Does Hatton Have the Style to Give Mayweather Trouble?

[Cerullo G.O.D]

No doubt we'll see Gayweather (see what i've done there) on the US version of Come Dancing after the Hatton fight. Every one talked up Tszyu on here, like they do Gayweather (and again), yet after Hatton punished him for 11 rounds he quit on his stool and ended up doing the waltz on Australian TV, much to his proud nation's horror. I think it can only put down to brain damage. Last I heard I think he was caught having sexual relations with a mule back in his native Russia. HATTON'D.

Hatton TKO 8. Gayweather wincing as, piece by piece, he loses control of his mental faculties, and then his bowels.

It's a T.K.O by the G.O.D

Crack, Meth, or OxyContin?

Floyd has fast hands and good reflexes. Hatton has very fast feet, probably as fast as Floyd's. Mayweather sits n the pocket and uses his reflexes and handspeed to avoid being hit, he's not one of those mobile fighters like Judah or Ray Leonard.

wait....you're saying Hatton will beat PBF....but that Cotto is no match?...I Totally disagree!...I think Cotto would whip Hatton....

Wholly irrelevant. Hearns destroyed Duran but lost to Leonard who Duran beat. Foreman had little chance against Ali who was beaten by Frazier who had no chance against Foreman.

I think for the first 3 or 4 rounds Hatton's style could give Floyd plenty of problems, Ricky is a very fast starter and will just bulldoze forward early. But as the fight goes on I see Ricky becoming less and less effective as Mayweather gets used to his style. The only way I can see Ricky winning this fight is by getting to Mayweather in the first third of the fight but I wouldn't bet on it.

I give Hatton more chance than I gave Oscar to be honest. People are always discrediting him because he is british and always bring up the collazo fight ignoring that styles make fights, anyone who things this is a wipe out is dumb, Most of u know me as a big time Floyd fan from the start but I think This fight wont be easy for Mayweather but he will win.

$pam: Baldo was a different fight; if you read my pick for that in 2006, I noted that Floyd actually had every advantage and should win but that I thought he might be looking past Baldo along with intangibles like the big mo'. I was wrong (sort of like I was wrong to think Floyd would master DLH). LOL Then again, I was righ in picking Hatton over Tszyu when NO ONE was doing that; Tarver to be the toughest fight of Roy's career before the first fight etc...in other words I get more right than wrong.

That said, I never said I picked Hatton to win in December. I expect him to be Floyd's toughest fight so far and think the possibility of a win, and subsequent fan-friendly rivalry is there.
