Hatton: "I'm Convinced I Can Beat Mayweather"

[badnewsbrown]

lmao i cant believe the people defending hatton on here

[squealpiggy]

No his more bothered about defending his ibo belt against Castillo

The IBO belt isn't important. The Ring belt is. And the fight with Castillo is a much better proposition than any fight with Witter.

lmao

You laughed your arse right off!? Is there any bleeding?

Hatton was hurt once in the Urango fight in the fifth round. He wasn't hurt continuously. Baldomir only caught Floyd once or twice but my position is if slow Carlos can trap him once or twice, Richy Hatton could expect to trap him more often.



Urango is bigger and stronger than Floyd Mayweather. I don't see how that is a debatable or controversial statement. Mayweather is a better boxer and a better fighter by far than Urango, but that doesn't make him physically stronger. That was a major factor in making Hatton box as he did nstead of trying to back him up. That's smart fighting, not a sign of weakness.



I completely agree with this, but I wouldn't expect Hatton to even try outboxing Mayweather. It just wouldn't make sense.



I don't have all the answers, but I do know that a rematch with Collazo wasn't approved by HBO. Who knows, maybe he'll get a rematch later. I'd like to see it, for one.



This is where I have to disagree with you, but that's OK. I'm a Hatton fan and I do let fandom speak every now and again. I think Hatton could trap Mayweather at the ropes frequently because in my opinion he is better at that sort of game than anyone Mayweather has fought with the possible exception of Castillo.



I think that Tszyu hits harder than Mayweather and Hatton walked through those. Rick has been dropped once and it was a southpaw right hook that did it. And it was a southpaw right hook that started his bad patch against Collazo in the 12th. I still don't subscribe to the notion that he was "almost knocked out". He started the round strong and finished the round strong and looking in trouble for as much as 20 seconds. It was enough to lose the round but not even close to being KO'd.



I can't see too many people knocking Mayweather out with a headshot anyway, he's just to hard to hit clean. Hatton isn't a big one-shot KO guy (though he has finished numerous fights with headshots, most recently Maussa) but he could wear down Mayweather for a late stoppage. Any win however would be more likely to be a decision win and a close one at that. That's the best case scenario, at least until Floyd shows signs of slipping physically.



No they haven't. The only fighter who is better than Hatton who has tried that tactic was De La Hoya, and in doing so De La Hoya was far away from his own usual game. Castillo came close by making it a rough fight, and that's what Hatton would have to do too.

1)Urango is bigger than Mayweather, im not sure if he is stronger, Mayweather spars 15 mins rounds, is in better condition and hits harder imo

2) Who is better Chavez or Hatton? Corrales or Hatton?

3) De La Hoya didnt swarm mayweather, he backed him up with a jab.

4) Hatton was out on his feet against Collazo

5) Hatton was dropped by tzsyu with a body shot that was given as a low bow, hatton was clearly hurt, shocking reffering, he didnt walk through that punch. And tzsyu was most likely shot that night, i doubt his punches were at the peak of thier power than night, from what i have seen, he looked old, sluggish it was just a horrible performance from what ive seen, tho im not an expert on this fight.

6) Castillo made it close cos mayweather tore his rotator cuff and fought one handed, and still won, (unlike hatton) he gave castillo an immediate rematch and settled the score.

7) What fight have you seen when Hatton traps a guy against the ropes continuously?

8) Now ask yourself what fight have you ever seen, that can make you think Hatton can trap floyd on the ropes?

9) There isnt one, i think you are hoping.

The IBO belt isn't important. The Ring belt is.

Ring Magazine belt doesnt mean **** in hattons case, it doesnt account for him not wanting to fight the best in his divsion, you cant lose the ring belt till you are beaten, hatton can fight bums for enternity and he will still most likely be ring champ. lol

He didnt wanna fight his main rival at 140 in mayweather,

He doesnt wanna fight he main rival at 140 now, Witter, even if it means unifying his own divsion.

[hugh grant]

Look how much debate this fight is getting. Lots of differing opinions on what people think would happen. They should get it on to see if the majority of the opinions is right. Again, we dont want to be talking about this in 20 years time.

[Xcel]

LOL there isnt any debate. there is a few folks who seem intent on dreaming.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Mayweather by 8th round TKO. If not, sooner. Point out all the things you want, Hatton fan. I'm being generous here. Hatton's big ass head would be target practice. And it would fun to watch. Hatton better, (and his fans), look forwards to a tough fight with Castillo.

[squealpiggy]

LOL

Did you "laugh out loud"? Did you really?

[jamesbrown]

are u serious???pbf was not the one without courage get that straight
