[FISTIC ART]

.........................

So lets try our best to break down this fight....i think hatton has had the speed advantage in most of his fights....... now floyds camp is gonna have a stardegy for that hit and hold style... my opinion is that the fight depends on mayweather... what is mayweather gonna do... i think mayweather can beat hatton at any game hatton presents even the hold thing... mayweather may not even allow him to get in that close... see hatton has never faced someone with the speed of floyds hands...thats just for starters... obviously just speed is not enough for anyone.... i think mayweather will respect hatton for the first 2 or 3 rounds than he's gonna get off his bike and slap hatton around all night...i even think hatton is gonna choke in this fight... if hatton gets hit with a few shots than steps in and holds he's gonna look bad..hatton is decent in speed...but not even close to floyd... hatton is an average inside fighter.... and lets say u say well i think he's great inside...ok...but floyd is a great inside fighter...he just dosent choose to fight on the inside..and he'll whoop hatton on the inside...collazho is the closet opponent i think that matches floyd a boxing counter puncher..floyd is collazho times 1000 and look how that fight made hatton look...wait till the 8th of dec ull see how floyd is gonna make hatton look..... how do u bet those point things on here someone explain it to me... i will bet that not only that mayweather will win.. but more than that ...that he will embarrass hatton...meaning all the people on here who think the fight will be competitive... i dont know how much of those points i have to bet if i even have any... but whatever i got... i will bet that mayweather makes this fight non competitive and makes hatton look like he just started boxing....and forget hatton this fight will be dictated by what floyd wants to do... for those of you that wear skirts and point out that i may have run on sentences....or that they cant understand....let me make it simple....i bet all the points i have that floyd will not only beat hatton but embarrass him.........

I found it hard to catch any of them. Why not use sentences that begin with capital letters and end with full stops? Try breaking up your points into meaningful paragraphs. People may then bother to read your points.

And for the record Collazo is really noting like Mayweather. He has a style which is completely unlike Floyds. He is much taller and stronger than Floyd and he is a southpaw. I'm sincerely hoping that Mayweather is thinking Hatton will fight like he did against Collazo because I like Hatton and want to see him victorious.

I'm sorry I had to **** all over you for the way you write on here, I've never been known to be a grammatical **** but I wasn't the only one having a hard time understanding you.

I'm going to disect what you posted, and reply the best I can.......

So lets try our best to break down this fight....i think hatton has had the speed advantage in most of his fights....... now floyds camp is gonna have a stardegy for that hit and hold style... my opinion is that the fight depends on mayweather... what is mayweather gonna do... i think mayweather can beat hatton at any game hatton presents even the hold thing

I don't think Hatton has had the speed advantage in all of his fights, but I'd agree that he's had the speed advantage in all of his U.S. fights. Floyd's camp surely should have a strategy for Hatton's style, if not then what are they being paid for? Hatton won't hold Floyd as much as he's held guys like Castillo and Urango, why? Because Floyd willingly goes to the ropes.

Hatton's clinching style is made to rough opponets up and force them to put their backs against the ropes, and fight off of the ropes. Mayweather willingly fights off the ropes and does so very, very well I might add. But Hatton won't clinch Mayweather as much as he has his previous U.S. opponets because Floyd is willing to go to the ropes. He's comfortable there, and so is Hatton.

mayweather may not even allow him to get in that close... see hatton has never faced someone with the speed of floyds hands...thats just for starters... obviously just speed is not enough for anyone.... i think mayweather will respect hatton for the first 2 or 3 rounds than he's gonna get off his bike and slap hatton around all night...

Mayweather may very well employ a perfect boxing strategy that can keep hatton at bay, but not for the entire fight. hatton has a ton of heart and if he wants in on Mayweather, he'll get in on him. Hatton won't be afraid to eat some leather in order to get inside, it's just his style. And Hatton cuts off the ring very well incase you've never seen him fight outside the U.S.

He could give Mayweather some trouble by cutting off the ring and forcing Floyd to fight off the ropes. That said I still think the advantage goes to Floyd if it becomes a battle off the ropes because of his cleaner, srisper countering ability and his shoulder rolls.

...i even think hatton is gonna choke in this fight... if hatton gets hit with a few shots than steps in and holds he's gonna look bad..hatton is decent in speed...but not even close to floyd... hatton is an average inside fighter.... and lets say u say well i think he's great inside...ok...but floyd is a great inside fighter...he just dosent choose to fight on the inside

Hatton will choke in this fight? I highly doubt that. No matter how many technical advantages Mayweather has over Hatton, Hatton has a ton of heart and will be ready to make the fight dirty if need be.

and he'll whoop hatton on the inside...collazho is the closet opponent i think that matches floyd a boxing counter puncher..floyd is collazho times 1000 and look how that fight made hatton look...wait till the 8th of dec ull see how floyd is gonna make hatton look.....

The difference between Collazo and Mayweather are the difference between night and day. The reason Hatton looked so ****ty fighting Collazo was due to the move up in weight. Hatton is a small guy, he' a natural 140 pounder (when he's not filling up on beer that is). 147 is not the area for Hatton to fight in, and I think that will come into play. That said, Hatton has been there once before now so he knows what to expect as far as the extra weight difference goes.

how do u bet those point things on here someone explain it to me... i will bet that not only that mayweather will win.. but more than that ...that he will embarrass hatton...meaning all the people on here who think the fight will be competitive...

