I said before the KT fight , Ricks must start as favourite. Why? KT had only had a handful of rounds in the previous few years, Ricks was the hottest non - world title holder in boxing, if it was on common opponents Ricks wins because he smashed in Phillips while Phillips smashed in KT , if it was on styles Ricks wins because Phillips pressured KT for the win and Ricks is better pressuring than Phillips........
Now I see this Mayweather fight , Ricks is my favourite. Why? Mayweather has only had a handful of fights above lightweight, Ricks has had his whole career above lightweight, if it was on common opponents Ricks wins because he absolutely anihilated Pep while Pep gave Mayweather a good workout , if it was on styles Ricks wins because Castillo pressured Mayweather for the close call and Ricks is better pressuring than Castillo....
KT and Mayweather only do good with opponents who try to box them , Ricks not only hasthe style to beat them but has better ring smarts than KT and Mayweather put together......
Honestly , Ricks anihilates Mayweather in two or three rounds!!! Listen , Ricks will weigh between 154 and 158 on fight night while Mayweather has to realy build himself up to 140 or 147 , honestly Ricks rips this guy to shreds because he is too stocky and strong for him , it as simple as that , once Ricks starts ripping the midsection Mayweather will fold up like a woodlice and then boom, boom, boom he's down and smashed and theres no going back .......
i liked that video clip.. this fight honestly.. i dont know what to expect.. ricky hits hard and has a crazy workrate.. i think hell pressure the shit outta mayweather.. if he does he better be prepared to get hit.. i think thats the only way to beat PBF. i noticed alot of hattons opponents dont have a good defense... PBF is hard to hit.. he blocks with his gloves and rolls them.. ricky is just going to outwork him and throw tons of combinations.. switch it up from the head to the body.. as for stamina, both have great stamina.. hard to pick..
as for pbf.. he just has to use that ring.. not trade.. use his great defense and speed..
i see this as castillo vs PBF but hatton is just stronger
They will meet, soon, and the fight could go either way, depending on who imposes their style. If they Fight Ricky's way Floyd is in for a painfull beatdown, if they fight Floyd's way Ricky is in for a humiliating lesson in boxing.
thats a good point, thinking about this fight it will go either way 100% and one will completely own the other and it we wont know which one until they get in there.
Seriously.
Ricky is going to treat all you doubters to a spectacle of clearing out the divisions. there are plenty of great fights, Margarito, gatti, cotto, corrales, castillo, judah...but the real danger is Floyd and hopefully he'll get that done by the end of the year.
Ricky said it best "I'm not avoiding Floyd and Floyds not avoiding me, we're making a fight"

This is why we are all getting so excited by it. As a Ricky fan I'm worried for my boy, but at the same time I think he has the tools to do it, only time will tell.
I agree 100% these guys are businessmen and they will make this fight when it is ripe, they are not avoiding each other. My only contention is that I think PBF will win, but hey thats my opinion and fights would be boring if fans always agreed on who would win a fight.
That's one in 40 fights, LMFAO!

i just watched the kosta vs ricky fight. This was not boxing, it was more like wrestling. He is not as fast PBF. I could see those punches coming even when they were tied up. I dont think Ricky will last long if he try that here in the States, all that grappling was boring. And he is no Castillo. Castillo applied pressure, but he moved side to side, had good head and shoulder movements which made it hard to find a target. Ricky on the other hand is straight up horizontal. it s gon be easy picking if he do that, he cant win with that.
I'll have to disagree with you. Floyd was Knocked down in the Judah fight, but his chin is solid. Ricky Hatton depends on having an iron chin however, and be assured he'll check Floyd's chin more thoroughly that Floyd will test his.
Yeah, Floyd was "technically" KD'd in the Judah fight and should've been ruled a KD. Though, it was because mostly Floyd just lost his balance. You really can't use that incident as evidence against his chin.
How can you say that Ricky has a better chin against someone who hasn't been KD'd? I seriously feel sorry for you if you consider that a true KD in the Judah fight.
Stamina, eh, I'm going to have to give the advantage to Floyd. He always comes to a fight in top notch physical condition. He also paces himself better than anyone.

That post makes you sound stupid, watch much boxing? People throw punches at any angle they can land, not just left / right jab and straight punches. Whatever is the most effective for the situation will be thrown.
Sorry, you cannot generate "crazy" angles (like he was implying) if you're a foot in front of someone, UNLESS you throw wide loopy punches (like I stated in the post), which Floyd would have fun with.
Alsorts of angles that HATTON can produce?! HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT!! THE CRAZY ANGLES ONE CAN PRODUCE STANDING WITHIN A FOOT AND DIRECTLY INFRONT OF A PERSON AT 180 DEGREES!!! WATCH OUT FLOYD!
Sorry a little thing called physics doesn't agree with you. Unless Hatton starts throwing wide ass loopy punches which Floyd would have a hayday with.

What about Ricks nobody has coped with his speed of hand yet ,be interesting to see wehether Mayweather can cope with that speed of hand with short, compact shots from alsorts of angles , not to mention the fact that Ricks will make Mayweather look like a little boy !!

Uhm, sorry, Hatton is no where near as fast as Floyd. The only advantage Ricky has is strength.
Smarts: Equal
Speed: Mayweather
Footwork: Mayweather
Defense: Mayweather by a gazillion miles
Strength: Hatton
Hatton also has a big advantage in power and probably also has a stronger chin. His stamina is going to be a bit better than Floyd's stamina as well, though maybe not by a long way.

I would have to disagree on the "smarts," Mayweather has a killers instinct but Hatton seems to line his opponets up more.

Listen Are Mayweathers hands as fast as they once were in the Sharmba fight or Zab judah fight ?? No....the guys getting slower , and Ricks at 147 pounds will be frightening because Kerry Kayes has more protein in his diet and he dont need to eat only green vegetables with no water for days to make 140, so speed and power will be ripping ....
Every shot Ricks throws carries thought , purpose and beauty....
Ricks hands are as fast as Mayweathers because Mayweather aint as fast at the heavier weight....putting unnneccasary weight on reduces his speed......
All this talk that Mayweather is this and that and will do this or that to Ricks is a bunch of crap !! Kerry Kayes will make sure Ricks is carrying more lean muscle tissue than ever before for Mayweather at 147 pounds, it will be a ripping display that will shock the boxing world but not me...
