De La Hoya: "Hatton Will Surprise Mayweather"

[Wiley Hyena]

Did he pick hatton to win?

And aren't you in the same thread as I am? Are YOU tired of it?

Don't act like you are on some moral high ground. Please. Stop yourself.

lol....like you have "moral high ground" here. OMG And, it sure looks like Oscar's picking Hatton to me. Don't let it get you down, hey it's just Oscar De La Hoya!

wiley,

Stop yourself. You seem like a sissy now.

Oscar seems to be on a tirade of sorts. I do hope that whatever the outcome, the fight is judged accurately and in earnesty, without bias. I would hate to see Mayweather lose due to Oscar's vendetta. (Or win because Oscar has something to gain.)

Oscar is selling the fight. As the promoter, it benefits him to portray the fight as very competitive. It is the smart thing to do.

There you go with that name calling again.

I can understand prompting, correcting, and instructing posters on this site; but to do so to Oscar De La Hoya?

This is tongue in cheek, Dios. lol

Always having to have the last word. Maybe you ought to look in that mirror.

My reasons for thinking the jab is the most dangerous punch against Floyd are not the same as most.

Personally I think the jab is so important against Floyd because it sets everything up. Oscar wasn't just snapping Floyd's head back. He was using it to set his punches up. Mayweather's style of fighting relies on balance and reflexes. By throwing a stiff jab (it has to be thrown with intensity, not that measuring jab Gatti was throwing that Floyd ate up) you will make Floyd react by either dipping right or backing up. During that split second Floyd is vulnerable to other punches.

Now I know for a fact Hatton is better suited than any other fighter Floyd has faced recently at taking advantage of that vulnerable moment. The question is, is his jab good enough to do this? Because you cant just have any jab like I said about Gatti, you have to have a powerful and probably long jab. Hatton's T-rex arms will make this difficult, but his quick foot speed might compensate for that.

Why wouldn't a re-match against Floyd be in his plans? Just curious.
