De La Hoya: "Hatton Will Surprise Mayweather"

[wmute]

Exactly, but going into that fight, Hopkins was favored by ridiculous margin.

I picked Taylor to win, but the zealots said the exact same thing the Floydlings are saying now.

History is the most accurate benchmark of the future!

After seeing the Eastman fight, what was happening since the last Allen fight became obvious: Hopkins was not able to turn it on anymore. He needs to take rounds off, fight hat a very slow pace, and so on... no shame in that he was 40.

But Mayweather is young, prime and so on. Unlike many here I am sure this going to be a hell of a fight. Hatton has everything a fighter can dream when sharing the ring with Mayweather (minus a jab to move behind). This has the potential to be a fight for the ages. I pick Mayweather (as of now), but the word easy doesnt belong in here.

PBF will undoubtedly show his superior skills and dominate Hatton from the opening bell

floyd vs. hatton

i think this fight is getting pumped up too much. Floyd will come out and do just enough to get the decision, no matter how much Hatton presses the fight, Floyd has a way of slowing the action down when he wants to (kinda like Ali). Then getting his shots here and there just enough to win on points. Floyd is just trying to protect his record he doesnt come for the exciting fight like he used to. Hatton may catch the attention of the judges because he will be busier than mayweather but i dont think he'll land enough meaningful shots to win. Mayweather wins by split decision

Hatton doesn't have a chance, DLH just wants to seem involved somehow.

De La Hoya Would Like For Hatton To "Suprise" Mayeather, Due To His Desire To Pummel The Much Smaller Englishman In 2008...

You hit it right on the head! Oscar has his own agenda. It kills him to see Mayweather getting so much exposure.
