Hatton Plans Light Approach with Mayweather

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

hatton knocked collazo down. after that collazo ran the whole fight. if hatton was in better shape and not short notice he would knock collazo out in 4.

FROM HATTON'S MOUTH:

When asked by the media who he would like to fight next, Ricky Hatton responded by saying, "I will fight anybody out there, and I approve of a rematch with Luis."

In regards to being hurt by Collazo in the 12th round Hatton stated, "It wasn't just the 12th round, he hurt me several times in the fight. He hits a lot harder. I still believe that I am a junior welterweight and I moved up to welterweight. I did notice the difference. He hit me several times. He hit me and hurt me in the last round and I was able to stay close, smother him, and keep my wits about me."

......................

Wont matter what weight they fight at....as for punching power who knows but i do know that both fighters most of their knockouts come from attrition neither is a one punch devestating puncher...so that spells more trouble for hatton because he wont land enough to be able to even come close to a knockout by attrition...mayweather by knockout if he fights....Mayweather by decision if he boxes......

What evidence supports the claim that Hatton hits harder than Mayweather?

Boxing nicknames are odd things. 'Prince' Naseem Hamed wasn’t really royalty, yet there was something 'Marvellous' about Marvin Hagler. So what about our very own Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton? Is his title the stuff of fantasy or reality?

Thanks to the work of a team of impact engineers from the University of Manchester, Hatton has shown that his moniker is as real as his world championship belts.


Acting on a request to find out just how hard Ricky hits, the team, led by Dr Qingming Li, set about making a test area for the boxing champ, which meant sticking a force sensor to something Hatton knows only too well – a 30kg punch bag. The sensor sent data to a laptop, where specialised software measured and analysed the results.

That result was pretty impressive to say the least. According to the study, Ricky punches with a massive 400kg of instantaneous force.

That’s just under half a tonne of power cracking into his opponent’s jaw, an amount that Dr Li described as "“quite astonishing".


The punch hits home and the data is collected

When you bear in mind that the average man in the street with no boxing experience has an impact of about 40kg, that means Ricky is ten times harder than most of us. And if that didn’t make the point, his punching force is also twice that of the power in the average Premiership footballer’s kick!

Fast and furious
Boxing isn’t just about power though. It’s all very well if you can punch with the power of an elephant if you’re too slow to land the punch. Anyone who’s seen Hatton fight will be pretty sure that isn’t the case, but thanks to the engineers, his punching speed has been pinned down too.


Ricky makes some repairs to the bag

Using video technology normally put to work tracking projectiles in laboratory conditions, the experts clocked his average speed at 25 miles per hour, with a top shot of 32 mph – that was one of his knock-out left hooks, in case you wondered.

That means his reaction time is less than a tenth of a second. To put it in layman’s terms, he’d have you on your back before you even knew he’d moved!

And don’t think you’d have chance to get a punch in first. The average bloke can only manage to move at about half of Hatton’s speed, with a maximum of around 15mph.

An indisputable hit man
Unfortunately, because of Ricky’s training schedule ahead of his fight with Jose Castillo, the researchers couldn’t do the tests under scientific conditions and the boxer didn’t have his hands bandaged like he would have in the ring, but even so, they’re striking results and the scientists are eager to make them official when Hatton returns from Vegas.

Ricky, Dr Li and the team analyse the results
For Ricky, it was a welcome distraction from his preparations and an enjoyable experience.

"It was my first visit to the University of Manchester and I was impressed with the facilities there," he said.

"It was great working with the experts and the technology, and for me, it was really interesting to see how fast and how hard I can hit."

And was it hard enough to be called the Hitman? Definitely; after all, with power and speed like that at his disposal, would you like to argue otherwise?

[RodBarker]

Thats the same scientific bunch that came out with Pitbulls biting at 2000lb per square inch . just because something appears in a newspaper you think its true , the media is sued daily for printing unsubstantiated bull**** ,,,,, nothing more than propaganda bull**** , you think people earning money in the realm of Hatton and Floyd and Oscar etc dont have a media team working for them generating hype to build and sell the merchandise , lot of gullible people out there thats all I got to say .
