Ricky: I'll do my talking in the ring!

[PRboxingfan]

Combo? You do know he's fighting Floyd, right?

Yes, the combo's will be delivered by Floyd. Hatton is the one who doesn't put his punches together that often and, when he does, it's rarely anything more than a two-punch combo. I've never seen Ricky throw a three-punch combo. I've seen PBF go to town, tho.

Ricky says he'll do his talking in the ring. We'll see how much talking he can do with two fat lips.

PBF DOES ALOTA TALKING WITH HIS FAT LIPS.....SO IT MAY HELP RICKY....LOL HAHAHAHHA

Take a look at one of the many Hatton videos on Youtube, he's combo crazy.

Floyd hasn't been a combination puncher for years.

Really? I suggest you watch the PBF-DLH fight again, then, because Floyd paints Oscar with 5 and 6 punch combos a few times in the fight.

As for Ricky, since I've started watching his fights (I've seen his last 8 fights), Ricky doesn't really throw more than two punches at a time. Every once in a while, he might throw three, but that's once a fight, maybe. All he does is hook and hug.

Take a look at the clips. You're just churning out the generic crap that you've read on here.

Floyd only puts combos together sporadically these days, especially when he's in with a live opponent. Even some of his most ardent fans have admitted it.

Floyd was fighting a guy who outweighed him by 4 pounds at weigh-in and by more than 13 on fight night and he still put a whoopin' on that ass. How do you think he's going to fare with a slower, less powerful opponent? I'd be surprised if Ricky was able to win two rounds against PBF.

I love Ricky and think he's a great person. You can't listen to his interviews and not like the guy. That, however, has nothing to do with his skill level. The same goes for PBF, I can't stand that ****sucker, but his skills pay the bills, and that's all there is to it. A fighter's chances do not change because you like or dislike him. I'd love to see PBF get his clock cleaned, especially by a fighter whom I like, like Ricky, but the fact of the matter is that Ricky's style is taylor-made for PBF and his skills are vastly inferior to Mayweather's.

BTW, I'm not regurgitating anything that I've read on here. I've formed my opinions by what I've seen each fighter do in the ring. I know that come December 9, PBF has a much, much higher probability of still being undefeated as does Ricky.

how do you figure that Hatton is tailor made for Mayweather?

Mayweathers two contraversial decisions came against fighters who pressurised him, JCC and DLH.

DLH gassed out and lost the fight in the last 4 rounds, and JCC should have won the first fight.

If anything, Mayweather is tailor made for Hatton..

You think Mayweather is going to be able to shoulder roll out the way of body shots? He wont sit on the ropes like he did against DLH.

Hatton can win by body shotting Mayweather from round 1.

You'll be surprised when in the late rounds, Mayweather gets stopped.

I here what you're saying and Floyd will be favourite.

I've been watching Hatton fight for 6-7 years now and I just don't think your take on him as a fighter is correct. He's going to bring plenty for Floyd to think about.

There are lots of subtleties to his work that some of you guys just can't see (or refuse to). His speed is also vastly under-rated on here, probably due to the lacklustre nature of some of his recent performances.

We're going to see every aspect of Floyd's game tested in this fight, especially his stamina. He's going to need to throw more than his usual 400+ punches to have a chance of keeping Hatton off him and it's going to take some balls for him to do it with 750-800 fast, hard shots coming back at him.

Don't ever describe the DLH fight as an "ass whoopin" again. The fight was more than competitive through the 1st 9 rounds until Oscar gassed. Many people had Oscar up at that point.

Oscar may be a better all round fighter than Hatton but Oscar using a pressure game is nowhere near as effective as Hatton using a pressure game.

Floyd was fighting a guy who outweighed him by 4 pounds at weigh-in and by more than 13 on fight night and he still put a whoopin' on that ass. How do you think he's going to fare with a slower, less powerful opponent? I'd be surprised if Ricky was able to win two rounds against PBF.

I had Mayweather winning CONVINCINGLY on the cards. I gave DLH THREE rounds, including the 12th. He wasn't gassed at the end since he still had enough to win the last round.

As for PBF-JLC, I had the first fight a draw but Mayweather injured his shoulder early in that fight and came back in the second fight and proved, convincingly, that his poor performance was due to his injury. The second fight wasn't even close.

We each have our opinions on Hatton and Mayweather. As far as I'm concerned, Mayweather will ***** Hatton and make him look like an amateur in the ring. You guys see it differently. That's cool. I just think that most people here let the wool cover their eyes and are picking Hatton out of nationalism or dislike towards Mayweather (or both) and not because of his skills.

i don't think PBF will make Hatton look like an amateur....this will be a very close fight with Hatton having the edge
