused: spinning someone around and hitting em behind the head isnt exactly orthodox boxing.

Tszyu didnt look faded at all. If it wouldnt have been a WWE match, it would have been a different fight. KT looked good, not faded one bit. what do you mean a WWE match? I didn't see any elbow drops or body slams :confused:

If Hatton can smother as effectively as he did against Tszyu, then I think he'll beat Mayweather in a close one. But for the record, Hatton did nothing illegal in Manchester other than that horrendous low blow (although Tszyu had it coming), so I really don't know what all the bitching is over. I'm American, but I admit that Hatton fought the perfect fight and got a cagey veteran to throw in the towel. You can't knock Hatton's performance against Tszyu, it was the perfect fight.

gatti is nowhere near as busy or aggressive as hatton. gatti just stood in front of mayweather. hatton wont stand, he'll charge. and as tough as he is, he'll get to mayweather and work him over against the ropes. mayweather has a chance to beat him, but its only a chance. Sure, he will charge and eat SHIT LOADS of leather while doing so. Will Hatton's hemophilic face hold up to the onslaught of bombs coming his way?

guys what is all this shit about tszyu being faded? tsyzu said he was in the best shape of his life going into the fight with hatton. Tszyu didnt look faded at all. If it wouldnt have been a WWE match, it would have been a different fight. KT looked good, not faded one bit.
