Dont you guys think that Mayweather can easily counter Hattons ingame by...

Clingching? When Mayweathers on the ropes and you have him cornered the guy ducks real low runs straight for your waist at an angle which nullifies your power and clinches. he also catches your arms and holds them till the ref breaks you up. He'ss probably do this to Hatton while Hatton tries to hold him or is coming in, nullifying Hattons hold game. Hatton will get his arse kicked!!!

Same principle applies. Both are slick fighters & their strength is probably similar being that Collazo isn't close to being one of the strongest Welters. Both are accurate punchers yet Mayweather is more of a surgeon with better defense & a better jab.

I really don't think that Hatton will win. The Collazo fight showed that Hatton can't get inside if you keep your jab in his face. When Collazo was jabbing consistently midway through their fight, Hatton couldn't do a thing with him. He looked confused & discouraged because he never had to deal with anything like that. Mayweather has a great jab when he uses it. He even out-jabbed DLH in their fight which set up his right hands. If Mayweather keeps a jab in Hatton's face Hatton is going to have a long night. That's why I think Vivian Harris could beat Hatton. He's a huge Jr. Welter, has a great jab & straight right, & knows how to use his height to his advantage. Callazo is much stronger than Floyd and totally different style fighter and also Hatton's weight class is not 147.

effective bullying and strength are prime compenents of infighting. He is a great infighter.

Hatton is too good an inside fighter, he'll be ripping all about the body on the inside, and the head when it comes. There really isn't a whole lot of countering opportunites bar when Hatton is at range or coming in and he's very good at getting to the inside. A good outside fighter usually beat a good inside fighter. Hatton is not what I would consider great at infighting. He's strong, bullying and relentless, but that doesn't equal infighting-skills. He grabs and clinches. Any great infighter would avoid clinching, because that nullifies the advantages he would have by being close and letting go. I can tell you one little secret on how to beat Hatton on the inside; move your feet and step around. You want to see what I mean, watch Calzaghe-Lacy. Yup, Lacy is no Hatton, but Calzaghe ain't no Floyd either. If Hatton doesn't get allowed to hold and clinch as he usually does, he's very ordinary. Look at the Collazo fight. I'm not saying it is easy for Floyd to beat him, but I'm willing to bet some candy that he can hold his own on the inside too.

I dont think much of mayweather, but i still say he will own hatton. I don't think much of the man in your avatar, but I think he'll beat Hanshaw.

There is countering opportunities but you better be prepared for a grueling 12 rounds if your going to go down that road and you probably wont win. That is if your going to fight Hatton on the inside and your Mayweather.

Who gives a shit about mayweather, he can retire undefeated. Most people don't even like him because he's boring. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics all don't like his fighting style. Though there are those few who have to be like "Mayweathers black so I'll root for him and pretend that his boring style intrest me" Then some rabid-floyd fan will bring up the gatti fight... fucking ridiculous when they can only mention one fight. And he still fought on the out-side and did his same shitty style. The guy doesn't fight close for a reason Why do bitches like you always pull the race card, and how do you figure "Blacks" don't appreciate Mayweather's legacy and skill? If you aren't black stop speaking for the black community you fucktard! Floyd is well respected within his community and that's all that matters, fuck the outliners.. P4P for life!

Floyd will probably stand in the pocket and make a mockery of Hattons punches, just to prove everybody wrong. It' not possible, He can't fight Hatton effective on the inside, he needs range.

It would be his best chance. Hopefully the referee in this knows boxing and lets Hatton work on the inside through Mayweather's clinches because he will try this.

Floyd will be there to not only fight but as he did with Gatti..he will embarass Hatton AS I said before..... Ricky Hatton will get knocked out while trying to run in to hold Floyd For those of you who think that Floyd is boring I don't consider you to be boxing fans. So whatever you say is obsolete. Even if you didn't like floyd you would love his style just cause you had appreciation for the art.

theres no way mayweather will be able to outclinch hatton. thats hatton's game. when hatton gets close, he grabs ur arms and works the body. i dont care how fast floyd is, hatton can catch him. and coming down in weight will surely play a factor for floyd. the best counter floyd will have will be uppercuts. throw the uppercut when hatton dives in to get close and clinch. the probly wont hurt ricky (cuz mayweather hasnt had power since 135), but they could stun him and stop him in his tracks and (not to mention) score points on the cards. if hatton can get close and throw flurries like oscar did (albeit ineffectively), he can win. if floyd uses his uppercut (and not his pesky little jab), he will win. staying away from ricky wont be an option, cuz ricky will get close no matter what. floyd's not impossible to catch or hit.

NO. you got it wrong. I notice at first all just hated pbf. Now i'd risk saying at least some of his haters recon the guy talent. As a fan (a white fan, if you want to bring floyd fans' race into it, as apparent) i don't get it why people don't like him in the first place. The only thing I don't like about floyd is the fact he dissed Ali, Robinson, and Leonard. He pretty much said they weren't that great and his accomplishments surpass theirs.

I bet you're one of those morons that thought you could box and went to the local gym thinking you could slug your way to a win . Only to run up against a slick fast puncher who refused to sit still and let you slug. What a moron!!!! I can't wait to see what you say after Floyd kills Hatton. I already know what you're going to say, I bet Cotto will kick his ass!!!!! Study and learn the sport before posting ignorant ass comments on the internet.

EliteSoldier:You're an idiot who knows little about boxing! Mayweather would win inside, or outside with Hatton. Hatton would just be a European version of Gatti!!! This fight should Hatton not fine a way out of it would be nothing short of a brutal killing of Hatton. Why do you think Floyd jumped at this. Gatti like ass-kicking ,Gatti like money. Destroy a public favorite in the process.

i wouldn't say Floyd is boring, thats unfair but I always expect more watching his fights and he doesn't quite deliver to the hype that surrounds him.
