How will Hatton do it?

[Azteca]

Hatton is as good as Castillo was in his prime...except one thing. Hatton brings even more roughness and energy to the table than a prime Castillo did. Moving up in weight to 147 will make Hatton's energy that much better.

Hatton's chance (and he is capable) is to be rough, throw everything, stay active, and push Floyd back like Oscar did. Hatton, unlike Oscar, is better at being a pressure fighter and may be able to pull off the gameplan that Oscar was not able to.

Floyd will not have as easy a time with Hatton as he did with Gatti, or Mitchell, or a host of other fighters he fought. This fight will at the very least be just as competitive as the Oscar fight/Castillo rematch. I expect it to be even more competitive than that, however. Floyd throws less punches than at 135 vs Castillo, and has a tiny bit less speed as well. He has gained a little muscle mass with all this moving up in weight...and it will probably be a factor in December.

Very very well said.

i agree also very well said.

Mayweather has added muscle:

Very very well said.

Yeah, great post. Very valid points.

It's so nice to see objectivity!

Funny you mention it Dios. How would Floyd do against Wlad?

Mayweather 117-111 Klitschko.

Mayweather 117-111 Klitschko.

Damn, we agree for once!

Did you just compare Zab Judah's defensive abilities to Floyd mayweather's?
Not your best moment on this board.

If you can read, then you know what I said, Dios. Cut the petty crapola. You're in shock from Taylor's destruction and your drivel is now even more spasmodically biased than before.

Hyena,

Who was I rooting for in the Pavlik-Taylor scrap?

N'dou was also a long puncher.

His short punches were unnatural and ineffective. He could force control in the fight at times but he didn't know what do once he got there.

N'dou demonstrated how NOT to fight Mayweather.

But you can see even in this fight..

Even at the end - how effective Hatton could be.

This is one of Mayweather's best performances.

And I can see clearly how Hatton WILL capitialize.. Even here.

Observe. Even if you've seen it before.





Hatton's game is up close. That is what he does.

Mayweather advocates are banking that Hatton will be unable to trap Mayweather or get inside.


I'd say both parties are presuming and hoping at this point.

This post is interesting. What does Addison specifically see in N'dou's fifth round? Addison says N'dou showed how not to fight Mayweather, but uses this clip to show how Hatton will get it done. I referred to the N'dou fight for reasons already stated. Addison, evidently sees something else here. Can anyone provide an explanation?
