People who think Hatton can get inside with PBF and...

Your underrating the hell out of Hatton's movement and footspeed, also his ability to close distance. It's one of his strongest qualities. Be real Hatton's movement and footspeed are no where near the level of PBF's. Thats not to say he doesn't do those things well its just a fact that PBF does them at a higher level than Hatton. Closing the distance is one thing but closing the distance with a bad defence against a great fast counterpuncher doesn't seem like a recipe for success to me. You have to take into account all the punishment Hatton will take trying to close the distance. I feel the punches Hatton will land won't make up for all that he took just trying to land those punches. In closing I agree with what Bob Arum has to say about this fight.

PBF vs Ricky= PBF vs Gatti! shows how much you know about boxing... :nonono:

will do the same thing he did to Tszyu... How the hell can Hatton get close to PBF when backpedaling PBF is faster than sprinting Hatton? Hattons trainer said the complete opposite..he said that Hatton is faster going forward then PBF is going back...but yeh...i dnt really have a view ....im just looking for the answer when the day comes..speculating just gets tedious n boring..especially if it goes on for 4months before the fight actually starts

? how many fighters got inside kostya and hurt him. A. hatton! this fight is not going to be all mayweather! hatton has the skill, the power, and the determintion to get to floyd inside and hurt him! Kosta is no Mayweather..

LOL. What does he do then? Crawl to the other side? Every1 does that besides Marquez-Vasquez who would rather duck to the side and throw combos. Nevermind. This isn't go anywhere. I mean c'mon if u dont believe saying a fighter run makes him seem like a pussy. Then whats there for me to say.

Well what the fuck does he do when he is on the ropes and ducks out....HE RUNS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING, HE SURE AS HELL DOESN'T CRAWL THERE AND HE SURE AS HELL DOESN'T TURN AROUND TO THE BACK OF HIS OPPONENT AND TRADE. I didn't mean it as an insult to begin with. Hmmmmm NO! Its more simple to say to say he avoids contact and simply gets out of there. But to say he runs almost makes it seem like ur calling him a pussy

I hope Hatton has taken into consideration how fast PBF is backpeddling. In sparring Hatton should be facing little backpeddlers. BUt once Hatton gets PBF he should hold onto him like a leech and not let him get away.

It'll probably be like Forrest-Baldo, except Floyd won't throw as much. He will simply duck out and run to the other side of the ring, repeat. I get sick of hearing people say that PBF runs. Explain when have u seen him run??? Or were u trying to be funny? Cause u sure wasn't

it some stage Hatton will catch up to him but can he fire in more than single shots Man I wish u'd get rid of the ugly pic.

PBF vs Ricky= PBF vs Gatti! nice one oh hang on a min weight Hatton is nothin like gatti so i think it goes more like this PBF vs Ricky= PBF vs Gatti = you dont know anythin thats better

will do the same thing he did to Tszyu... How the hell can Hatton get close to PBF when backpedaling PBF is faster than sprinting Hatton? I think PBF will win a boring and easy unanimous decision, unless he decides to change his safety-first style and go toe-to-toe with smaller Hatton. Side Note: When I was watching the Vazquez vs. Marquez and Morales vs. Diaz fights last night, I was thinking, "These guys actually spend most of their energy on puching. In the future, I hope these guys will get paid as well as so-calleld ELITE boxers who spend more energy on running than on punching." :boxing: Your underrating the hell out of Hatton's movement and footspeed, also his ability to close distance.

every other fighter that floyd has faced has been able to put floyd up against the ropes, mainly because floyd backs up and goes there himself, but hatton should have no problem with getting on the inside with floyd. the question is, can hatton keep him there? or will floyd hop out to the side and go to the other side of the ring, again and again........................

Cannot compare KT at all , he was 36 stands in front , his legs are anchored and he is very slow compared to Floyd , no comparison , closest comparison os Collazo and we know what happened there . Yeah...Ricky won. PBF vs Ricky= PBF vs Gatti! Ridiculous. On his absolute best day, Gatti would've been lucky to beat Hatton.

Because of Hatton's characteristics (a "brawler", but a fast one, throwing with angles) Floyd will have to throw more punches than he did in a long time. He can win, because he is a great fighter and because Hatton is too often open for counters. However I think (and obviously hope) that this is going to be a GREAT fight, if PBF is going to be in a FOTY, this is it. I dont even care who wins, because as much as I like Floyd in the ring, Hatton looks such a likeable honest guy out of the ring (remember him talking about Zoo's reign in front of the whole of Manchester Arean? great moment) I look forward to this, I am happy as a kid

PBF vs Ricky= PBF vs Gatti!

mayweathers defense is unreal, hatton is going to have to come at him all night and if he can't hurt him try and keep floyds output to a minimum, its what he does best tho, but against floyd? can't wait to find out

Also, why does everyone always assume that Floyd would get killed on the inside? He's a tremendous in-fighter. Even when Hatton gets close I think Floyd could win that battle most of the time

will do the same thing he did to Tszyu... How the hell can Hatton get close to PBF when backpedaling PBF is faster than sprinting Hatton?

In the future, I hope these guys will get paid as well as so-calleld ELITE boxers who spend more energy on running than on punching." :boxing: 1st off to say that Floyd runs is dumb because he doesnt. I never understood how a guy could be undefeated if he runs the whole fight and only throws one punch at a time like you guys say. Its impossible. 2nd, Floyd is not the bigger man. Dont let the weight class stuff fool you. The reason why Hatton is taking this fight is because they know he's bigger then Floyd but is smaller then everyone else at WW. Those same guys you talked about last night are not to be praised while guys like Floyd get ripped. The same fans bitchin about how brutal it was are the same fans talkin about how its so great to watch them over boxers. Those guys are pros and have no kind of D at all. They should not get paid as much as a complete boxer.

Hatton will be able to get inside on Mayweather. That is what he does.
