Reasonably impressed with the Paler last night...

He's in your league Brooklyn, just a touch below mine. Unfortunately for me.


Seriously, I liked how he opened Round 6 with a low blow. He is a dirty fighter, but he's a winner. He took a beating for half a round, and he came out to send a message. Then he recommenced boxing. His foot, hand, and body movement is terrific for someone you see described as a pressure fighter. He fights each fight differently.

Agreed. He is a trained fighter. If you hit him low - he hits you low back. That's just the way he is.

Your saying, hatton has great movement, hatton has great footwork, hatton has great handspeed, but Floyd dominates Hatton in every one of those aspects and Hatton in order to win will have to swarm and try to pressure effectivly, and not to box with him.

He wouldn't box, he would have to narrow the gap and throw hard to the body for the first six rounds. He would bully and he would frustrate and he would rough up Mayweather because that's how you beat him. If you stand in front of Mayweather and try to parry and slip and jab you're ****ed. The only way to beat Mayweather is to take him out of his game and make him FIGHT. Hatton has the tools to do it, and I'm not saying he would manage it because Floyd Mayweather is a rare talent. But what I will say is that Hatton - Mayweather would be far from a foregone conclusion whoever your money is on.
