:boxing: Hatton Vs Mayweather :boxing: !!
If Mayweather was Hattons next fight what would be the outcome and who would win? :feedback:
Pretty Boy via KO in late rounds...he would close Hattons eyes...yea playa, both of them..
PBF would win, I think that people forget how smart PBF is and when collazo stuck to boxing he landed clearly and was winning rounds. Hatton had his moments when he pressured Collazo but I think PBF would stick to the boxing gameplan the whole time,and he's faster then collazo in hand and foot speed.Basicly Hatton would show heart but not be able to get to mayweather enough to win a fight with PBF in my opinion!
PFB would dominate Hatton from what I saw last night. I like Ricky's swarming style but I dont think it would be effective against the upper echelon fighters. His power was not very emprisive ethier Callazo looked like he landed the bigger shots in that fight. I belive him when he says he has to grow into the weight and i think he will get stronger as time progesses but I think he is over rated from what is saw last night against callazo. How do you think he would do against DHL?
a good challenge would be versus cotto.......gatti would be entertaining but gatti is too shot for any big challenge now.......
so against cotto would be very interestin as i'm also sure the $ guys would like to see a more firm ref....if hatton can't hug and clinch then he is dead in the water and imagine how this would suit cotto!..
i wasnt impressed by Hatton yesterday, he barely won the fight for someone who is hyped up as much as he is. Mayweather would school him in the art of boxing, the thing about Mayweather is he has perfect timing, He can come in, throw a bunch of punches, and be out of range before Hatton has a target.I gotta say that they both look kind of small for welterweight.
Some great points have been made!As much as it pains me to say, Going on the last nights fight Ricky could not beat Mayweather if it was hes next fight. He needs to find a way of cutting the ring off, And to learn to slip a few punchies might help to. The thing I guess that is troubling me"A Hatton Fan" Is I can't see the answer for Hatton to beat Mayweather... I would want Hatton to win but I just can't see it, at this point. As I said before it would never be an easy fight either way.
I just read an article from another site in which a guy claims "...many observers will now make Pretty Boy an even clearer favourite if and when he meets Hatton." BTW........
HE LISTENED TO THE FIGHT ON THE F^%KING RADIO!!!!!!!
I agree they will make Mayweather a bigger favorite, and rightly so. Your only as good as your last performance. With that in mind, right now Hatton is'nt great!!!
I'm a big Ricky Hatton fan, I've met him on a couple of occasions and last night was the first Hatton fight I've not been to for about three years (I can't get a visa to enter the US). As much as it really pains me to say it - he needs to stay away from PBF. Before last night I thought he would beat Floyd, but now I have to agree with most of the yanks on here. He's got no fucking chance. PBF would run rings around him, and Hatton's only chance really would be to get lucky with a punch. If it happens I will still bet on Hatton and I will support him to the end, but he looked awful last night and IMO lost the fight.
Mayweather is faster, more intelligent and has 10x the skill of Collazo, the holes mayweather probably saw in Hatton last night would make him a heavy and deserved favorite.
All this talk about Hatton doing to Mayweather what he did to Tszyu, WILL NOT HAPPEN, during clinching Hatton will be broken up, also, unlike Tszyu, PBF can punch inside and outside and doesnt need to 30 feet away just to get off on his punches. Mayweather would likely do what Collazo did, try to create enough space to get off and make sure he hits hatton as hes coming in with effective counter punching.
Also, Mayweather is not easy to hit..at all, unless your Zab Judah (who is extremely fast and highly gifted) your not gonna just easily set up and hit him. Especially when you keep coming in with the same arsenal, Mayweather adjusts DURING fights. Something ive NEVER seen Hatton do.
However, Hatton still has a chance because hes a proven champion whos undefeated.

Last night's fight was a little taste of reality. Reality being Ricky Hatton is not ready to fight the top two welterweights. As much as Hatton gets hit, he would be talior made for PBF and would be KOed by Margarito. I know there's a lot of Hatton supporters on the site but reality is the big picture of the truth. You could clearly see he was stunned several times in the fight. If not for all the grappling ricky goes down in the 12th aganist a guy not known for his power. I do agree with the fight decision and it could have went either way. "The Hitman's" pressure and stamina is one of his biggest attributes but he did start to fade a bit towards the end of the fight, which gave Collazo the chance to win or in the 12th stop Hatton if not for the smart holding. Ricky needs a at least two more fights at this weight before he can seriously say he's ready for the Mayweathers and Margaritos of the division. As much as Ricky struggle down the stretch of the fight, a rematch with Collazo would make the most sense at this point.
I think Ricky would beat Margarito.

There is no way it will ever be0 that easy either way, for a Hatton or Mayweather! The only floor for Hatton is Mayweathers ability to hit and move, He has great foot work. Hatton will beat Cotto and Castillo I am sure of that. But I just cant see a clear winner from the Hatton Vs Mayweather
Don't get me wrong I think Hatton is a good fighter. Floyd is just all wrong for him and his last fight should have opened everyones eyes to what I've been saying all along. Hatton won't do good against a fast slick fighter (The reason he hasn't fought any). Hatton will always do good against guys with slow hands and power cause he can smother them and take away that advantage. Collazo doesnt even have very quick hand speed but good hand speed and he was landing solid clean rights that were snapping Hattons head around like a bobble doll. Floyd will have a hay day with right hands and uppercuts on this guy. I just dont see why people can't see that. It's clear as day to me.

After watching the Collazo fight Mayweather will Gatti Hatton I am certian of it. Now I see why his team keeps him away from fast slick fighters. Also if you want to see what Mayweather will do to a guy that fights like Hatton watch Floyd in the Jesus Chavez fight. except floyd is going to murder Hatton worse.
If im Hatton I stay away from Floyd and fight Cotto, Castillo, and or Corralles. Maybe fight Mayweather last if you can get through them to setup a big challenge for yourself. But Mayweather Destroys Hatton and I'll put all my points up and never post on Boxingscene again if Floyd doesnt beat Hatton.

Hatton could prove to be Mayweathers more difficult opponent. The guy has unlimited stamina and he puts alot of pressure on his opponent. IMO use the same strategy like he used against Kostya. Don't let him outbox you or you'll get mauled by Mayweathers speed. Hatton needs to work on his dash speed to get inside where the physically stronger Hatton can work his magic and score a KO. The key is bodyshots to slow Mayweather down. Either that or Mayweather can find some way to box from a distance from Hatton and cut his faces to pieces and score a TKO or win by points. Either way it's goimg to be a very unpredictable fight. As much as I hate Gayweather, I think his ring smartness might score him the decision.
Good post=Good K. But I think it could go either way. I am really looking forward to this fight. I think Hatton could win this one, his pressure is really effective.
I'm with Hatton all the way! But I don't think if hes next fight was with Mayweather that he would win! I think that Hatton would not be able to cut the ring off enough to be honest. Mayweather is a bit slick. A few fights down the road at 147 is def needed.
He was never going to produce a perfect performance against Collazo though, he's stepping up in weight, against a slick southpaw ( which Hatton has trouble with ), fighting for a world title..a couple more fights at this level... you'll see the difference,
