De La Hoya: "Hatton Will Surprise Mayweather"

[Wiley Hyena]

It may be just me but when anybody begins their first post with "lol" it instantly diminishes the content...

lol.....oh, sorry.

[Wiley Hyena]

Got a victory that was, "disputed by many."

(Quote from Jim Lampley)

But, the point was that Oscar was a much better fighter at that time than he is now. Dominico was dis*****g this, incredibly.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Dios, I've never met you but just by looking at your posts I hate you already.

P.S Go **** yourself

MaMa,

That's cool. It is intimidating to deal with somebody who is much smarter than yourself (or so I've heard).

So I can understand why you feel overwhelmed.

Smooches

You've got a pretty high opinion of yourself, Dios. lol That's good, but if only the quality of your posts justified it... if only..

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

lol Dios, you're willing to accept at face value that statement from Oscar, because it now suits your needs. But, as to the statement that started this thread, you aren't willing to accept at face value.

Hyena,

Oscar made a fitness stetement about HIMSELF and how HE felt.

you are comparing that to a statement that Oscar made about "IF Hatton comes in with the PERFECT gameplan yadda yadda". Oscar won't be in Hatton's camp, and he won't even be in the same country.


Ae you sure that you want to equate those two comments?

A comment that someone makes about their own personal experience vs a fight projection where the guy says IF a dozen times?

Really?

Well, we already know that you are not the best judge of resumes... You said Hatton's resume was on par with Floyd's.


But let's not argue. You're easy work.

Hatton's physical limitations is what is going to ultimately dictate the fact that he will receive a pure and unadulturated beat-down. More notably, it's his short-ass arms. He won't be able to reach Mayweather with those arms and given Mayweather's quickness he's going to slick him all night long and feed him right hand leads all night long until Ricky calls it quits or falls on his face.

Mighty... how exactly do you see the fight going?

We're not arguing. I was right.

I think Zab Judah has the best "blitzkrieg" type of attack in all of boxing and he blitzed Mayweather hard for those first few rounds. Ricky Hatton will also have his moments early, but like all PBF fights, his untouchable defense will see him through the first few rounds of Ricky's attack and he will figure him out. Once he figures him out and Ricky starts taking some leather, he will relent on his pressure exactly as he did against Collazo (around the 5th round) and become less adament in his pressuring attack. Once he does this, the fight will be over. Hatton's will can be broken and it is easy to see he was broken against Collazo. Only difference is that when Mayweather breaks his will, he will start to tee off on Hatton's dome with those straight right hands and left hooks to the body who Hatton is vulnerable to. Hatton will have some good moments as PBF often stays on the ropes, but ultimately he will be picked apart and his pressure won't nearly be enough to dissuade Mayweather from performing his usual surgical work en route to a UD or late TKO on cuts.

How about u?
