Article: Why Hatton Beats Mayweather

[St@rscreem]

Hilarious.

It's okay to like Ricky Hatton, I mean I like him too, I just don't see what about him could possibly make anyone think he has a chance here. Think about it logically. Like, with actual logic, and that means I don't wanna hear the term "Swarming style". What is that anyway? If he tries to "swarm" (meaning run in with his hands flailing wildly, the Ricky Hatton Specialty) he's going to get sidestepped and tagged all night long. I heard he's at something like a 7 inch reach disadvantage. Be serious with yourselves, he has a puncher's chance, and not a very good one. He's not even the biggest puncher he's faced. He won't even be the biggest guy IN THE RING THAT NIGHT.

This is a mismatch. Trust.

if Hatton wins all the Mayweather fans will be cryng for a rematch. if Hatton doesn`t rematch then they will continue to berate him saying he was lucky.

That is the mentality of Floyd fans. They will keep asking for a rematch, even if he loses again they wont accept it until Floyd wins.

If Hatton wins and floyd wants a rematch then he has to come to England to do it and hatton gets the bigger purse

Are you confident enough to wager on that my friend? Floyd could also join celebrity rap superstars and I would still think he would beat Hatton, the levels are just to far apart.

Whats the point? hes only got 115.11 points

if ricky was American and a bell end and Floyd was a nice bloke and english you would be saying Ricky would win.
No one knows how this fight will turn out, it's a pick em fight.
Floyds faster, Rickys more powerful. It's a tough one to call and any one with half a brain cell would surely be thinknig the same thing

Why would you assume that knowing nothing about me whatsoever. As a matter of fact I am a FAN of Ricky Hatton I am just not a dillusional fool who thinks that their abilities are anywhere near one another. fight, Floyd is smarter and more accurate than Hatton is. To many advantages and to much skill for Hatton to handle. I never said it would be a walk through for Floyd, I think Hatton will push Floyd farther than anyone else has, but that won't change the fact that Floyd will eventually outclass him and get the victory.

"Hands flailing wildly?" - how can you have the gall to make a remark like that after instructing people to use logic? You have just shown yourself up to be an ignoramus.

Yes, "hands flailing wildly". Ricky Hatton charges people swinging to the body. All the time. That'll get you hit in the head by someone with a reach advantage. You should know that.

No need for name calling though, it's not even that kinda post...

Ricky Hatton is a professional boxer with 43 fights, all of them wins. He has won world titles at two different weight classes and has won all but one of his fights comfortably. He is recognised in the top 10 P4P by most people who matter. In short, he knows his way around the ring and is a proven world-class operator. For you to then describe his fighting technique as "hands flailing wildly" is not only insulting but also displays ignorance. You should know that.

That's fair.

Fair enough. Ricky Hatton is a professional, etc etc. My point still stands. He runs in, swinging at his opponents body. I've seen him do it in every single fight. He'll get hurt doing that, and I don't know that he has a backup plan for when the "swarming" just gets his nose broken, cause I've never seen one, besides hugging. Say what you want about Mayweather, but everyone knows he fights extremely well going backwards, so the whole "rush your opponent and hope he can't fight going back" is going to be useless, and I don't think he (Hatton) has a plan B.

But I'm going to stop at the hugging comment, because I actually do like Hatton, I just don't like him so much that its clouding my vision enough to give him more than a lucky punch's chance at winning this fight.