You bet points by asking another user to match your points on any fight. Putting it in your signature makes it official and shows you're serious about betting on here. You are staking points on the assumption that Mayweather will "embarass" Hatton? Define embarass. Because if Hatton puts forth a good effort, but ultimately loses, that wouldn't be an embarassment. Unless of course you think losing to the p4p #1 fighter in the world is some sort of embarassment.

"meaning all the people on here who think the fight will be competitive"? And? You just lost me there.

i dont know how much of those points i have to bet if i even have any... but whatever i got... i will bet that mayweather makes this fight non competitive and makes hatton look like he just started boxing....and forget hatton this fight will be dictated by what floyd wants to do... for those of you that wear skirts and point out that i may have run on sentences....or that they cant understand....let me make it simple....i bet all the points i have that floyd will not only beat hatton but embarrass him.........[/

I think you have 12K, or 12,000 points to bet on whatever fights you want. See above on how to set it up. I'd take you up on the bet because it seems like an easy 12K to me but I have a problem trusting your definition of embarass. If Mayweather wins, you could easily say it was an embarassment for Ricky even though I might not agree.

I don't think Mayweather embarassed Oscar, because Oscar was able to take 4 rounds, 5 depending on who you ask. But I believe Oscar won 4 solid rounds against Mayweather and that was not my definition of embarassment. Embarassment to me would be, Mayweather wins all 12 rounds and makes Hatton look like Gatti. That would be embarassment.

But if Ricky is able to win some rounds, and have his own moments in the fight I wouldn't call that an embarassment. I'd just call it being outclassed.

[EMPOROAR]

All this talk is getting tiresome.

This fight boils down to two things:
1) Does Hatton have the skill to get inside and will his face hold up?
2) Does Mayweather have the stones to sit at ring center and dictate pace. If he is on his bike he is losing this fight or it will be extremely uneventful with 12 boring rounds that wont give a good account of who the true victor is.

Thats it ladies and gentleman.

Da Bringah.....This is something that has bothered me.

People always agree that "Hatton is not a 147er" yadda yadda. Hatton said it, and everybody starts nodding. Wait. Wasn't Hatton at 140 pounds at 18 years old?

Is it unreasonable to ask somebody to move up SEVEN POUNDS in weight in TEN YEARS?

Isn't it pretty unusual for a male athlete (even a boxer) to spend the first ten years of his professional career at the same weight? Even Bernard Hopkins now admits that he was killing himself to make middleweight.

I'm not buying into this. I'm sorry. Mayweather started at 130, and has fought at 154. Corrales (while taller) started at 130 and fought at WW. Pernell moved up. SRL moved up. Hearns moved up. Shane moved up. Oscar moved up (130 to 160). Winky moved up. Cotto moved up. Judah moved up. Spinks moved up. Quartey moved up. Trinidad moved up. Jones, Jr moved up. Mayorga, Ouma, Forrest, etc.... they all moved up.

C'mon.

Sidenote: Any of you guys on *******?

That dancing show will be Mayweather's toughest challenge.........

I don't think it's unreasonable for any fighter to move up in weight over the years. I still think hatton is just too small for the guys at 147lbs. There's no doubt in my mind that he could make 147 if he wanted to, but it would be a horrible decision. Hatton's known as a small guy at 140lbs, and at 147lbs with guys like Williams, Margarito, Cintron, Cotto, Mosley, etc... He'd have literally no chance.

Even Mayweather is known as a small Welterweight and I have no idea how he pulls it off in a division with WW's who should be Middleweights.

Hatton is moving up to 147lbs to fight Floyd, we'll see where he goes afterward win or lose, it should be interesting to see what he decides to do. I just can't see him taking on some of the bigger guys.

how tall is oscar? 5 10 or 11? for him to make 130 he musta been eating sweet corn all day every day. mayweather is 5 foot 8 and is considered small compared to other ww fighters. ffs theres someone who is 6 foot in the ww division. hatton is 5 foot 6. for him to be in their against guys who have 10 inches extra reach and 6 inches ehight advatange how would he win? he would not win simply as that. hatton is a stumpy kinda guy and should remain at 140 where he does not lsoe his speed and matches quite fairly to other competitors. mike tyson was 5 11 and some ww are taller than him... maybe they are the ones who should have gone up rather than ricky dont you think?

hatton started off at the weight that he is really designed for. all the others are biug guys and i bet they walked at a much higher weight and lsot a lot to be in those lower divisions. and hatton get to 173 ish pounds cuz hes a fat guy. he be 155 max if he was healthy but ate without restrictions.

[MJ406]

good points above, but I got some to add.

"Hatton's known as a small guy at 140lbs"

very true. but have you taken notice of his weight by fight night his last 2 bouts? 150 ... more than a welterweight.

I think Bringer might be correct in that Hatton just struggles at 147 ... because you'd have to agree with this at 140, despite being small .. Ricky is still pretty big (what 140 pounders are above 5'7?)

and I pose this ?ion. you give Floyd 20 power shots vs Baldomir and 20 vs Hatton. which 20 would do more damage?
