Hey, man... It's just a hunch (I could be wrong). But the way I (for)see it, as did Leonard against Duran, PBF will try to box, but Hatton will not give him the proper distance. He will 'cut off the ring' and force PBF into the same retreating defensive mode Leonard was forced into.
That fight became a classic thriller because of Leornard's subscription to the concept that 'the best defense is a good offense.' Leonard prepared for a boxing match but Duran's relentless assaults turned it into a back alley "brawl in Montreal." I think Hatton will do the same.
But again, I could be wrong...
In all honesty, I think Floyd subscribes to this too, maybe not to the same extrent that Leonard did. He boxes and moves, but it seems like he doesn't miss very many openings that he sees to throw a counterpunch.
That is why I don't understand when the runner label is attached to Floyd.
Hatton vs. Mayweather is the next Duran vs. Leonard I.
PANITA NO CREO. I DON'T THINK RICKY IS GONNA BE ABLE TO DO MUCH, FLOYD IS JUST GONNA BOX, HE SAID HE WOULD BRAWL WITH OSCAR AND HE DIDN'T.Hey, man... It's just a hunch (I could be wrong).

Mayweather-Hatton for me, just because I am a Floyd fan. It will probably be the least exciting of those three though.
Calzaghe-Kessler will be a great fight, unification of the 168 division between two undefeated badasses.
Cotto-Mosley will likely be pretty exciting too.
Why the hate for Showtime? No Mayorga-Vargas?
Hatton vs. Mayweather is the next Duran vs. Leonard I.
it would be great, but mayweather will never brawl like leonard did. im interested in this fight to see wether hatton is able to make mayweather fight on the inside.
also kessler - calzaghe im also really expecting it, cos i recently watched calzaghe - lazy and after that i was really, really impressed with joe. he is an amazing boxer, and i know nothing of kessler so i dont know what to expect.
and cotto - mosley doesn´t need comments, cos this is going to be an amazing boxing fight. i really dont know what will happen, but i think that based on both fighters skills, i think mosley should win, but we never know.
Hatton vs. Mayweather is the next Duran vs. Leonard I.

Cotto vs Mosley No Question! :banana:
Then Hatton vs Mayweather and the Calzaghie vs Kessler.
I Like bothe Miguel and Shane and cant see how it could fail to be a bad fight whoever wins
