Why do Floyd Fans compare Hatton to Gatti ?

[WLAD OWNS]

These are the only similarities between Hatton and Gatti:

1. They are both white

2. They both have a huge fan base

3. They both have good chins

4. They both have a ton of heart

Other than those similarities I mentioned, they are two completely different fighters skillwise and stylistically.

[RodBarker]

It's not the power i'm talking about. It's the fact that Hatton is naturally bigger and stronger.

Where does this stuff come from , Hatton is not bigger than Floyd and you will find he is not stronger , dont confuse a forward style with strength .

And here is Ricky at his biggest he has ever been in a fight and he is still smaller than Floyd .

And here is the size advantage Oscar had over Floyd ,, compare the three tale of the tapes and tell me Hatton is bigger , just more bull**** .

They have similar power, and have been in fights I would consider brawls more than once.

Regardless of their slight similarities, people are not really comparing Gatti to Hatton, what they are doing is looking the outcome of the Gatti fight and thinking that will be similar to the Floyd fight.

I really could give a **** ass about those bogus stats.

Ricky is thicker and stronger then Mayweather. You really think Floyd would power through Tszyu the way Hatton did?

Of course not... just like Miguel Cotto isn't going to outslick Shane Mosley.

Fighters stick to their styles... now, it is not unthinkable that Floyd could take Tszyu's shot... we don't know, Floyd's chin really hasn't been tested too much.

2 knockdowns (sort of):
1 because he broke his hand.
1 was when he was lunging forward and Zab caught him off balance. Argue that he was hurt in the 4th round, I'll agree, but he wasn't hurt on that KD.

Corley hurt him, but he recovered enough to hurt Corley and win the round.

Floyd's chin is a question mark.

The point is, it doesn't matter, because he would be laughed at for trying that strategy against Kostya Tszyu, unless it worked ridiculously well (IE standing toe-to-toe with Gatti).

The point is Floyd is bigger in all stats which means you were wrong and your answer to being wrong is the stats are bogus but your opinion is right because Ricky is thicker , hmm ,, your whats bogus .

Why would Floyd fight like Hatton , doesnt mean he cant what a ****** statement ,,, you haters come up with such bull**** arguments and you are being proven wrong time and time again all over the board , why,, because you type before you think without researching anything because your driven by hate not knowledge ,
