    Yeah. Hatton usually head fakes and pivots on his left foot...all the weight goes on his left. I feel he maybe walking into A LOT of uppercuts.

    I always felt the weakness to Mayweather's style would be looping rights on the ropes. But then again his quickness is so superior that he can usually choose never to even stay on the ropes.

The thing that strikes me about Mayweather is that he has little power at higher weights, but through countering, offering awkward looks, he has most of his opponent closing shop after a few rounds. It's not like watching Castillo-Corrales, but I am always in awe of how he does that. I also like seeing him go offensive or stay in the pocket, but as you said, that's not his best asset.
      Yeah JMM gets hit alot. He doesn't have the physical tools of Mayweather. And he aint exactly moving up in weight (although the Barrera fight was at 130, wasn't it...I could be wrong on that).

      And you are right about Mayweather. I love watching him fight. I rarely think he is boring except for the Baldomir and DelaHoya fight. I think he really respected Baldomir's ruggedness as opposed to Gatti who really does not have a gerat chin.
