Mayweather Says He'll Kick Hatton's Ass...(suprise)lol

[cortdawg25]

Actually, the guy has shown he can do more than talk, don't ya' think?

And regarding Hatton, he's proven he's a high output forward moving guy who can do it all night long. While PBF has equally proven he's a high output, elusive guy, who can do it all night long.

Difference is this ...... PBF will prove to be too elusive a target for Hatton. PBF's conditioning allows him to move quickly and choose his shots for 12 twelve fast rounds. While Hatton's best chances can only be realized by getting a guy to remain stationary, if even for a few seconds.

That won't happen.

also hatton only moves quickly in spurts, he throws his lil flurries and then grabs and holds on to catch is breath, then throws another flurry

Hatton has to prove he can even compete. Since when does Floyd have to prove anything, especially in regards to Hatton.

Why cant Hatton compete? He has competed well with anyone he has ever fought. He competed with Kostya and Castillo and wasnt out of his depth. You might argue that PBF is better than those 2. Well...maybe he is. He will have to prove that, because at this minute we dont know.

If by kicking ass he means barelly squeak out a questionable decision, then I coule believe that.

I couldnt agree with you more, Mayweather couldnt handle Hatton, Hatton will be all over him like white on rice on a paper plate in a snowstorm.

Mayweather is all talk and all flash and no punch

cant believe people think hatton can beat flloyd. hatton has no defense whatsoever and floyd would counter pot shot him to death and then take him out rounds 7-9 i will bet my life on that.

I think it will be an interesting fight because Hatton's tactics will keep Mayweather closer than most other opponents. On the other hand I think Mayweather wins UD or TKO (cuts) because Hatton really doesn't work behind a jab and if you come straight in against Mayweather he can pick you off and move away. Hope this actually happens and we can end all of the speculation. Do people think this will be at 147 definitely because I think Mayweather can still make 140 pretty easily.

Floyd has to prove he can compete just as much as hatton. Floyd needs to be a big boy and step up and fight some real challengers, and by that I mean challengers that arent WAY past their prime

No offence taken.

I said Oscar CAN beat PBF and most saw that he can. He is just not in his best shape, nor prime to do it and cannot go 12 rounds chasing Mayweather. Hatton however can.

Your talking apples and oranges comparing Oscar and Hatton. It's not the chasing that's going to beat Floyd. It's the ****ing jab, which Ricky does not have. When Oscar threw the jab, Floyd had no answer but to hop back.

When Ricky charges in, Floyd's stepping to the side and working him. Collazo did it once he caught rhythem and Floyd will do it from the start.

Ricky's performance was pretty good but if he's not at 140, his bullying isn't as effective. The only chance Ricky does have now is that Floyd has turned into a complete pot-shotter instead of his former Combination throwing self. Can the potshots keep Hatton off? I still think so. And I don't think the fight will be particulary close.

Hmm...I happen to think moving up in weight to fight albeit an older Oscar De La Hoya is about more of a challenge than moving up in weight to fight Luis Collazo AND MOVING BACK DOWN to face Juan Urango and Castillo.

Castillo was more past his prime than Oscar, is that the REAL CHALLENGERS your referring to?

Hatton has no business fighting anyone other than Vivian Harris at 140, Mayweather, Cotto, Wiliams, Margarito, Clottey, Mosley, or Cintron at 147.

Those are THE only acceptable fights he should take. I don't want to hear "I need another 2-3 fights before Mayweather." If your going to say that then don't mutter his god damn name in ANY INTERVIEW.

Good post. I agree with your thoughts on this match-up.

I concur that. All we want from PBF and Hatton is for an exciting fight with differing styles. Is that too much too ask for? We want to know if Hatton can beat PBF and vice versa.
