See Mayweather-Chavez or Floyd will just block his telegraphed shots. If Hatton hugs people will say its a boring fight.

How will Mayweather counter Hatton's Huggfest and rough house tactics?

Listen. Here is Hatton's best chance of winning:

Around rounds 6, 7 and 8 when Hatton is swelled up and starting to bleed very badly. Floyd will hit Ricky with a straight right hand and some blood will fly into Floyd's eyes. PBF will be temporarily blinded. THEN, Ricky can go on an offensive attack.

This thing will become an ugly bloodbath that will end Hatton's career in the U.S. The British fans will continue to support him. As well they should.

But come December 8th, Hatton is getting the Frank Bruno treatment.

NOTE: EVERY SPORTS BOOK HAS MAYWEATHER AS THE FAVOURITE TO STOP HATTON.

I think if Hatton tries to come in and hold with one arm and punch with the other (Tzu fight for reference) PBF will not try and trade with him. PBF will probably just tie up Hatton's free hand and turn it from a partial clinch to a full clinch which will prompt the referee to break it up (see DLH fight).

Floyd fights everyone a little different. I don't know he'll fight Hatton. He walked down Judah, outclassed and outboxed Baldomir, and he picked his shots against Oscar. I don't think he'll walk down Hatton, but I really don't think Hatton could hurt Floyd who has fought a light middleweight.

Floyd has spent the past two years fighting men who are WAY bigger and stronger than Hatton is. Fights with Baldomir and Delahoya. Sparring with Kofi Jantuah and Daniel Edouard.

In the case of Oscar, BOTH bigger and better than Hatton.

Ricky can't hurt Floyd. He will find that out early in the fight. Pobrecito.

I agree he's fought stronger and bigger opponents
