      Sounds like alot of guys on here are trying to convince themselves that Hatton can win with all these threads lately. Hatton can only do what he is capable of doing and that is to try to smother Floyd and and try to rough him up whether it works or not we will have to wait to Dec. The way I see this fight is Hatton will make it a physical fight but come up short in the end.

        I am not 100% sure that Hatton won't be powerful at 147, but I am saying that it is very rare that a fighter remains as powerful when they jump up in weight.

        Finally, the most impressive part of Mayweather's career in my eyes, is the fact that I have never seen him tired in any fight. Ever, period. That is why he almost never gives the late rounds away, because he is always fresher. Probably because he spars 15 minute rounds to get his stamina up. Incredible.

        That is not so much conditioning as it is ring generalship with Floyd. He usually controls the pace of the fight, with the first castillo fight being the exception, and he didn't look all that fresh there.

        Floyd is a well conditioned athlete, but his style lends to his conditioning. Hatton will force Mayweather to engage much more ofton. This will be where Mayweather stumbles. He hasn't had to endure a grueling fight yet, and i believe hatton will make it that grueling. We will see.

        As to the bet, I already said yes. I have 10,00 already bet, but whatever is left im down against you with!

          Not a factor. Mayweather really aint that fast at 147 and he isn't nearly as sharp at 147 as he was at 140. He would get manhandled by Collazo for a few rounds also if they were too fight. Not to mention he is actually smaller then Hatton.

          Zero factor.

              yeah. I've never seen Mayweather in with a big, tough, skilled guy like Collazo. His fights at 147:
              Mitchell (career 140 lebr)
              Judah (started at 140, up to 147)
              Baldomir....(yeah...he sucks)

              What am I saying????

              HE FOUGHT SMALL GUYS.

              Oh, and I said he would get manhandled for a few ROUNDS. Mayweather would eventually find his range and stick his move and win in a boring decision.

                Agreed! Mayweathers speed will not factor, what will factor is his ability to time Hatton comming in and stay off the ropes-He gets mugged on the ropes in this fight. Hatton also won't give him room to breath(I bet Floyd got the biggest ring he could find for this fight.) Hatton will not stop, and if TSZYU couldn't drop Hatton-Mayweather doesn't stand a chance! Watch the Tszyu fight again, Kostya landed some hellacious shots throughout the fight- Never once did Hatton blink.

                Floyd has to Run and pot shot every minute of every round-He can't ***in do it!!! He will tire and he will have to stand and fight, then he gets unraveled!

                  No ****. If he plans to win hes gotta dictate the center of the ring. He's gotta stand and trade. If he plans on going on his bike....yeah he's not winning because Hatton is fast enough on his feet to make him work and get inside.

                    No ***in way Mayweather will stand and trade. Hatton is gonna lay on em, Wrestle the **** outta him, Beat his body, and generaly just **** Floyd if he stands still too long. Floyd will try to keep hatton at bay and tie up inside, At first he will try that defensive bull**** off his, but when he realizes that Hattons is just as happy killin his body as he is head hunting-Floyds in a pickle. If DLH would have riped to the body consistantly he would have fared much better-Hatton will prove that. I look for the first 4 rounds to be frenetic, but then gradually Hatton will begin to get to Mayweather.

                    I just don't see Mayweather stopping Hattons assault. Mayweather will get his shots in, but they will seem few compared to the multitude of shots Hatton will throw!

                      You can exclude me from that group.

                      I've been saying for years Hatton can beat him.

                      I'm not without certain reservations, but now that it's here and they're really going to do it - I'm not going to tuck tail.

                      I am not a Hatton fan - if anything I enjoy watching Floyd Mayweather as much as anyone in the sport, and I had little to no doubt he would beat De La Hoya as he did..


                      It's not easy picking anyone over Mayweather.

                      You sure try to belittle that fact..
