[MartinJol]

would be an excellent fight if pbf was fighting with a broken right hand.

This is a ****** topic.

What's the point........we all know Floyd is ducking him.

hahahahahah
nice 10/10 post!

thats a hard one. if diaz gives floyd his room to box, then its a typical mayweather boxing clinic. but if diaz is relentless and brings his volume pressure, then diaz would edge it out. if i had to choose, i would pick floyd by split descision.

Is that how you see the Hatton - Mayweather fight? It seems to me that Hatton is going to employ some of that Baby Bull type of pressure.

Exactly. that is the style that can beat mayweather. non stop relentless pressure.

Maybe except the Baby Bull doesn't clinch every 5 seconds like Hatton does. He also isn't as explosive with his punches as Diaz.

I say forget about looking for opponents out of your weight class.

Judan Diaz has Joel Casamayor to worry about. Another slick boxer. If he can beat him then I might be convinced that he is capable of hanging with the Floyd.

Casa's getting a little long in the tooth isn't he?

Agree with you for the most part.. But Casa has not been the same since he suffered that loss to Castillo a few years back. Diaz is way too fresh for him. You're right though he should clean his division up. Not too sure about you're comparison with Hatton..

Well Wiley said that Hatton is gonna apply the same type of pressure as Juan did and I'm saying Hatton doesn't fight like Juan. When Juan is up close he ****s to the body or does his quick combination to the head.

What Hatton does is clinch and clinch some more. See Hatton/Urango for examples. He had a come forward fighter in front of him and he clinched his way to victory.

As far as Casamayor being done. I don't buy that, let them fight and I bet you it will be the toughest fight of Juan's career. He will probably escape by some kind of decision but I guarantee that fight will be close.

There are differences between Hatton and Juan, but the primary tactic is the same...relentless pressure and inside fighting.
