Mayweather Hatton: Toe to Toe Battle?

[bdevils]

Dead on target. And did I say...right?

Why don't you blow him already

[bdevils]

So Oscar is slightly taller....
90% of Hatton's opponents are taller than him.
Hell even Floyd is taller than Hatton.

WTF? Oscar was taller and probably outweighed Floyd by 20lbs. Hatton stepped up in weight and was getting hurt by a feather fisted fighter named Collazo.

Floyds power will go up in this because Hatton will walk jump hop onto Floyds punches then you have the effect of a head on collision which increases the impact , I dont think Floyd will KO him but its possible but Floyds brittle hands generally stops him from loading right up , a TKO is very possible as Floyd will land cleanly all night and Ricky will start falling apart by the 6th ,,, we know Hatton is a good body puncher but dont be surprised if Floyd has a lot of success to the body , toe to toe , it will have moments but really who cares , Floyd will win this because he is so much more skilled and is always in fantastic shape , he never tires , people say Ricky is relentless pressure , I think your going to see Hatton hanging on for survival in the last quarter .

Toe to toe? Not a chance. Why would Floyd give Ricky his only chance of winning? IF Floyd is able to pot shot RH for about 10 rounds then maybe he will stand in the pocket and bomb away to try and finish him off, but otherwise I dont see it.

WHAT WERE YOU SAYING!

it's toe to toe but obviously they aren't use to it because they cover up a lot and wait 1 or 2 seconds. hatton will pound him on and on if he can. just wtahc if hatton is allwoed to fight close up then floyld will resort to jabbing from far.

I have a feeling that this fight will be more action packed than his fight with DLH. Reason being is that floyd will technically be the bigger man so he shouldn't be as reluctant to engage. Hes still gonna play it safe but i sense he will have a bigger punch output in this fight.

You do know that you can go toe to toe and still make a person miss. That doesn't mean you aren't used to going to toe to toe it just means if you can avoid a punch while in close quarters that is what you are going to do. There is more than one style when fighting toe to toe. Some like to just slug it out without any defense. Some will slip all the punches they can while throwing all the punches they can. Both are still going toe to toe.
In saying that my question to you is if PBF is making Hatton miss in close while countering his shots why would he resort to jabbing from a far? Unless the shots that Hatton does land are affecting him that much which I doubt but you never know.

How do you know Hatton is strong enough? Has anyone ever knocked Floyd out? Who says his chin isn't Carlos Baldomir caliber?

Had Castillo been stopped the way he did? Did Kosta ever get done they way Hatton done him?

[micky_knox]

floyd is not strong enough to knock Hatton out, Ricky is strong enough to knock Floyd out. Floyd is not going toe to toe, he would have to be an idiot to do so

i tend to agree with that
