Hatton: "I Have The Style To Beat Mayweather"

[kayjay]

But the reality is that a review of the P4P history will show you what has been successful.

The past few P4p's have been Mayweather, Hopkins, Jones, Whitaker, Oscar, Toney, and Chavez.

That's a bunch of different styles right there. Thrown in Tyson (who was also rated #1 p4p) and you have the full array.

Good examples of SRL-Duran and Ali-Frazier.... Hey, quick question: what happened in the rematches? Who emerged as the better fighters?

Well, pretty much everyone ranks Duran p4p above Leonard, and the second fight didn't mean half as much as the first. Even the biggest Leonard fan admits that, as does Sugar Ray himself. Frazier came out pretty damn even with Ali head-to-head. Ali lasted longer and beat Foreman, which makes the difference between them.

-he didn't outpoint hatton? ok he won 7 rounds maybe 6 but the knockdowns cancel each other out so he retains his title. do you award rounds based on the amount of hugging hatton does cause then he wins them all!
-hatton was clearly out on his feet and had to grab collazo like a cheater to stop from going down
-he was matching collazo punch for punch...........ok now i see how you have hatton winning the fight if you think that. prob gave hatton some 11-9 rounds just cause hes so aggressive and tough

That's not illegal. The legit KD was the difference in that fight. Hatton won fairlt if also barely.

i think hatton is ****, but he did beat collazo, the knockdown was the difference...

[satori555]

collazo knocked hatton down more legit than hatton knocked him down. doesn't matter that the ref got it wrong. how about you and me get it right and call it like it is.

[Ironside]

its not like mayweather has always won shut out UD's, dont you remember he almost got Knocked down by Judah? i thought it was a knockdown, his hand touched the floor which means its legit, except the ref didnt see it i guess. now back to whos gonna win, i think Hatton is gonna win, not because i hate mayweather-hes one of my favorite fighters, but i really do think he has the rough style to beat mayweather, his style is ruggish and very hard to handle, he has never vsed anone as fast as mayweather, but mayweather has never vsed such a cheap fighter.

This is going to be a great fight, Hatton has a good chance of beating Floyd.

[OptimusWolf]

Floyd did get knocked down by Judah - the ref missed it but it was a kd. I don't remember Hatton getting knocked down by Collazo, but he was rocked in the last round.

wtf does this matter anyway.

You are a ****ing gimp. Hatton WON the fight. The judges scores some of the closer rounds to Hatton for his aggression and volume of punches. Hatton knocked Collazo down with a punch. That is a legit knockdown. Hatton was unsteady in the 12th, but he wasn't put down by a PUNCH. Hatton WASN'T out on his feet. Otherwise he would have been finished off. Instead, he got up and traded Collazo punch for punch until the final bell. Perhaps you should go and watch a replay.

Alot of retired fighters are to modest these days. Leonard to me is more of a slick brawler then a slick boxer. He didnt fight Hearns toe to toe because of his speed reach power and height advantage. Leonard boxed him and waited patiently for that hard shot to come. Leonard then landed the hard shot and won. Leonard also boxed hagler and went in there toe to toe at times. But enough said this is where I am trying to get at


SRL vs Duran. Leonard was fighting durans fight. Everyone back then told him if he was sure to fight this way. Leonard knew it was dangrous but did anyways and as a result lost. In the 2nd fight Leonrd boxed. Duran didnt like how Leonard was disrespecting him from what I saw. Duran was being ot boxed because leonard this time fought him the way he should have. I rank Leonard above Duran.
