Mayweather has made it clear. It'll be a toe to toe battle. We know we've heard this before, but (Oscar was the much Bigger fighter and puncher). Understand this my fellow boxing "CRITICS". For the style of fight Hatton brings, mayweather will stay in the pocket and punish him. Hatton fans will be banking on his relentless pressure. One thing for sure Hatton is no De La Hoya (He lacks the offensive tools to keep floyd on the defensive) and they are pretty even, as far as weight (Hatton usually comes in at 147, and Mayweather 148).

i dont know that he will constantly stay in the pocket, but there will be toe-to-toe action in this fight, no doubt. prepare urself for some crazy ass responses from the floyd haters my friend, but good post either way. i agree hatton will be punished from all angles and from anything he tries on floyd. floyd will catch some punches along the way as well, but hatton will be tagged many many many times...

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 soComment

I dont get where all this talk of Hatton not having the qualities to keep Floyd on the backfoot comes from. Steptwome, you say that Hatton doesnt have that ability and yet Oscar does but I dont seem to remember Oscar doing any of that to Floyd in their fight. Oscar would force him back with the jab but then fail to throw anything of note. IMO, thats what cost him the fight. Had he unloaded on Floyd he may very well have taken the decision or even possibly stopped Floyd. Mayweather has made it clear. It'll be a toe to toe battle.

Everyone knows that Hatton is best when fighting on the inside (ask Tszyu or Castillo), so if the fight is up close and toe to toe then Floyd will be in trouble.
I cant see Floyd wanting to go anywhere near Hatton and simply trying to stay away and use his speed to box him from the outside.Comment

I'd say looking at all Rickys fights in the past, he has very very good power, just look at his ko %. Now almost all the time Ricky is the smaller fighter so thats shows he has good power. Now I genuinely believe Floyd will not have the power to ko Ricky. Therefore Floyd would surely be an idiot to stand there toe to toe with someone whos whole style is to get inside, especially if the other guy has enough pop to hurt you.
Floyd is a superb fighter, hes also clever and versatile in the ring, he's not gonna let Ricky fight the fight that he would be most comfortable atComment

C'mon Hatton's chin is not outstanding but it's not Corrales-level either. On a ten-point scale Hatton's maybe a 7-8 in terms of beard, Corrales is what, a 3?
On topic: I believe this. Floyd is nothing if not sensible to marketing. He knows he needs to fight this one in the pocket.Comment
