I've predicted he'll beat Mayweather since 2004
I've watched him as an amateur chasing everyone who was running away from him, I've seen him in the gym before the Tszyu fight working at closing the gap, and my opinion is that Hatton will move forward faster than Mayweather can move backwards. His levers and footspeed are awesome, always have been, trust me
Hatton has the left hand work to take advantage of Floyd dropping his right shoulder whenever he goes toe-to-toe, and if Floyd backs off to the ropes Hatton will work the ribs and switch upstairs in a compact way (head in Floyd's chest, side-stepping etc), basically if Floyd backs off to the ropes which I believe he may have to, he might not get off them...
Hatton is an immovable object, with balance and tempo to boot, quick punches on top of that, and will NOT punch in bunches as is the mistake most Floyd opponents make - Floyd is far too elusive to punch in bunches and his counters too untelegraphed
Hatton is a master at threading singles through
Floyd's leads are also brilliantly untelegraphed, which is why Hatton will feint his way in when he has to
I believe 100% in Hatton's skills and talent and always have done, since he was a young boy. I've been mocked and laughed at on this board since 2004 when telling you all that Hatton would outbox Mayweather, but I stand by it
You predicted Lacy and Kessler to KO Calzaghe...and you said Calzaghe would'nt last 2 rounds.
An unpetrified Lacy would have taken the usual Calzaghe, who was extremely wild
The foot speed is what a lot of people are overlooking. Comparing Hatton to Gatti, Castillo, or Chavez is just stupid. Mayweather has never fought anybody like Hatton period.
in what hatton fights do you all see this uncanny footspeed that hatton seems to posses,in the urango fight?that shouldn't count especially since urango is extra slow. a good body shot from urango stoped that foot speed
May I ask a question?
While you were confident that Hatton would beat mayweather in 2004, why did Hatton turn down a fight offer in 2004? Stating that mayweather was a fight , "style-wise", that they were not ready for?
And then they turned down another fight offer in 2005?
And then another fight offer in 2006?
Can you please help me understand why Team Hatton would say they weren't ready if they really were?
That was Frank Warren/Ray Hatton, not Billy Graham/Ricky Hatton
I remember Nigel Benn advised Team Hatton to fight Mayweather in 2004, because if he lost he could learn from it and come back (like Benn did after Watson)
But I still think Hatton would have beaten Mayweather in 2004

hate on hater...fuck the peterson bros we dnt need n e more fake floyds they make our sport look bad
Fake Floyds? ROFL
You have not watched a single Peterson fight in your life.. admit it jackass.. otherwise you wouldnt have made such a dumbass comment
If anything, the sport needs more guys like the Petersons. All out action.. they fight more like Juan Diaz than PBF..

Where's the flaw? You're saying Floyd is not taller than Ricky? Not bigger than Ricky? Uhm.... it;s not that hard buddy.. Ricky has fought at 140 his whole career and he's a midget as well.. what exactly are you disputing here?

the fact that because someone is taller, stronger, has better reach means so much it doesn't the better fighter will win on the night, and if you think thats floyd then fine but stop going ott about it, the man isn't bullet proof.
