Hatton the easiest fight mayweathers had in years

[Double]

It won't be an easy fight for Floyd, but it will not be as difficult as DLH. Mayweather won't have to respect Hatton's power they way he did DLH's.

besides chavez, Castillio, Agustas, and De La Hoya. This should be one of his toughest fights. It wont be easy at all. Hatton is among the best pound for pound and will give Floyd all he can handle. im a big Floyd fan so of course im picking Floyd to win but not easily. i'll say Floyd by Majority or a split descision.

Augustus?? You're kidding I hope. Hatton's much tougher than that clown.

This is not as hard as DLH, but harder than Baldomir. People talk about Hatton being made for Mayweather, which isn't exactly true. Baldomir was made for Mayweather.

Good post and agreed. Hatton has some power, but not Oscar type power.

Allow me to explain the topic to you, because what you think that you created a topic about...isnt what you actually did create a topic about.

You are asking what Hatton brings to the table that other fighters who Floyd beat couldnt. However, because you are a ****, you deliberately phrased a very inflammatory thread title of "Is Hatton the easiest fight Mayweather has had in years?".

Now, I'd hate to second guess, but I'd imagine that the reason for doing this, is to try and get some digs in about Hatton whilst trying to pretend that you're actually after a serious discussion.

Me, I'm not buying it, as such I will discuss with you on the subject of your thread title. The nature of that discussion being that you yourself know that Hatton isnt the easiest fight of the past few years, because you deliberately didnt mention Gatti...who is OBVIOUSLY (and who you obviously recognise as being) a MUCH better candidate for that title (hence you neglecting to mention him). As such, you're being a ****, futhrermore you KNOW that you're being a **** and I will, therefore, treat you like a ****.

this guy is right


It wont be an easy fight at all.

Im giving hatton the benefit of the doubt and giving him a chance to win this fight, as i have said before, his chances depend on mayweather not being at the top of his game, i think the Chavez comparison is a vaild one, weve all seen the clip on you tube, chavez took some absolute bombs and kept coming forward, mayweather kept slipping and hitting him with sickening uppercut counters.

I belive mayweather is better defenisvely now than he was at that time.

I think within 2 rounds we will know who will win the fight, if hatton can ruffle mayweather within 2 rounds, we will know its a fight, if hatton cant get inside within two rounds and is getting tagged coming in,

I think we can expect the same for the rest of the fight.

Anything can happen in boxing though, so it would be foolish to completely write hatton off.

Floyd has mentioned Augustus as being his toughest fight before.


Why are people acting like Baldomir was a nobody? Isnt he the reason Ricky went back down in weight, so he wouldnt have to face him?

hatton is a punching bag...mayweather wins in a easy UD, or late round KO

[ianwigley]

Floyd will hit and run and Ricky will hit and hold. I dont give a **** who wins this fight because I dont like either fighter, but Floyd will probably win. I'll be to busy on the Cotto-Mosely fight.

I think Cotto - Mosley will be more intersting, but the world's media will be focused on Mayweather, because he's top draw. I see Floyd to do it on points.

[wmute]

I watched Mayweather - Jesus Chavez couple years ago, and Chavez was as close to Hatton as anyone Floyd faced; dude just kept coming forward, all Floyd did was punch him back and wear him down. That's what's gonna happen to Ricky.

Chavez is slower, less skilled and smaller than Hatton.

That being said Mayweather is still the favorite.

Bingo. Like me, I think that most Hatton fans know that he is the underdog, but think that he can raise his game and get his tactics right to win the fight. We are being realistic with our expectations (that it will be very hard) and hopeful with our predictions (that Hatton can overcome the odds).

However, most Floyd fans think that it'll be an absolute walk in the park with untouchable Floyd never in a moments danger, such is the absolute gulf in ability and class between the two fighters. Floyd is not imperious and he is not impervious. Hatton will be a tough fight and if they are expecting anything less, their predictions and their expectations are woeful.
