What will be Hatton's plan B?

[Mr. Ryan]

Does anyone think Mayweather will have a similar offensive performace like he did with Gatti? For some reason I think he may. I'm getring this feeling. Because Collazo was really tagging Hatton at will. And he really looked to be going down during the 11th or 12th can't remember.

I really do see Mayweather dominating Hatton here. Hatton's movements are easy to time and Floyd will likely just pick Hatton off as he comes in. It won't be as bad as the Gatti fight, Gatti just stood at range and took punishment, whereas Hatton knows how to smother his opponents. I just think stylistically Hatton is made for Mayweather.

Hatton's movements are easy to time

The only person who easily timed Hatton was Collazo in Hatton's worst performance and Collazo still lost. Mayweather is head and shoulders above anyone Hatton has fought but it doesn't mean he will find it easy.

I will point out one thing: If Mayweather attempts to spoil Hatton's inside game by clinching like he did with Castillo he's going to lose.

yeah hatton was sick that day he fought collazo he had herpes or something so he couldnt fight. he only lost cause of jetlag. he had to weight gain which really ****ed up his love handles. anymore?

He didn't lose.

He won on all three judges cards. Noone claimed that Collazo was knocked out, but some people claimed that Collazo won the fight. Very strange this denial of reality stuff.

If he fights Mayweather? If he can not get in there and rough up Mayweather on the inside. I've seen Hatton box well at times. But I don't think he could do it for 12 rounds for a decision. Now he may be able to get in. Becuase Mayweather is very selective in using his jab. So what else should Hatton do to effectively fight Mayweather?

I say he can't go wrong with throwing the jab. And has anybody ever made Mayweather come to them. I would try but Floyd is naturally the on the defense. What yall think? I say Mayweather wins the fight regardless I just want to talk strategy.

As far as strategy is concerned id say Hatton is in a lose-lose situation, many of us know his main tactic is to punch and grab rather the punch and elude,dodge,bob,weave etc... The question is what will he do once he figures out that his getting hit to much and rather then punching and grabbing he's just grabbing, Floyds style technically i think is to fast, fierce and at times to aggressive for Hatton, who will be like a sitting duck when not throwing shots... I see the fight playing out with Hatton starting strong maybe being able to land some shots and tangle Floyd up in the early 2-3 rds, but after that Floyds legs will be warmed and in working condition and will see him really staying away from Hatton but potshoting him all day with left and rights.. I also think Floyd will be more about Power this fight then anything else so we may see some great exchanges with Floyd on the winning end of many of them! I ultimately see Floyd winning an easy UD or by 8th rd stoppage!

i've never heard anyone say hatton won who wasn't from britain, besides the judges/hbo fanboys who just signed hatton to a big contract on hbo. you expect them to say he lost and lose all that marketability? face the facts he lost.

why you all so down on hatton, is it because he's the only brit that can give the american's a run for their money. just face it hatton and mayweather are the best in the division and we'll soon find out who's the best of the best.
