Mayweather: "Ricky Hatton is Getting Knocked Out!"

[toyboy33]

Christ.

I'm picking Floyd by decision, and I think he's going to continue his damn outboxing routine and outclass Ricky in that regard.

But this is just getting so ridiculous.

I agree with this post.

Right and you're also not taking into consideration that Oscar has never been a pressure fighter, and he uses his boxing skill to set up punches from the outside..........focusing on his defense first.

Hatton leads with his chin, and takes to give. I also don't know where you had to throw in the fact he fought "hall of famers" because that doesn't have anything to do with the basic action of being able to take a punch.

And Oscar wasn't only floored by Quartey........he was floored off a love tap from Hopkins, and several times early in his career by fighters who aren't close to being considered anywhere near elite.

I just don't understand how Oscar could be considered having a better chin than Hatton.........it doesn't make any sense especially seeing the difference in their respective fight styles.

This Dios character sounds like a damn broken record. It is really starting to irk me a little bit.

The key for Hatton is fitness - he needs to be in perfect physical condition well before the fight, and to become comfortable fighting at 147. I think it would be better for Hatton if they fought at 140, because he may be slightly faster at that weight, and his problem will be catching up with Mayweather.

I'm worried that Mayweather may be too fast for him, but if Hatton's in his best shape PBF won't be able to escape him. But if Hatton's not 100% perfectly fit, Mayweather will win a decision.

He is always in shape. Sometimes better then others but he is always prepared to go 12 hard rounds so I do not know what you are talking about.

With all due respect: I think there's a difference in being floored by Ike Quartey and being floored by Eamonn Magee.

The knockdown with Magee was more a case of Hatton being caught off balance, Ricky wasn't hurt at all and was quickly back on his feet.

Gatti was supposed to go down long before that, fact is Mayweather has weak, fragile hands and he's too afraid to unleash at full throttle. Gatti got caught with everything, every punch in the book you name it. Mayweather throws arm punches that's why he can't knock anybody out, in the beginning of his career he was a KO artist but not anymore, Mayweather isn't knocking anybody out.

You dont get it. just wait until the fight. Then you will see what i am talking about. Floyd can punch, just not as hard as he did in the smaller weight classes. he could have stopped oscar if he wanted to when oscar fadded and got tired. Instead of keeping the heat on oscar, he just kept boxing smart. oscar wasent hurt but when you fade like oscar and keep getting hit when you are tired, then you can get stopped. and the weight classes dont really matter here because floyd and hattan are basically coming from the same weight so when floyd hits hatton, they will do alot more damage compared to when floyd hit oscar.

What's stopping Hatton from coming in at 141 or 142 if he wants to? That is what PBF did vs Oscar. He just came in around the same weight as he did for baldo.

The same way Hatton caught Collazo. Fair enough.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Hatton supporter, but in the later rounds against Urango and Colazzo, Ricky seemed tired. He seemed a bit more energetic in his fight with Tszyu. He's always in very good shape and prepared to go 12 rounds, but to defeat someone as fast as Mayweather he has to be in great shape.

It is possible for Hatton to defeat Mayweather, but requires that he be at his maximum strength and fitness level.
