Why Floyd Will Beat Ricky

[Dynamite Kid]

If floyd gets the decision (and not the ko) it has nothing to do with the ref being an american. i want ricky to win, but dont believe he has much chance. floyd is a slippery boxer. like the original poster said, when ricky gets floyd against the ropes, which is what ricky likes to do, floyd will just roll out and hit ricky 2x on the way out. we've seen him do it 1000 times. this matchup is perfect for floyd. the guys who would give floyd a lot of trouble have longer arms, i.e. paul williams, margarito, cintron, but i dont believe floyd would really fight them because he knows they will give him trouble. I believe these are they guys he needs to beat to be an atg. i think he would beat them, but he seems wary of taking on the risk. hatton may be the bigger $$ fight, but it certainly isnt the tougher fight.

so long as he fights guys that he can get in on, hit 3 times, and be out before they know what happened, he will continue to win. If hatton finds a way to win, ill take my hat off to him, but something tells me my hat is staying right where it is. Floyd UD 117 - 111.

i agree, I also think somebody tall like Paul Willliams would be a good test for PBF he would still be favourite but it would be a intersting to see how he would deal with a tall Southpaw like Williams

as much as i love the Hitman my money will be on Floyd.

however i can see that Hatton has a chance, so i'm wishing that Floyd takes more pride in dancing with the stars than sparring.

if hatton does win it will be because floyd under estimates him and hatton wears him down.

but hatton has a weak defence, he takes too many shots and a boxer of floyd calibre will expose his weaknesses

but we live in hope and stranger things have happened in the ring.

I heard that Mayweather is in exceptional 'boxing shape' and has been skipping his dance practices.

How much did it cost you Dios to hire the Sugababes to sing this track to Floyd on your behalf?

its easy to pull apart a fighters style. When the bell rings its a different story. You can have the tools to win, but you may not be allowed to use them.

Personally i would prefer to see an exciting fight rather than a boring fight in favour of either fighter.

I am interested to see how Mayweather fights, and if Hatton can pin him on the ropes without getting hit too much on the way in.

My opinion seems to change everyday, but i think mayweather will outpoint Hatton or win by tko due to cuts. If Mayweather does win, i dont think it will be exciting.

If there is a ref with half a heartbeat who won't allow all that Hatton mugging and holding then Floyd wins rather easily.

Another fight where people are buying the media hype!!! Mayweather wins this one easy!!! This on paper is almost a mis-match when you look at the styles and the fighters they beat!!! When the bell rings Hatton will be the blown up little man. He had all he could handle against Callazo and looked like he got hit by a bus after the fight. I don't think Hatton will get knocked out but may get stopped because he will no longer be able to see. Bull against the matador and we all know who usually wins that one!!

[hugh grant]

I am realistic and i can understand why people would pick PBF to win. But there is no evidence to suggest it would be a mismatch. Noone has beaten Hatton so why will PBF beat Hatton so easily when PBF has been tested many a time? It is a rhetorical question i have put to you! I dont expect a reasonable answer.

[The Surgeon]

This is my opinion and sorry if I offend any Hatton Fan's

In every fight I have seen Ricky fight in he have always came in to a fighter straight this mean's a fighter like Floyd Mayweather will be able to jab and move sideways to throw hatton off.

Hatton likes to move fighters up against the ropes and unload Floyd is way to clever to stay on the ropes and take pot shots, If he does he will roll out as he always has

Ricky always lowers his head alot when throwing his deadly hooks to the body which will allow Mayweather to use his effective uppercut to score on the inside without taking punishment himself.

If Ricky can change his gameplan drastically then maybe he is a danger to Floyd's throne but if he comes in like he did against Collazo he gets caught end off

Thanks for reading

I'll be rootin 4 Ricky all the way man but thats a good post dude and i Could see it happening but 1 thing about Ricky is he closes the gap faster than any 1 in the sport and would make it a rough fight on the inside and although floyd has an excellent D and is great and spinning off the ropes i think Hattons body work could be affective. That said i think Mayweather will btoo much. People need to know Ricky Hatton comes to fight and will be a handfull tho, the guy aint no joke!

[KoolWillie]

I agree hatton is know joke when it comes roo fighting, but mayweather is no tzyu ...
