Picks, Mayweather- Hatton

Mayweather Tko in the 9th via that cut that Hatton had against Maussa...It opens up again

I think I've said more then enough about this comment. I've dissected it from every single angle and I still see Hatton winning this. I'll leave you with one final though: Hatton is stonger and more active than Castillo and he won't stand around waiting for PBF like most do. He will go at Mayweather and if He doesn't get stopped on cuts He will beat Mayweather.

If anything i think Mayweather become a worst fighter since Castillo, you cant hand feed big game and expect them to be able to hunt effectively afterwards, Floyds had too many easy meals and it could show in a fight against someone decent. I find that suprising considering Hatton was on that same path before Tszyu and turned down a fight against Floyd. Also, out of the 40 fights on Hatton's resume, the only elite fighter was Tszyu.

Hatton said he thought he was headhunting too much and loading up too much so at least he is conscious of what was wrong with his performance last night. Against Mitchell PBF got clipped a number of times and looked a bit slower. He can't really keep moving up in weight and keep all of his speed and power so it may actually be in Hatton's interest to wait for PBF to move to 147, maybe beat Zab and get the belts, and then fight him. I think Hatton could easily carry a few extra pounds and he does not rely on speed as much and has great stamina so it may make beating PBF easier. I think Hatton would have some trouble with Cotto but Cotto seems like he has been a bit shaken in his last two so Hatton may have a good chance of a ko. I would love to see Hatton stretch PBF but I think he would have a hard time with this fight and I would give a slight advantage to PBF.

Floyd would work him well and get a late tko belive me..

Why is everyone using Floyd's two Castillo fights as the standard to beat him? He has gotten 10 times better since then and is much bigger. Sure, Hatton brings pressure, but he is very vulnerable to being hit and countered. With Floyd's accuracy, Hatton will eat huge amounts of leather if he does bull-rush in head first. Also, don't judge Floyd's last few fights and assume that he's gonna fight Hatton the same way. If you followed his career, then you know that he adjusts his style to his advantage. So, some fights he'll stay in the pocket and others he'll box and move.

Maybe, but i'm a little worried that its a mentallity problem....i'm worried that he's feeling stronger so he think thats a good thing, so he'll continue to make himself even stronger, which is shit because you need a good balance speed and strength....i think Cotto's lost his way since he's tried to make himself stronger and i dont want Hatton to do the same thing. Its like the Roid heads who go to a boxing gym, the get fucked over and they almost look in shock that someone half their size is giving them a beating.......they think being stronger better when really it just makes you slow and easy to hit. I think the Hatton who fought Stewart would have done a much better job last night. You may be right but it could just have been a deliberate ploy because of the last 2 opponents he was facing. He shoudn't do it long term, that's for sure. He needs the speed and he was plenty strong enough before the KT fight.

Agreed, if Hatton turns up sharp he'll beat Mayweather but if not then he'll get picked off..........he's looking too strong and too slow, sometimes i think he leave his best work in the gym. That could be true maybe he is feels a lot of performance anxiety. For example: I saw Daniel Ponce De Leon sparring some time ago and I could not believe it was the same wild swinger. The same applies to Margarito though he has gotten better at relaxing putting it to work in the ring.

It could be something to do with him not being as active in the last year, especially with the way he blows up between fights.

If Hatton fights like he did last night then he's got no chance. That was far from his best performance - he was just loading up on everything and barely put a decent combo together. At his best I think he breaks PBF down gradually, he's too strong and relentless for little Floyd.

I would go with Mayweather via decision. Hatton had a difficult time for the first few rounds today not only with maussa's awkwardness but with his movement too i thought. Floyd would not stand in front of hatton at all and has the jab to open that tender face of ricky's pretty quick. Hatton is a tough nut though so he would go the distance unless stopped on cuts I disagree with you about Floyd's movement. He's becoming more a fighter with every fight. Watch any of his last few tapes and note how much he stays in the pocket. That would be trouble against Hatton.

hatton hasnt been cut by a punch for ages, i dont think PBF hits hard enough or will catch him enough to cut him that bad at all if at all, might nick him and swell but not fight threatening cuts

fuck off ;) I still think PBF out slicks hatton, but hel have a very hard nights work, i just dont think hatton will be able to be consistant enough with his workrate to beat PBF, i think both fighters will take alot of good shots but PBF will just be slightly too good getting off the cleaner work when it counts
