Why do people have so much hope on Hatton?

[Energy]

The only way I see hatton winning is applying constant pressure on floyd. he has the stamina to do this the whole fight. i see no other way cause he definitely will not be able to outbox mayweather. the only thing he can do is bully him against the ropes and whale on his body. given floyds good footwork and elusiveness that would be hard to do. but hey if a 34 year old past his prime DLH can cut off the ring hatton should be able to do that as well.

Ricky is not even close to Oscar's size. That's easier said than done.

This is one of the worst posts I've ever seen. I'm asking how will Hatton win and you come up with that nonsense, trying to act like a wise smartass.
"You tried with this thread and you failed....try again kid." shut the **** up *****
you make no sense. no wonder you got a red bar. You're ****** and look at the negative sides of things. You still didn't explain how Hatton will win which is what I asked for? I didn't ask for a geeky response..

Do you need a cotex for your bleeding cameltoe? Your title of this thread says How come so much hope for Hatton...I responded to it!


DIP**** RETORT.....think before you try and come over the top lil sally

Just like I predicted, you were dumb.
The thread question is rhetorical, you respond to the question in the post.

You know thats a very good point. i see the fight being similar to that of Andre Berto vs. David Estrada minus floyd getting a swollen eye.

The ratio of Hatton winning this fight basing on their skills could be just 20%. It would be very difficult for Hatton to penetrate Mayweather's defense. But I'm still buying on that 20%, a wild, lucky, desperate punch on the body on late rounds, when Floyd is ahead on scorecards, will let Floyd kneel in front of Hatton and Floyd wouldn't beat the count. Hatton's killer body punch will pull an upset.

Ricky is a sworming fighter, who fights his fights in close and CAN throw a lot of punches. Also at 140, even though this IS at 147, he doesn't get tired too often. It's rare. He's the kind of fighter JLC WAS when he fought Mayweather, expect he has the added advantage of fast feet, aswell. He's in his prime and has a decent punch with GREAT body punches, so he has a GOOD chance of pulling off an upset. I just happen to think he wont. Chance, though.

i think you're exactly right. The way to get to mayweather is to pressure him and go to the body to try to slow him down. JLC did it his first fight, and so did Jesus Chavez. Hatton's relentlessness and stamina will make it interesting, however, I think that Mayweather's accuracy will ultimately prevail

At the risk of sounding repetitive...

...and knowing this debate will go on for a while, based past performance, I'll say Ricky has a good chance to last the distance and will certainly connect on Floyd, as have other opponents.

However, how would Ricky beat Floyd who hasn't lost a single fight even against undefeated fighters? Can the same be asked of Ricky? Sure.
Based on each one's level of competition? I'm not sure.

All factors staying the same until fight night, and based on past performance, its easy to form the conclusion that Floyd will emerge victorious most likely by unanimous decision, since neither fighter has been knocked down or out in their fights.

Now if Ricky comes into the fight with a re-vamped plan of action, as Sugar Ray did in Leonard/Duran 2, or as Barrera did against Hamed, then I'd say yes Ricky has more than a chance to pull an upset.

As I stated in another thread, Floyd would also have to make some major mistakes that Ricky can capitilize on to further increase his chances of winning decisively.

The other question is: What mistakes does Floyd commit to make Hatton feel confident that he'll be assured the win?

Is Floyd perfect?

If he were, he would've won all of his fights without once being touched.

All in all, no one should take Ricky lightly. Stranger things have happened in the sport, and to do so would be foolish.

DUDE COLLAZO ALMOST HAD HIM DONE. TRUST FLOYD WILL FINISH HIM.

The collazo fight was a bad night for Ricky, he was knackered in the last round, which hardly ever happens to him. His conditioning wasn't right. Every fighter has a bad night, it was just bad luck that it happened to ricky when he was moving up in weight and the eyes of the world were on him.

He'll be in the best shape of his life for the mayweather fight, and his conditioning will be top notch.

To say that collazo nearly had him, so therefore mayweather will finish him off is way off the mark.
