All jokes aside: Will Hatton even see the ninth round?

[K-Nan]

I think the most probable way of stopping Hatton for PBF is on cuts.


Seriously, I think that there is gonna be a lot of ball busting on Hatton's behalf.

Explain this, Brook.

When was the last time mayweather stopped a world-class opponent?

Diego Corrales.

Also. Hatton will make it to the 7th round.

YEAH I THINK HATTONS CHANCE MAY BE TO PULL A HOPKINS ON MAYWEATHER, HEADBUTT HIM BRUTALLY EARLY, THEN BUST HIS BALLS AND THEN WHEN MAYWEATHER IS SCARED AND UNFOCUSED CLINCH AND FLURRY LIKE A ***** WHILE MAYWEATHER BACKS UP EVEN IF HATTONS NOT LANDING **** AND THEN CLICH AGAIN AND HEADBUTT MORE....

What type of **** is this? Now Hatton is the 'Easy way out'? After all that bitching that people did... Oh, I guess that's because Margie's out of the picture, right?

And Hatton will go the whole 12 with Mayweather. He'll scoop up some rounds, too. The only top-flight opponent that Mayweather has completely outclassed was a prime Corralles. All other guys have been able to give him trouble- Castillo, Judah, Delahoya.

yes i agree

but i also think Hatton can win not just give floyd a bit of trouble

i mean to listen to half these guys you would think floyds unstopable which is clearly not the case

Explain this, Brook.

Well, I am pretty sure Hatton's gonna fight his dirtiest, most physical fight against PBF, especially if it's gonna be in England. There is no way he would outbox PBF, so he will try to outmuscle him and try to land as many damaging bodyshots as possible. And ballbusting fits right in.

This is not the fight I wanted.

I would have preferred for Floyd to fight a real opponent: Mosley, Cotto, Williams, etc. And with his performance Saturday night, Vernon Forrest threw his hat in the ring as a legitimate challenge. His length, size and power are substantial.

Ricky Hatton is just not in Floyd's class. Do you think Team Hatton throws in the towel before or after the ninth round?

You ***in muppet!!!!!! u aint got a clue, Hatton is a real opponent why is it u think cotto would have a better chance than hatton ???? your just another one of those arses who hang off floyds ball bags i mean what is it that makes u like floys so much hes not exactley an exciting fighter is he. your a glory supporter u only support him cuz he is ranked p4p No.1 people like u piss me off !!!

Course thats what he tries to do. And if he accomplishes it, all the people who said nothing about Hopkins' rough-house tactics will come out of the woodwork voicing their disgust with Hatton.

Hatton is going to pin PBF against the ropes and throw some body shots..PBF will run like a ***** all night..

He could do it to Kostya, true. Hell, he even did it to the ultra-slick boxer in Juan Urango.

But I have a feeling that Hatton will be eating shoulder and elbow (and maybe a little leather- lol) if he tries to pull those clinching antics again.

What are you talking about? We all know that Hopkins fought like a little punk last Saturday. Does that make it okay for Hatton to do the same?

Make a valid point, please.
