    I guess you know PBF personally and he told you the statement in the bold because honestly everything in your post is COMPLETE BULL****.

    Was Mosley and Hatton not sure they could beat PBF when they turned PBF down for fights?

      Whatever. He's not half as good as Floyd, and Hatton couldn't beat him decisively. Don't pick Hatton to win, you already humiliated yourself by betting everything you had on Zab.

        Floyd would be obvious favourite going into the fight but Ricky's chances are vastly underrated. On the night of the fight when 15,000 brits are shouting Hatton's name and drowning out Floyd's mum and Leonard Ellerbe or whoever shows up to watch Floyd Mayweather fight then the odds may well shorten.

It seems to me every Floyd fight people say that you have to pressure Mayweather, but thats not a good strategy because it's always failed. Corrales failed, Chavez failed, Dlh, Castillo failed ( the first fight was his, but Mayweather had one arm,) Baldomir failed.

          The guy who had the best success against floyd for 4 rounds was Judah, and he didn't bull-rush. Dlh had success when he jabbed Mayweather back, but Hatton cant do that.
          My observations exactly.

          I feel Oscar had the best chance to beat Floyd. He picked the catch weight,
          the gloves, the ring size, and got the most money.

          He even had Floyd Sr. training him to a point, aaaand.............
          studied Floyds fight films.

          He still came up with a loss.

          How the hell did that happen?

            On the night of the fight when 15,000 Brits have given up hope by the 8th round and are as quiet as Gatti fans, then what will the odds be? I'm just hoping Floyd doesn't put it in cruise control and roll to a UD instead of giving Hatton the beating he deserves. We'll see if Hatton thinks the ass whooping Floyd gives him is exciting.

              Yeah, the only time I saw Floyd fighting like a mad surgeon, was against Corrales. Corrales pushed the wrong buttons and got dismantled.

              Floyd is well aware of his own strength, in MO.

                I wouldn't say it's a pick 'em fight.
                I would give the advantage to Mayweather
                But wouldn't say he is a clear favorite.

                  He's pretty pissed at Hatton, so he may very well fight like a " Mad Surgeon."

                    He did say something pretty ****ty to get Floyd pissed.

                    Something tells me this could be a repeat of RJJ vs Vinny Paz.

                      The fact that you're picking one fighter over the other means you are picking a clear favorite. If you wouldn't favor one fighter over the other, it would be pick'em. Why are you trying to complicate things?
