What if hatton lands a hard bodyshot on Floyd?

[squealpiggy]

He couldnt land it on 99% of his opponets so far and Floyd is the hardest fighter in the game to land clean on

Hatton has had 43 professional fights. If you assume that the shot on Castillo is the only one he landed like that (it isn't but I'm humouring you) then he landed it on 2.33% of his opponents. So therefore if hypothetically he didn't land it on anyone else (again I'm humouring you, Hatton has finished numerous fights with a body shot) then that would meen he couldn't land it on approximately 97.67% of his opponents.

Stay in school kids.

Prior to May 5th, all of the Mayweather haters were saying "wait til Oscar lands a left hook"...

Haha that's right, there was a topic in here about how many Oscar left hooks it would take to put Floyd down, the vast majority of people said one, and I don't think many said more than two.

Most people said "What happens if". Oscar's left hook is wicked, but it's a one shot deal. Hatton's left hook to the body isn't a one shot deal.

Floyd isn't impervious. He is definitely favourite to beat Hatton and even if Hatton wins I would still say that Floyd is the better fighter and would win a rematch, but he's not invincible.

you guys say its impossible for hatton to win but what happens if hatton lands a bodyshot like he did against castillo?

Most people said "What happens if". Oscar's left hook is wicked, but it's a one shot deal. Hatton's left hook to the body isn't a one shot deal.

Floyd isn't impervious. He is definitely favourite to beat Hatton and even if Hatton wins I would still say that Floyd is the better fighter and would win a rematch, but he's not invincible.

Yep he is not unbeatable no fighter ever is ,,, but put it this way , if the best Mayweather turns up and best Hatton turns up , Floyd will win everytime , Floyd only needs to be at the top of his game to beat anything Ricky can bring , Floyd will win because he is a better fighter than Ricky pure and simple ,, forget the what if , Hatton is rugged but quite crude and very open , a PBF at his best will totally out class him ,, Floyd just doesnt want to go into this fight and take Hatton lightly as you can never write off the not so talented game dog .

If the best of both guys turn up then we're in for a great fight. If either guy is lacking in their game you have your loser. Floyd is better than Hatton, but even the best against the best could be a pick'em bout, because Floyd usually has to adjust to his opponents, but against a guy like Hatton the four rounds or so it takes him to do so could be too late. Once Floyd figures him out then he'll outpoint Ricky all night which is why I think Hatton would lose a rematch but has a great chance on Dec 8th.

Plus I have the feeling that Floyd is expecting an easy fight and believing his own hype. He isn't as focussed as usual so he's giving away his greatest advantage, his preparedness.

We'll see. But regardless of the outcome, Hatton won't retire undefeated. I think he beats Floyd and then loses an immediate (and lucrative) rematch. And that pair of fights will be what gives Floyd the legendary status he desperately craves.
