floyd mayweather or ricky hatton?

[ThaHorseman]

i think hatton is an intresting fighter to watch but i have really watch many of fylods fights so i cant really coment but he was boring agenst dhl

I'm assuming you were trying to say that you haven't watched many of Floyd's fights? If that is the case why are you so adament that Hatton would beat him?

Hatton fighting like he did pre-Kostya butchers Floyd in 9. The Hatton of his last couple of fights gets embarassed.

I hate to point it out, but maybe its not Hatton that has changed so much. Perhaps (and this is just a thought), its that his competition has been better. Pre-Kostya he didn't exactly have the toughest competition. Post-Kostya he's run into a few guys who aren't pushovers (although Maussa and Urango aren't exactly special either). He fought a good fight against Tszyu, but other than that what has the guy really shown that would make you say he'd butcher Floyd in 9?

Hatton was given that 'python power' by hulk Hogan, he will try and squeeze mayweather to death during the clinches, thats why im picking hatton to win.

ONce Hatton beat Kostya he hasnt been as scared whenever an opponent has been named to box him. He has said he has cut corners since Kostya. Castillo has bought the fear back again. His own words.

His chin + his high punch output + his stamina. That sould do it.

After his brief stint at 147 however, his stamina seems to be gone. We'll see if he has it vs castillo.

Well I hope that is the case. I'm really hoping he beats Castillo and then gets the fight with Floyd. It would really do a lot for whoever wins. Floyd would beat the 140 champ that he never faced and Hatton would be beating the guy who was considered #1a at 140 when he was there. It would clarify a lot.

I would agree with you if he was moving the same and attempting the same things but they just weren't coming off. Anyone who's seen alot of him will tell you that he's lost the spring in his footwork and his punch output has dropped significantly in his last few fights. He used to throw 100 punches every round with high 40s % accuracy and was constantly on his toes bouncing in and out.

I don't know if it's his lifestyle or a mental thing due to the level of competition that's changed it, although there were a few glimpses of his old self in the Urango fight. It's just my honest opinion that the perpetual motion version of Hatton would get to Floyd eventually.

All this huggin ****....
Only mentioned by a few Yanks whov'e seen Hatton's last couple of fights and missed the last 35 boxing lessons...he's dished out.

Anyway....
In the Urango fight..just before Hatton finished his boxing lesson....Billy Graham said something along the lines of "Stop taking facking chances, your well ahead...blah..blah...."
About the end of round 5..or 6

Then the tactics all changed and Hatton starts holding more...
Anyone tape that fight....check it out would you..I'm sure I heard Graham say something like that.

Just thinking...Billy the preacher has a master plan to dominate the world...
and it involves fighting to your strengthss..
Someone check it out...I'm sure i heard it..

PS..please excuse me I am pissed..
Goodnight...
But what I say above is correct..
