    It's not quite a pick'em, but it also is no forgone conclusion.

      Tszyu was #1 lb4lb according to most (Bert Sugar, Freddie Roach, KOTV, Maxboxing.com, just off top of my head), ahead of Hopkins.

        Not to mention many people put him as one of the very best that division has ever seen, even at the time of the Hatton fight.

        Hatton might not be as good a boxer as Tszyu, but he showed the ability to get the tactics dead right for the fight. Which is why I'd say he has all the chance in the world of being able to get it right and overcome the boxing abilities of PBF if they are to fight.

          All of you Hatton fans are crazy. I just don't know what your looking at, the guy has nothing that can contend with Floyd. His inside game, his outside game, neither one is par with Floyd. Hatton most likey want get a fight, he just isn't talented enough or challenging enough. he should have took his chance when he had it becuase the guy will bring nothing but $$$ to the fight and it will be another lopsided W for Floyd and another reason for some to criticize him for it.

            There's a lot of assumptions there.

            The same kind of assumptions as people made in the warm up to the Hatton vs Zoo fight, where a lot of people left it looking rather ****** for making their bold predictions.

            Hatton does have the tools to beat Floyd and Floyd has the tools to beat Hatton. PBF will quite rightly be going in as favourite. Thats all that needs to be said really. None of the rest of this 'I am right, you are ******' showboating.

              Donald Curry v Lloyd Honeyghan. Curry was p4p no1 and was expecting an easy victory. But the ragamuffin lloyd honeyghan tore the belts off of Curry. Anything can happen in boxing.
              PBF will start as favoirite against Hatton and i dont think Hatton would like it any other way. The pressure of being favourite can get too much.

                Hatton said in the Manchester Evening News yesterday how he'd beat Mayweather!

                Wait there..

                  Hatton has some flaws in his game. But none that could destroy his prospects entirley cause Floyd doesn't have outrageous KO power.

                  For me it's a pick em.

                  I think Hatton has the type of style to really bother Mayweather.

                  Hatton also impressed me in the first few of the Urango fight by sticking and moving a little bit. That **** wouldn't work on Floyd, but Hatton has more to him than many realize.

                  If he mauls Floyd like he did Kostya - that's the way, baby.

                  I could not and would not understimate Ricky Hatton.

                  Anybody who wants to; lets have some betting action when the time comes.

                  That's a great fight for some wagering!!!!

                    "I don't mind telling Floyd how I'm going to fight him and beat him. It'd be up to him to deal with it which I don't believe he could.

                    "I'll jump all over him. He has a longer reach and faster hands (than me), and better combinations and dexterity than anything I've seen in me life.

                    "So it's not rocket science that I shouldn't stand off the guy. He's not exactly the easiest to hit either.

                    "So if I tried to stick-and-move and use side-to-side movements and all that he'd be finding my head more than I'd be finding his head, without a shadow of a doubt. He's just a class act.

                    "But I'm bigger, stronger and fitter than him and cute enough not to go at him in a straight line.

                    "I'll be on him like a rash, smothering his work, stepping around, always looking for any variety of bodyshots and switching upstairs.

                    "He will not be able to operate on my tempo and I don't expect him to last 10 rounds.

                    "He can only beat me on cut eyes, but with those huge gloves he wears because of his bad hands he's not exactly a cutting puncher."
