I want you to imagine for a moment!

Chavez got knocked the **** out though. ou put together this gameplan also not considering the fact that Hatton is a small man at 147 and mayweather is more of a welter than he is. So he might not have the strength advantage and he will probably be getting popped in the face by accurate punches while trying to come in.

Hatton may be getting popped in the face while coming in, but you are mistaken IMO by saying Floyd is the bigger man. Floyd's only physical advantages are height and reach. Now, that's alot. But, Hatton is bigger than Floyd in physical structure. You will see this when they get into the ring. Floyd will not manhandle Hatton. No way!

[Eno]

I don't think he will manhandle Hatton. But Hatton won't be manhandling Floyd either.

Your second point there is up for legitimate debate. The issue will be decided in the ring....for our viewing enjoyment.

again. I hate using sideways analogies but. was ODLH bigger and stronger at 160 or was he infact bigger and stronger at 147.

i know that seems counter intuative at first glance, but examine it for a moment.

The opposition dictates the size advantage. Yes, oscar was bigger at 160, but was he a bigger puncher? I don't think so. His left hook was vaunted at 147, but against sturm, and Hopkins it looked weak to say the least!

Catch my drift?


Mayweathers bone structure is that of a 130 lb man. Hattons bone structure is that of a 150 lb man.

Hatton can walk around at a natural 160. Floyd has to beef up to maintain that kinda weight.


That says everything that needs saying as to who the bigger man is.


I gaurentee you, Floyd will be doing a whole lotta backing up once hattons digs to the body a few times!

Yep and Floyd will elect to go for a decision. This will be his downfall. Ricky will come after him relentlessly and if he doesn't get him, Ricky will get the decision because he will be the aggressor. There is a reasonable probability of this happening, IMO.

round 8 would have been the better round for reference, but u had to watch all of 7 which was lackluster.

Point is Chaves has absolutely NO defense and was able to close the whole fight and at time **** for extended periods against floyd.


Hattons body attack is worlds ahead of chavez and he closes much better, has more power and can take a better shot.

Hatton is so live in this fight it's crazy.

I can't wait for december. I have rarely been as sure of myself with a prediction.

Add how Floyd generally gives the first few away anyway and Hatton gets strong about 4th round or so.


It all adds up to a bad bad night for the ATG Mayweather!

In fairness though, Chavez had a career night, he has NEVER looked that good.
Although I will admit if Floyd gets stopped it will be a direct result of Hatton's brutal body attack.

Oscar was **** at 160, his best weights were 147 and 154, look what his left hook did to Mayorga's iron chin.
Fact is, Oscar has excellent power and was about 166 on fight night against Floyd and Floyd was still able to take his punches without problems.

Actully it was a corner stoppage, Chavez was never even knocked down.

Well, where has it become boxing canon that just because a boxer gains some weight, he automatically gains punching power?
