Is Mayweather vs. Hatton Going To Be A Boring Fight?

[Addison]

exactly my point... mayweather alone isn't going to be exciting (well, except if its going to be a real beatdown)...

I see what you're saying. Agreed.

[Addison]

It won't be boring for the same reason the first Durán/Leonard fight wasn't boring. Like Durán, Hatton will press the action and force Mayweather to fight for dear life as did Leonard.

Hatton will not grant Mayweather the real estate to display his boxing skills. He will cut off the ring and force Mayweather to retreat until he's pinned against the ropes.

In short, Hatton will be all over him like white on rice...

Well put - I completely agree.

I haven't heard the Duran/Leonard analogy before. It's not bad. Surely we can all hope. The problem is that Leonard's fights were exciting, Floyd's for the most part, aren't. So half the equation is missing here. Hatton is going to have to do the work of two men to make this exciting.

Oscar didn't have the aggressiveness and stamina to get the job done, but aggressiveness and stamina are exactly the two characteristics that Ricky Hatton is famous for. So, IMO the fight will be very exciting and barring a Hatton stoppage for cuts, Floyd is in for a long, hard, night.

Pick: Hatton.

You don't watch much boxing now do you. It is in interviews on ESPN, on Boxing scene, everywhere.

i voted no.

its going 2 be fun 2 watch mayweather school hatton and laugh at all of rickys groupies.

not hatton though, because he is likeable.

[Addison]

Floyd knows that Hatton doesn't have the power Oscar does, so he will be less likely to put so much priority on defense in this fight. I think Mayweather will be more exciting than the skeptics think for sure.

There is certainly a great possibility of that.

The fight will be boring. The finish will be a stoppage due to blood.
