For you personally? De La Hoya or Hatton?
I'm sure we'll be hearing "both" plenty but which of the two personally would you be the least excited about watching?
Even as a big Hatton fan, I've gotta say that I think Hatton/PBF II would be more exciting as a spectacle but less exciting as a contest. I give Oscar a much bigger chance than Ricky to beat Floyd (which is bigger than Ricky's 0%) - although a Wembley showdown with a roughhouse cockney ref could see Hatton shade it if he can stay on his feet, that wouldn't be fair, and would be horrible to watch.
I gave their first fight to Oscar by 1 round when I watched it first time round (drunk) and then to Floyd by one round when I re-watched it (sober).
Based on the fights i believe DLH gave PBF a better fight. However, i think both will get a rematch with mayweather. Mayweather-Hatton is supposed to be happening spring 2009 at wembley stadium. Mayweather-DLH will be close again
i see where you guys are coming from but you have to admit that if the fight takes place at wembley stadium it would be an awesome spectacle. 100 000 hatton fans roaring for him might even imtimidate floyd mayweather!
at the minute though i agree that the de la hoya fight promises to be more exciting boxing wise. just being a brit though, the hatton mayweather rematch seems appealing. i know id be there
The Hatton rematch is more pointless IMO. Ricky will probably get KO'd again. Ricky has no business at 147 much less with Mayweather. DLH has a decent chance at beating Mayweather. Don't think he will but yeah...
To be honest, Hatton/Mayweather isn't as interesting. De la Hoya, the way he boxed the first half, had a chance at winning. There was no stretch of time in Hatton/Mayweather that left me thinking that Hatton could pull it out. Not really. So, De La Hoya gets the nod.
For anyone saying that he got roughed up by Steve Forbes, I say that De La Hoya also swept all the rounds on one judges scorecard. This is boxing. You get punched. It happens.
Hatton/Mayweather is less exciting to me, personally.
Hatton because to Mayweathers credit he really did KO him. The Oscar rematch was bound to happend from the start. You dont have the biggest fight of all time(money wise) close and not expect a rematch. The fans made that rematch up for them.............
