..The Truth About Hatton's Chances...

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I thought it was a good read, not staurated with biasness like alot of people do on this site. C-Drone talked about how both fighter could win.

I agree with most of your points, but i truly do not see Mayweather knocking Hatton out. Mayweather knocked Gatti out because, one Gatti is a c/b-grade fighter, and two is because he had beef with gatti, He wanted his fans to know he was the next best thing. Besides that, he hasn't really knocked anyone convincingly. I think he had mediocre power in the lower weight class's, but since mayweather has been going up, his power is less of a force. I have floyd winning something like 116-112 UD, but I'll def be routing for Ricky to win!

Rane,

Just a couple of points....

a) mayweather also stopped Brules, stopped Sharmba, and knocked Corley down 3 times. His power at 140 was respectable. Sharmba had been in with some guys, and he said that PBF had a good punch.

b) At the lower weight classes, his power was way more than "medioce'. Way.

The tipping point seemed to be 147. His pop didn't carry to full-sized WW's/JMW's like Oscar and Baldo. But who HAS hurt Oscar and Baldo? Hopkins on a bodyshot. Period.

Hatton's only claim to fame was to beat a big name shot dancing with the stars fighter named Kostya Tszyu. Truth be told Tszyu was in reality already retired and took the fight because someone in marketing saw a way to make some money because of his name recognition so they offered him a good payday. Fact is Mayweather has fought and beat bigger guys with relative ease and unless he takes Hatton lightly this won't even be a tough fight for him.

Hatton should go to the body...Ok. But what happens to his face while he's doing it?

In order to be a GREAT body attacker, one hand covers your jaw/face while you attack one side, and then hands switch. It's being able to block well with one hand and attack quickly enough to get away with this. It's what seperates the GREAT body punchers(Cotto), from the average body punchers.

I think the key words there are "quick enough to get away with...". I'm doubting it...At least not enough times or effectively enough for this strategy to beat Mayweather. We'll see.

But that's what he has to go with. Because I seriously tried to see it for Hatton in a lot of ways, they're just aren't any. He has a shot, though. Like you said, we'll see.

Which explains why nobody was picking Kostya to win before the fight, right Mystic Meg?

[THe TRiNiTY]

Seriously, I think Kostya was a bit faded in that fight, but I don't think SHOT covers what he was on that night.

[Technical_Skill]
