Wow.. That's quite a statement.

Wow.. That's quite a statement.

Why don't you just go ahead and say it, Addie: "Wow...that's fairly ignorant."

Whenever I encounter someone who is slightly delusional I have a cautious approach because they may be delicate or unstable.

whenever floyd has fought inside the pocket with opponents he has destroyed them

[eric maldonado]

when hatton is inside all he does is push,grab and throw body punches. when hatton is inside throwing body punches he leans away to much and looks off balance one counter hook from floyd will send him right to the ground

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.

As much as I don't want to post in Addison's thread I will probably have to, since this thread is as good as any.

This fight is really very simple for me, it breaks down to two "cans":
Can Hatton catch up with Floyd and get him on the ropes and can Floyd fight off hatton, no matter the pressure circumstances and fighting at Hatton's pace and awkwardness.

The logic around this is simple, if Floyd manages to stay on outside I predict a boring but confident 12 round decision for him. It's that easy, since Hatton won't be able to do much on the outside. On the other hand if Hatton manages to keep Floyd on the ropes and constantly punish the body, then the sea of possibilities opens up, including a late tko for Hatton or close decision for either fighter(make no mistake, Floyd's inside game is great, but he is no mauler like Hatton)
Then goes the second "can". Can Floyd(if Hatton get's his way with him) fight at Hatton's pace, punch at weird angles and get very physical with Hatton. If he can, then again it could go either way*but very close). If he can't, Hatton will wear him down and out.

even if floid gets to run and pot shot all nite, i think haten will have his moments. floid is already looking past haten, it's never a good idea to take an opponent lightly, anyone remember allen green getting KD'd by donnie mccrary? floid better be focused and in shape to go 12 hard rounds with haten, as soon as he makes a mistake haten will be all over him in the early rounds.

If Floyd didn't get so defensive and jumpy he might be able to fight inside a little better.. Poor guy doesn't like to get hit.

Ricky Hatton is one of the best in the game on the inside.

Mayweather SUCKS on the inside. The only thing Floyd tends to do up close is get punched in the face.
