Hatton: "I'll Be On Him Like A Rash"

[moofo]

What is with another quote dios?
What are you trying to prove?
Nobody argues it was a tough match for Hatton.
You are a very strange obsessive character.
Do you enjoy killing small animals?

I'm not a Hatton hater. Ricky is a nice guy, personable, genuine- and he's a solid, passionate fighter. I'm not sure that the declarations I've been coming on this board and reading mean the Hitman will win, though. Ricky Hatton is known as a pressure fighter. He's going to step forward and bring the fight to Mayweather all night long. Does pressure spell a win? No. If a slow, plodding fighter pressures a slick, fast boxer he's going to get tattooed moving forward. Now, I'm not suggesting Hatton is slow and plodding...but can we all agree Floyd is faster? If so, Hatton needs to show he can break down the faster, slicker fighter to have a chance. Can he? I'm not sure Mayweather is the cowardly, weak, incompetent runner that many of you paint him to be. This very well could be an easy win for Floyd.

I don't think Floyd is cowardly, weak, or an incompetent runner. He can be brave, he's shown some respectable power at times, and he's most definitely a very competent runner.

Njord,

That would be consistent with the overwhelming majority of the experts. But experts are sometimes wrong.

Boxing is a sport where "anything" can happen. The reality is that "anything" seldom does. The favourite that the experts choose usually wins.

But Hatton knows just how difficult it will be to defeat the Pretty Boy. "He's got amazing skills," Hatton admitted. "He's pound-for-pound the best in the world, he's great to watch, skilful, lightning fast, I always watch his fights.

mayweather runs throughout 12 rounds. he should be a championship 200 metre runner. since when does he fight the last rounds with his heart? the guy runs to victory like he getting chased by a rhino.

He ran from Baldomir and it pissed me off. It was blatant running and the crowd were having none of it.

if you have seen the film rocky? a physically smaller and slower slugger vs a quick, sharp boxer. these fictional characters could be classified as david and goliath. the raining world champ vs the underdog. ofcourse it may be that hatton loses, but atleast if mayweather wins, hatton has stated that he would have earnt the win.

New article: Arum and Roach both agree that Floyd is not #1 p4p because he can't put people away when they're in trouble and he's boring. Arum says Floyd loses to Cotto and Mosely.

Oh, sorry Dios. I didn't mean to interrupt your drivel. Please proceed.

Pressure is good but if it's not effective it means nothing. I don't think Rick really has a chance. Mayweather's just a smarter fighter than him. And I think Hatton will get frustrated in trying to solve the Mayweather puzzle.

Hatton hasn't used his jab much which he will need to fight Mayweather but, I don't see him using it in this fight.

I think when Ricky gets in there he's gonna be surprised Mayweather's accurate and sharp punches are gonna hurt. We are all focusing on how Hatton is relentless and he will **** away Floyd to the body. But I think we are not talking about how Ricky will be able to take getting hit the most he ever will in his career.

Agreed. Experts can be wrong. The intangible for me has less to do with Mayweather's skills and more his training for this fight. If a basketball player is out on injury for a long time his shot can be off when he returns. That's because making shots has to do with finesse...just like Mayweather's style. If he's off his game he can be in real trouble. He's not a ****er that can always KO the guy with one shot or come back if he falls behind on the cards. He has to be on his game from the first round to the last. Dancing with the stars does not help him dance with Hatton.
