Hatton: "I'm Mayweather's Worst Nightmare"

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Did Ricky shrink and I just didn't notice?

I think the size difference between the two fighters makes the question a futile one.

Do you mean the size difference that is the EXACT SAME AS DELAHOYA AND MAYWEATHER?

THAT size difference?

Yes that is exactly what I mean but Mayweather's style and skills allow him to make the transition with less difficulty.

This whole is oscar better than Ricky -then if so then Ricky wont beat floyd thing is pure bull****. I think DLH at this time would beat ricky with not too many problems....but then I think that Ricky will punish floyd. Just because DLH could not beat floyd, does not mean that Ricky wont be able too. It's a different fight with 2 different fighters. Oscar would be too big and too strong for Ricky, something that did not help him with floyd becasue of floyd's speed and stamina, where Ricky will present floyd with completely different problems that DLH could not. He is a much more in your face fighter, and he does without a shadow of a doubt have the right style to give floyd the hardest fight he has ever had. I still call it a 50/50 fight, becuse it would depend on how much floyd wanted to mix it up or run around like a ****in headless chicken as per usual.

There's no reason why this fight cannot be made. Weight cannot be used as an excuse by either camp.

Floyd's last fight was at 154lbs, Ricky's at 140. Logically they should meet at 147.

In the ring for his last fight, Floyd actually came in at 148. Ricky came in at 149. Again, absolutely no reason why Ricky should cry about the weight issue. If anything, come fight night he'll be the bigger fighter (closer to 155lbs) while Floyd will probably lose some pounds or stay the same.

Absolutely no reason why Hatton's camp should cry about the weight. Floyd is no big guy like Collazo and come fight night Hatton will be 'significantly' larger than Floyd.

zab

Yeah... because Mayweather takes a long time to deliver his punches. He is very slow, very inaccurate, and has poor timing.

see the trouble PBF was having with Zab the first half of the fight. hatton would apply pressure throught out the fight. land bombs, yes PBF would counter, but so would hatton. hatton is a stronger puncher than Zab and more accurate. PBF will get hurt. all PBF lovers whip out the hankies.

Where is ricky Hatton?

He was talking alot on saturday night,

We havent heard from him since ellerbe told him to sign the contract.

Do you think they are in negotiations?

Or is Hatton not saying anything?

good objective post. mayweather is gone beat hatton's ass though. everyone knows it. when he is aggressive, nothing he can do.

Sorry, but you need to be corrected. Everyone does not know this. It is not assumed, and by no means should it be. Hatton is at least close to as good as Castillo was in his prime, and did Floyd beat Castillo's ass in either fight? No.

Hatton has faster hands than Castillo however, and that may enable to beat Floyd where Castillo couldn't. Styles makes fights. I say 3 years ago Castillo had a good shot at beating Hatton. But now, the fighter who has the most chance to beat Floyd is probably Hatton.

Who has more chance. Hatton or Winky?

I doubt Floyd would go up to 160 to fight Winky, so I wasn't considering him.

Winky will probably stay up and fight Taylor again, or Pavlik and maybe Calzaghe or Kessler. That's my view.

But either way, due to styles, Hatton would give Floyd as much trouble as Winky if not more...Winky is very flat-footed these days where Floyd's movement could really trouble him.
