lol, what about the Collazo fight? Didn't he shut down towards the end?

Cheers man

And Urango.

Jammer, I thought it was well-done and you have been K'd up.

Altho, I have stoppage bets outstanding, and I would end up owing a pricey steak dinner if hatton sees the final bell. ****er.

You boys better enjoy this piece of Fantasy.
That is all it is.

Well, I thought it was a well-written piece for discussion. Jammer is clearly not a Hatton-hater like I am.

It's not so much that I'm a Floyd nuthugger. I like him, but he is only in my top five. I've actually picked Floyd to lose before. Including by KO. It's just that I detest Hatton. And his fans.

In my visions of the fight, they are squeegee'ing Hatton's hemoglobin around his corner between rounds.

Jesus I nearly fell off my chair....
You are a funny guy!

Jam,

You have a great thread, and I will quickly offer my detailed fight prediction:

Round 1: Floyd comes out and stands in the middle of the ring. Fairly flat-footed. He is trying to gauge Hatton's strength and speed, and is tuning up his defense. Ricky is catious and throws less than usual. He has a good measure of respect for PBF's speed and counter-punching. He won't get reckless. Ricky was busier. Round 1 Hatton.

Rd 2: Ricky picks up the pace, and so does Floyd. Mayweather still isn't in form, and they fight a fairly busy but close round. Hatton eats some uppercuts and counter-rights. But RH is determined because he knows that he has to establish his fight. They may end up near/on the ropes. It is becoming clear now to Rick that he is not the stronger man in the ring. Close round. Either way. Probably Hatton on activity.

Rds 3/4: Mayweather is busier than in the first coupla rounds. He is landing consistently hard shots now, and blocking Hatton's increasingly wide shots. On some occasions, RH comes inside, clinches and tries to maul. PBF is retaliating by pushing off with the elbow/forearm, and the ref warns him. The first signs of wear appear on Rick's face. Rds 3/4 are Mayweather.

Rds 5/6/7: It is starting to get a bit ugly, and the outcome of the fight is clear now. Hatton, unable to muscle Floyd, and with a considerable skill/speed disadvantage, is getting hit too much. Ricky, being a gamer, rallies. But his face is starting to open badly, and he hasn't solved the puzzle of how to get to Floyd consistently. Perhaps RH takes one of these rounds, but this middle part of the fight is where FMJ really pulls away.

Rds 8/9: Very ugly. Very. At times, it looks "sixth-round-of-the-Gatti-fight-esque". Ricky, uncharacteristically, is fatiguing and his face is a mess. The ref and/or ring doctor has already taken a good look. Floyd puts his foot on the gas. He stays on the perimeter but is launching hard, straight stuff.

Hatton's corner, in a smart decision to preserve their fighter's health and psyche, elects not to send him out for round 10.

Mayweather TKO 9 Hatton.

You guys should start a new career.
All you need is a crystal Ball & some tarot cards.
The only trouble is you will be out of business within 24 hours when your horse**** doesn't come true.
Thanks for the comedy though guys....seriously this thread is funny ****.
Only nuthuggers could dream of writing an article on a fight before its even happened.

Mayweather TKO 9 Hatton.

That's fantastic stuff. I could definitly visualise this happening too, the way that you described it. There's one thing though, I wonder if Hatton's team would have the capacity or will to pull Hatton out of the fight.

Do you think Mayweather can only win by a TKO or a decision. Or do you think he has potential for a KD, or KO?

I'm not a nuthugger. I like Hatton and I've been watchin him for a few years now, but I'm a REALIST. Mayweather's skills are out of this world, and when it comes down to December 8th - all Hatton can hope for is a God sent miracle, or that split second of a moment that can change a fight.

Also, I have a tendency to root for the underdog.
