Ricky will probably beat Floyd, Will over Skill

[Tusc9969]

Hatton's people say this fight will be like Duran vs Leonard1..fighter beating the slick boxer.
Some other people think it might be like Meldrick Taylor vs Chavez...another fighter beating the quick boxer at the last minute.
But, I beg to differ..
Duran beat Leonard in their 1st bout because Leonard took a risk by fighting Duran's fight.
Same thing with Taylor vs Chavez..Taylor wanting to show his "machismo" by squaring off with Chavez in the last round was another mistake.

This won't happen to Floyd. Why? Mayweather never fights anybody's fight or takes risks, he comes in with his usual style , sticks to his game plan, makes his opponent fight his fight and plays it safe till the end of the fight.
Only thing going for Hatton is his Heart and Desire. And this by no means will be like Gatti vs Floyd. Floyd fought a walking dead man that night. Gatti that night had no will like in his other fights and quite frankly didn't put up much of a fight.
Prediction:
Floyd's style will be too much for Hatton..though Hatton's desire and heart will keep him going. A lot of misses, wide punches and clinches by agressive Hatton. Sure, hatton might win a few rounds but that's it.
Floyd will play it safe by fighting him on the outside using his reach, speed and pot shot routine. Floyd winning by decision that's if Floyd doesn't stop him first by tko due to cuts.
Hatton is capable of beating Floyd...in a phone booth!
But in the ring, Floyd will have enough space to Pot Shot and move in the fight. Floyd wasn't ****** by taking this fight.

lol yea you can never tell these days every other post seems to be an american who knows nothin acting like his opinion is valid and actualy means somthin

Mayweather is no where near as as strong as Hatton

No where near as good an inside fighter, Rickys won all his fights on the inside, if floyd was so good why does he dance on the outside instead of giving what the fans want which is getting involved. Plus for any fighter they have both fought, Ricky has beaten the fighter more convincingly on the inside than Mayweather has done by dancing about

How can mayweather be more experienced when hattons fought more fights

As for more accustomed to huge events, sorry mate but u have no idea. Floyd fights infront of his 4 friends and his family, Ricky fills arenas

as for your other points, I agree

Floyd has everything over Hatton deal with it. The only inside fight Hatton has is hugging and hitting.

What fighter? A shot Castillo? Get real.

Collazo funked Hatton up and had him discouraged by the 8th round when Hatton wasn't coming forward with his usually gusto. By the 12th round Collazo almost had Hatton out on his feet and if it were a 15 round fight, NO DOUBT Collazo would've knocked Hatton out.

Collazo is 40 percent the fighter that Mayweather is at 147.

Mayweather is going to bust Hatton up. By the 6th round, Hatton will have eaten so many straight right hands and hooks that he won't be coming forward anymore. By the 10th round they're going to stop the fight by TKO for Mayweather.

Ricky Hatton is short-armed and won't be able to touch Mayweather with those shots that he leaps in cause Floyd will roll those all night long and then counter Hatton's face.

The truth is, MAYWEATHER IS THE BIGGER AND STRONGER FIGHTER HERE. No doubt on this one, Mayweather has honed his body to perfection at the higher weights he fights around these days. His body is stronger and more muscular than the short-limbed and stocky Hatton and people will be surprised when they see how easily Floyd pushes back at Hatton. Once Hatton realizes this, he will fold as he will have absolutely no chance.

You British bozos better break out your kleenex tissues for all those tears. Your idol, Ricky "the Hugman" Fatton will be put in his place as the bum who beats up on past their prime fighters that he is. His limited style will be taken apart by the master boxer that Floyd is and I'm looking forward to most of these fake boxing fans from Britain (really Calzaghe and Hatton nutriders) finally vanish.

The difference is that Mayweather is full of will himself. It's not like Roy Jones who caved under pressure. Mayweather isn't just a boxer, he's a fighter. The skill is there with Mayweather and so is the will. To me, Mayweather belongs up there with Ray Leonard as one of those guys who could overcome the will of another man with his own, with skill to match.

Exactly. These British bozos don't realize the honed fighting machine that Mayweather is. Watch him closely and you'll see how comfortable and professional he ALWAYS is in the ring. In actuality, his mental toughness is his greatest asset. Regardless of the situation he is always calm and tactical. The man has never as much as been rattled and he's had a 160lb. Oscar throwing flurries and left hooks that wizzed by only inches from his face. He's been in there with super-fast Judah countering him like a panther and was able to stay calm and impose HIS WILL during the course of the fight.

The notion that a primitive fighter like Hatton will have too much will for a boxing virtuoso like Floyd is laughable and shows the true extent of boxing knowledge ingnorance that these British bozos showcase all the time on these forums.
