    It's a Lock

    In my years of being a fan of pugilism... I don't recall a big, expected title fight that might be more of a lock than I consider Mayweather/Hatton.

    This post really isn't meant to be informative or some place to debate both sides... because I think if you simply look at the facts then there's no way Hatton can win outside of a good deal of luck or bad luck on Floyd's part.

    I kind of would agree with this.

    I think Floyd won't have much of a hard time winning on the cards at all. But I don't think he's going to stop Ricky.......it's just that Ricky's punches will look kind of like Oscar's when he tried to close the gap and get in the clinch. The judges will ignore his workrate and simply score rounds for Floyd's accuracy. Hatton gets hit too often to not have that exploited by Floyd.

      Pretty much... although I honestly expect Hatton to pretty much physically give up by round 9 or so. He'll be hit with too many shots, even light ones, and demoralized. He's not an idiot and he'll know he's well behind on the cards.

      I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to fight an opponent like Floyd. The quick accurate punches and an ungodly amount of movement around the ring.

      It'll be a Clear UD w/ Floyd only losing 3 rounds at the most.

        But let me state for the record.

        I'd love nothing more than to see Hatton administer Floyd his first loss.

          I'd be fine with Floyd taking a loss before he retires.. but quite frankly if there's one thing I couldn't stand it'd be a fighter who doesn't deserve to beat him getting even more hype (ie Hatton).

            I just think Ricky is cooler than Floyd. I appreciate his fighting style much more........I'd rather see some clinching mixed with a fast workrate....than watching an ultra defensive shoulder roll and bicycle ride.

            After all he knocked out my favorite fighter with 1 single punch.

                  As far as I'm concerned the absolute key to this fight is Mayweather's fighting heart. If he is prepared to actually fight and go to a very painful place he never has been before against a rough tough bruiser like Hatton, then his superior talent should see him through. Anything less than total and utter commitment to do whatever is necessary will result in a loss for Mayweather.

                  I just have a feeling that this fight will surprise most people and that Mayweather will bail out when the going gets too tough.

                    I tend to agree.
