It would be so easy for MAYWEATHER to hit HATTON and not be hit.One good uppercut is all it would take to stop HATTON in his tracks.MAYWEATHER to fast to sharp.
There is no reason to believe PBF could only lose to another similar type good boxer. There might not be anyone who boxes as well, so naturally the type to beat him will be a slugger who can box as well. Don Curry was supposedly the masterful and he was beaten by the raggamuffin slugger Honeyghan. I think u get my drift. PBF will lose one day, and i believe Hatton still has a good chance, especially when he is not expected to win.
Mayweather is a fantasic boxer. We've all seen him over his career and what he does night and night out. Its common to say "Oh so and so is going to beat on Mayweather" everyone wants to pull the upset card and say I told you so. Floyd would not have any trouble with Hatton simply because in America he wont get bullied like Tyszu did. He will outbox Hatton and break him down. Collazo is a average boxer and have Ricky some serious trouble, Floyd is on another level than Collazo in terms of skill. The only guys I see Floyd having trouble with are solid boxers such as Margarito or a DLH.
Hatton took more punches than i thought he would. PBF is human so i think Hatton could beat PBF. Of course he can. But he will have to do better than he did against Collazo.
Maybe Hatton was too eager too impress against Collazo in America. Against PBF he wud start as underdog and that might just suit Hatton.

** I got news for you junior. Floyd can't punch his way out of JamesTitties KFC bucket AFTER Mr. Titties softened it up with combinations and wet it down.
Hatton better stay away from floyd, tony, miguel or Luis for that matter!
I agree he should stay away from Collazo cos he's a southpaw. It was a risk in the first place. At this stage in his career he did'nt need that belt!! But all the rest of them big names... yeah bring them on... If he losses, so what at least he's lost to the highly regarded!!
as long as floyd could avoid getting grappled he will pitter patter and run his way to a ud. but hatton would throw floyd around like a ragdoll if he gets a hold of him. we would just have to see what the effect of getting manhandled had on mayweather.
World class fighters like mayweather dont take a body beatin like some of rickys early foes, even in his fight last nite ricky couldnt get off body shots and mayweather would destroy him
so de la hoya dint get knocked out by bhop by a body shot?
or is my opinion on oscar been world class far from the mark?
I noticed that he fights very very flat footed and leaps into his punches.. I think Floyd, Oscar and Cotto take Hatton out easy with little trouble. Im not bias but I think a world class boxer always beats a world class slugger...Defense wins, Hatton doesnt have any
I see Hatton as a one of those tough fighters who will slug it out with anyone but lacks the accuracy and defense to be the best. Swarmers like ricky will always be beaten by "Slick" fighters who can slip his punches and fire away from the out side. He does have great stamina and will always be dangerous but I think he will become one of those guys that is a "test" for other fighters on their way up not a undisputed champion.
Hatton is overrated. He is an exciting fighter so I understand why people like him but there is no way he is going to be able to compete with the top welter weights (PFB for example). And as for him improving so much he has already had 41 fights. I do agree that we cant judge him on his first fight a welter because alot of guys look slopy right after they move up but Hatton doesnt have the tools to compete with the best.
Yes he does.
At least we can agree that he is the best junior welter out there right now. He dominates the division. Can we all agree on this?
And i think hatton does have the tools. Hes got some of the best stamina in the sport. Hes got some of the best body punches in the sport. Once he takes on the big names, he'll learn how to thrown body punches effectively at welterweight. He'll take away a guy like mayweathers speed. He'll wear him down, open him up, and knock him out.
But right now its really up in the air. If he does great in his next fight at 147, we'll know it was just a fluke and he had the jitters and stuff for his first welterweight fight. IF does bad againt then he isnt a welterweight. then maybe he should stay down and junior welterweight and dominate the division till the end of time.
But u cant tell right now. u really cant. i say we all shutup about this fight for now, and speak our opinions after his next welterweight fight, which will most likely be in 9-11 months, because hes goin back down to fight the winnier of castillo carrales.
in the beggining round i was like.. hatton can definately handle mayweather.. once collazo made adjustments and boxed.. it was a wrap.. i know that mayweather will use the whole ring to potshot him all night

World class fighters dont go down from body shots? what are u saying. it happens all the time. and we arent saying that a body shot is gonna KO him, we are saying that Hattons body shots are gonna take mayweathers speed away, and ultimately get a KO by going to the face.
And the reason he couldnt get body shots off last night was because he wasnt throwing them. Everytime he threw them he landed fairly cleanly and u could tell i hurt Collazo. because it hurt him so badly, he protected it very well for the rest of the fight.
mayweather would have fun with fatton, it would be ridiculous. imagine rocky marciano takin on ali, prime louis, holmes, but fatton is not as skilled as marciano
Heres what i see happening in Hattons career.
Hatton takes on Castillo at 137(because i think he'll beat carrales, even though i want carrales to win.) Hatton wins by KO in the 10th round cause he'll have his incredible body shots back.
Hatton takes on Gatti back at 147. I think hatton will win by either late decision, or his stamina will outdo Gattis by a lot and he'll dominate him in later rounds, resulting in a KO in the 11th or 12th.
Hatton takes on Cotto, possibly, at 147. He may lose. I can see this fight going either way. If hatton has really learned the ways of the welterweight division by then, i see him winning for sure. If he is still kinda warming up to it, i see him getting KOed in the later rounds.
Hatton takes on Pretty boy Floyd mathweather at 147. IF he beat cotto he will KO mayweather. i think the only way hatton could win is if he KOes him, and i can see it happening if Hatton effectively uses his left hook to the body. IF he loses to cotto, i dont even see this fight happening. but if it does, Hatton may or may not lose. IF he won, it wouldnt be by KO, because if he loses to cotto it clearly shows that he is not a welterweight.
If hatton grows into the welterweight division effectivly, and does very well agaisnt gatti, boldamir, or cotto, i would see him beating Mayweather. IF he learns to cut the ring off a bit better, get inside and let his left go to the body, i dont see mayweather saying up for very long.
Sure u could say the opposite. If mayweather avoids having himself get cut off in the ring, he could contually dodge and counter Hattons monster left hook. But hattons to quick a learner. He bully fight if he has to and i really see him winning this fight once he learns the ways of the welterweight division.
But if Hatton were to have foughten Mayweather instead of Collazo last night, he would of taken a beating and would have gotten KOed early. He'll grow into it relativly quickly.
