    Mayweather - Hatton is pick'em

    Mayweather? The total package. Fast feet, fast footwork, tremendous counterpunching, tremendous stamina, and discipline. He is a rare blend.

    Hatton? Fast legs, fast hands, good leverage, good punch selection, and a tremendous will.

    I still think Hatton vs Mayweather at 140 is a good bout. Why? Because Hatton has fast feet and can get inside on you. Mayweather will kill you if you stand in front of him and try to nail him. But fast feet and the taking away of leverage will change that. (Duran v Buchanan, Dempsey v Willard, Frazier v Ali etc etc)

    Hatton showed he is capable of this kind of fight to press Mayweather. I think it is the toughest fight for Mayweather out there.

    Hatton is of course a very dirty fighter. You hit him low, he hits you low. Stagger him and he hits you low. Hes trained that way. He likes a tough fight.He did it to Tsysu and his low punch to me turned the tide. But then Ricky is a very tough guy....

    Tremendous variables...this fight really needs to get made.

      I say no way it'll happen at 140. My pick of course would be Floyd. Hatton applies a lot of pressure and would take some early rounds, but Floyd would outbox Hatton late, and win a decision.

        This fight is certianly not a pick'em.
        Floyd would probably be the 3-1 favorite if not more.

          A fight with Hatton at 140 is a tougher fight than the Oscar fight imo.

            To me, it is a very tight fight.

            So far each of them have demonstrated that they have the ability to adapt their tactics to get the win. Even if its messy, even if its boring...they get the win and nobody has been able to overturn that yet.

            Hatton has done is on a higher level to date (with his win over Tsu) and Maywhether has done it on more levels (different weights) and perhaps more comfortably than Hatton thus far.

            I dont think either would destroy the other. I'd favour Hatton just because of personal preference and because I think that his blanket-style and his ridiculous heart would wear down Maywhether in the end. But I'd certainly not bet my mortgage either way.

              LOL, sure Hatton's win over 35year old, surgery recovering, 9 rounds in 2 years Tzu is better than PBF beating prime Corrales, Castillo, Hernadez. Who on Hatton's rsume other than Tzu would be anywhere close to even odds against Judah or DLH?

                Are you serious?

                PBF will rip Hatton apart at 140 IMO. PBF can do snipping from the outside and can ruin Hatton from the inside if he wanted to, and Hatton can oly use his clinching to stop PBF's hands.

                  I think your really under-estimating Hatton's clinching ability.

                    Floyd at a weight he has shown to excel at vs Floyd at a weight he is totally unproven at.

                    ....

                    Does that mean you think Hatton is a better fighter than DLH?
