Tszyu: "Everyone Can Be Beaten"

[kayjay]

true true. EVERYONE can certainly be beaten, even floyd mayweather, jr. in my personal opinion, though, i dont hatton is the guy to do it, but we will see soon, wont we?

Exactly. Of course everyone can be beaten, it just takes the right guy.

I wish Hatton were that guy, but I wouldn't bet a dollar on it.

I do believe that everyone is beatable. Floyd is a good fighter but I feel that him doing other things while preparing for a fight will be his downfall. I think floyd is being a little too overconfident in this fight. The unfair thing is that if Hatton wins alot of people would make excuses and say that he didnt fight a fully focused Mayweather.

That's a good point. That's the best I've heard it fleshed out.

True. But ZERO excuses for Floyd. NONE.

But the flipside is that if a part-timing Mayweather still beats Hatton...

Has it not already been suggested that if Mayweather is missing sessions it is in fact the dancing sessions he is missing? In fact, wasn't it you who posted that?

Then I would say good for Mayweather.

I've heard you talk alot about previous fights, Mayweather's greatness, and Hatton's inferiority.. But I don't recall you ever breaking down the actual logistics behind why you think Floyd will win.

Hatton has the style to beat Mayweather. He can do it.

There is an excellent chance that Hatton wins.

......An excellent chance that Floyd loses.

Addy,

I have provided a detailed fight prediction. I'll cut/paste below:

Roger Mayweather On Tszyu vs. Hatton (2005)

Wow that literally shows the plans to have Floyd face Tszyu after the Hatton fight. Sort of like how they want Shane to beat Cotto.

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.
