Emanuel Steward Explains His Hatton Over Tszyu Prediction

[Addison]

Thanks for that response, but you know that no Mayweather advocate on this site would dare say such a thing, even if they knew what the answer was.

And the claustrophobic thing....is a brilliant description.

I agree.

In short; one of his greatest strengths will be his greatest weakness.

Man, everytime I watch that fight Hatton stock rises up. Hatton is so much faster then given credit for compared to DLH. Moreso on his feet. Hatton's side to side movement and explosiveness is much, much better then DLH's. Everytime I watch that I picture Hatton slipping the initial punch and clinching and sapping Mayweather's energy.

I have Hatton 100% - but for anybody that believes that the Mayweather contest is going to be a replay of the Tszyu fight - I DON'T THINK SO.

No, it isn't going to be a replay of Hatton-Tszyu, it's going to be a replay of Mayweather-Gatti.

I'm not a "Floydboy" like many would tend to think, but I give credit when credit's due, and Mayweather as of right now, is the man in Boxing. He's the P4P king, he's undefeated, Oscar gave him a good fight, but I mean Maywaether just had the accuracy, speed and better intricacy in the ring to take the fight. Anybody who argues that, as Jim Lampley puts it, brings up an "academic, but listenable" point.

Ricky is not somebody who has the skill to beat Floyd, PERIOD. If he doesn't have enough energy to SERIOUSLY crowd and attack Floyd for 12 straight rounds, he's going to lose. Plain and simple. I give him a better chance than most, I don't think he's a bum or anything, but I just happen to think that his style, like Gatti, is a perfect opportunity for Floyd to make this the "****ing massacre" he promised against Oscar. Peep the sig.

Anybody want to bet on this?

Let's build this up just like Mayweather and Hatton did. This bet will be bigger in 2 months. I'll have about 75K hopefully at that time.

I haven't seen that fight since it happened, and that clip reminded me of alot of things I'd forgotten. First of all, Oscar may have won it! lol Thanks Addison. But, I would be most appreciative if you would divulge the secret that you have discerned. You may do it by private message if you wish. If so, I will of course keep it confidential if that is your desire. I have my own thoughts on why Hatton will win, but those have been made public many times on this site.

A lot of posters here claim to be intelligible boxing fans, and yet the very same people see Hatton as a brawler who lacks skill. Hatton's boxing is very, very underrated.
