Sorry dude, but that's just not true. Hatton's hands are lightning fast.
The rest is nonsense too.
Lightning fast? what lightning? lol you got to be kidding, even the media, the true boxing fans, former fighter say the samething that floyd at 140 is quicker then hatton. Only an idiot fool would say hatton's hands are lightning fast.
Mayweather is actually not that small...people have this illusion because he started his career at 130, but just look at his frame, it isn't that small at all, it is probably bigger than Hatton's.
Hatton's punch to the body is a great weapon to have, but lets not forget that Mayweather isn't the same fighter that Hatton has fought previous, other than Tszyu, who I think is tougher, stronger, etc. That Tszyu didn't look so healthy either so that is another debate.
For the weight, he should stay at 140, agree, the guy is great at that weight and it is unfair to expect him to continue fighting at 147...he took a shot at it because he wanted Floyd, but unlike Floyd, he fought actual 147 pound fighters and saw the difference.
It just seems that Hatton is buying time for Mayweather to get a little older...once a fighter hits 30, attributes tend to go downhill
Fighters? do you mean fighter? cause hatton only fought 1 time at 147 pounds thats it. Hatton team thought that collazo would be an easy opponant to face hatton thats why hatton and his team choose to fight him, and look at this after the collazo fight, hatton is going to fight a fighter with freaking 17 wins just cause he wants his title back lol i bet ya if floyd was still at 140 pounds and won the ibf title do you ppl stil think hatton would go back down to 140 to fight floyd to get his title back? lol
At 140 pounds he's way way quicker then hatton
Sorry dude, but that's just not true. Hatton is very fast, his hands are lightning.
The rest is nonsense too.
Hatton has stood next to Mayweather and was suprised at how much naturally physically thicker he was to Mayweather, he was convinced that Mayweather wouldn't be able to keep him off him.
Floyd has face fighters that hit harder then him and look stronger then him, its nothing new to floyd. At 140 pounds, floyd would have easily embarrass hatton. Hatton style is putting pressure but he is soo wide open that floyd can easily tag him. Floyd is really good counterpuncher. At 140 pounds he's way way quicker then hatton. 90 percent a great boxer beats a great puncher with no defense.
Yes it is that simple, Hatton has 20+ KO's with the left hook to the body - it is an absolutely lethal punch, and would be even more lethal against a naturally small guy like Mayweather.

Wow, it's that simple :rolleyes: maybe he should use the testicle shot that he used on Tszyu as well, that and the grappling

maybe at 140, but not at 147...his body frame is to small to carry the extra weight so it would be best not to come in at 158 again
I'm talking 140, I don't see Hatton losing to anybody at 140 in the near future.
If Hatton lands his body shots, Hatton wins.
No question, IMO.

Chavez did run out of gas but Chavez isn't Ricky Hatton, Hatton has abnormal stamina.

The best thing I love hearing from the entire Hatton camp is that they know they can win because Duran beat Leonard in their first meeting :rolleyes:...maybe that had something to do with Leonard not fighting his figh...so why not mention the second fight where Duran quit? :D
Mayweather isn't going to be Leonard and allow himself to be taken out of the fight, why? because he saw the fight and he knows the whole story of why Leonard lost.
Hatton also doesn't hit like Duran nor does he have the defense
I believe Hatton had the tools to go almost 50/50 with Mayweather.
By staying at outside and trying to box him??!?!

lol kfootball15,
Hatton trying to box Floyd would be a mismatch for Hatton and his fans.
Seriously, that would be too embarrassing to watch Hatton get absolutely demolished if he did that.

Mayweather utilizes his angles, has the better jab and better footwork, no question.
Floyd is too fast for Hatton to effectivly work to the body.
Word games..
If Hatton can hurt Floyd and stay on him and his face not turn into a mess than he could beat Floyd. He won't hurt him, and if Floyd slaps him with shots for a few rounds I don't see him being too effective.
