max kelerman comments on mayweather vs cotto and hatton

Its funny.....floyd was never popular with the fans since after his first 4 round fight. Everyone expected him to dominate his opponent and by the last round they booed. I don't think he ever forgave them for that. He absolutely has no desire to please fans. He was also considered a big puncher back then. I still think he punches pretty hard.

Max usually makes sense. I don't know what happened here

i agree they both leave themselves open to much they both have never faced a technical fighter like floyd someone who understands boxing and wont get caught up in a brawl wich is what they both want thats the only way they can when fights. like floyd said hatton is a hell of a wrestler lol

floyd vs hatton will be a replay of floyd vs gatti. hatton couldnt deal with callozo at 147 when that fight was over you couldnt tell where hattons eyes were but they still give his sorry butt the when. cotto vs floyd wouldnt be much better floyd aint no zab judah , floyd would eat him up also hes to damn smart in the ring

I really respect Max so I'm going to re-look at the tapes on Hatton. I don't think he has a chance against Floyd. Cotto leaves himself way to open. I think Ricky is open to a lot of uppercuts against floyd and if one of then falls in the right place then he won't know what hit him.

Link??????????? he said it at the end of mayweather-gatti talking to bob costas

Link???????????

you can say the same thnig when talking about anybody So what's your point.

The ability to adjust to his opponent's tactics is not a skill? I wouldn't class it as a skill, in the traditional sense. Skills are the ability for your body to do the things your brain tells it to, tactics are all mental.

I don't think Williams is a crtedible threat for Floyd, at least not at this stage. Floyd isn't the number one boxer pound for pound because of his speed, his reflexes, even his skills. He's the number one because of his ability to adjust his tactics to his opponent. Williams would have some success for a couple of rounds but then I think Floyd would adjust and Williams would be completely lost. To beat Floyd you need to be pretty wiley, Williams isn't it. The ability to adjust to his opponent's tactics is not a skill?

i think cotto is a much harder fight than hatton....like someone posted above i keep seeing the same fight as floyd vs. chavez....

You could say the same thing about Cotto as far as Mayweather adjusting to his style. you can say the same thnig when talking about anybody

i think its the opposite. hatton would get torn up. cotto has the best chance out of any welterweight to beat mayweather. I agree that Cotto has a better chance at beating Mayweather than Hatton does but as far as out of any welterweight, I'd have to disagree. I think Williams may have an equally as good chance as Cotto based on his high punching volume, and honestly, his height advantage. You can't discredit what both of those things did for him against Margarito.

on cotto cotto wud get torn up hatton hatton so smothering fighter and throws so many punches, i would favour mayweather but a guy who throws as many punches as hatton overwhelms a defence like mayweather JAJAJAJAJAJAJA U UNDERSTAND THAT????

The reason people are ignoring this is because they saw this scenario before with Jesus Chavez. Now you can go ahead and say, Hatton hits harder, but that's not the point, because like we have seen before, power doesn't matter until it connects. In the first round of the Chavez fight, the punchstats were, Mayweather: 23 of 56, Chavez: 6 of 92. So it's not like Floyd will just be running to make Hatton miss, he dodges and counterpunches. I know I'm not an expert, but I think my analysis makes a lot more sense than (at least what is represented above as) Kellerman's blanket statement.

looks like ppl are gonna ignore this because a expert has given hatton a chance Max Kellerman a expert? :lol1:

evrybody has a chance, plans change when you get hit, but saying that cotto would get torn up is ridiculous.
