Official - Hatton v Mayweather! who you got???

[squealpiggy]

That just from your gut, or do you think Hatton has the right style?
Hatton doesn't have the kind of stiff jab that one needs to beat Mayweather.

It's a bit of both. I'm convinced that the only way to beat Mayweather is to make it into a rough fight. Everyone boxes with him for long periods of time and then comes a cropper. Hatton's default style when the chips are down is a rough and ready tough brawler. If Hatton has that as a gameplan and gets hurt he won't stop throwing punches like other fighters have, he'll throw more just because that's what he does.

At the same time Floyd is an incredible boxer, but I don't think he'll have his night against Hatton. I think he's going to lose this encounter, and I think it will be by decision. I can't see either guy knocking the other out.

I think you're right that there's a good chance that Hatton will deserve to win a decision, but I think he will have to KO Mayweather to win, because of the biased judges.

I don't think that is true. Mayweather doesn't have the backing or the power to arrange a screw-job. GBP is the power behind this fight and they would rather see Hatton win to set up a fight with De La Hoya than see a victory for Floyd. If anyone would get screwed it would be Floyd. I also think that unbiased judges will be influenced by the 12,000 fans that Hatton brings along (that's my prediction for his attendance) who will erupt in a chorus of cheers every time Hatton lands a punch.

I think it's going to be a reasonably tight yet reasonably clear victory for Hatton (ie close in rounds but not in spirit).

And I would definitely see Floyd winning any rematch.

yeah this collazo guy killed 3 of his sparring partners how did hatton walk thru his firepower. seriously mega props to him on surving this deadly assassin.

Hatton is one of about 15 men who have weathered Collazo's tremendous power...

yeah those men wore body armor and rode into the ring in tanks do you forget? nothing stops collazo nothing. you can only hope to contain his straight left hand which he calls louies lethal left.

He learned it from Bruce Lee...

Did you know he's also 6'5" and he came into the ring on fight night at 200 lbs?

hatton actually died in the 12th round but somehow found a way to fight back the pain and get up and finish the fight. what a comeback. if you die and revive yourself in the middle of the round i think you should win thats just my opinion.

So that's why he was holding on for "dear life" in the last round...

[satori555]

yes and collazo rescued him and held him up like the considerate young chap that he is and collazo gets punished? what a world i tell you

[Crosdale]

I'm putting a minimum of 5k on mayweather, 1/2 best odds so far, but all the Brits will back Hatton which should bring the odds down

Funny stuff.

I am trying to think of what substantive advantage that Hatton will bring into this fight.

Really? None.
