    i strongly doubt mayweather will stand toe to toe with hatton...as much as i'd like to see it (mostly to see if he has the balls to do it and how strong his chin is) i think he's going to fight the typical mayweather fight...

    i dont think he's going to run too much in this fight (like he has in other fights...) as he will be slick...

    he isnt going to stand infront of hatton for two reasons:
    1. he knows hatton has very good KO power (whether he admits it to the public or not)
    2. i think he knows he doesnt have the ability to KO hatton (he knows hatton's chin is too strong...or he should know)


    Hatton is going to be the presser a bit more than floyd...floyd will give the illusion he will stand in front of hatton and the stick him with a jab...move...and go for a good left hook...

    thats mayweather's style...stick the jab...move...stick the jab...move...stick the jab...right cross...move...he's slick and thats how he fights.

    he will continue to fight this way until he's the slower man and it doesnt look like he's going to come across a fighter (in the near future) who has the speed advantage on him...

    if he did go toe to toe with hatton i would be strongly surprised...the chances of it happening (realistically) are about 7:1. he just wont do it.

      I'm not impressed with Hatton's chin. He may have a good one but its not a Baldomir type chin. He was getting rocked by Collazo. And you can't say how Floyd will fight him. This is at 147. He walked down Judah and stood with him. He went after Sharmba Mitchell, and boxed and moved and in the late rounds "danced" against Baldomir. Oscar never really hurt Floyd, I doubt Hatton could.

        What's next?

        What happens if Mayweather beats Hatton? and Cotto beats Mosley (which is the better fight). U think Mayweather will dare to fight Cotto, in my opinion he will not because it seems that he has been running from Cotto. What do u think? anyone

              Bull****

              No one who fights until 26 at 130-135 is a natural welter.

                Hatton and PBF get the same treatment from their respective haters:

                everyone thinks they are getting their ass kicked

                when the opposite happens, their opponents are all of a sudden garbage/shot and so on...

                I am starting to think that's the mark of greatness.

                    Jesus Christ you are a ****ing moron.

                    1. Learn to spell.

                    2. Learn to make coherent sentences.

                    3. Learn to make intelligent arguments.

                    Mayweather-Hatton is going to outsell all other pay-per-view fights this year with the exception of one fight... and guess what? Mayweather was involved that fight too. Please refrain from posting again until you stop being a ****ing moron.

                      Whoa.

                      Not calling someone out = running from?

                      What PBF said was that he "would fight the biggest and the best fight for the fans. Whoever that is". I think we can all get on board with that.

                      So, let's be patient and see how things wash out.

                      If - IF - Floyd can squeak by the legendary Ricky Hatton, then he has to face the winner of Cotto/Mosley (which is a pick 'em fight).
