I want you to imagine for a moment!

I've been hoping and praying for Hatton to win this fight, trust me.
I'm just not going to lay a god damn dollar on it happening though. I see this as a terrible match up for Hatton at best. This is the kind of guy that will give him trouble, and he's only fought 1 of them before in Collazo.

A poor man's, less mobile, less athletic, slower, less skilled southpaw version of the fighter in Mayweather he's going to face.

Yeah right. Spare us the lies man.

No, I dont think Floyd has the speed he had at 130, but I do think he has more one punch power (wobbled Oscar twice, no small feat) and can still throw 1 or 2 punches just as fast as he could in his prime.
Castillo was a great fighter, and was in his prime fighting Floyd, Hatton demolished a washed up version of Castillo, and everyono knows it.

Theres a reason Floyd is the favorite in this fight, he has great speed, footwork, defense and chin.

I think I need to ask you how you think Hatton can hang with Floyd when he had serious problems with Collazo, who has very little power (27 fights, 13 ko) and outboxed and even hurt Hatton.
Floyd has better technique, defense, speed and a longer reach than Collazo.

Good question.

What you won't hear around here is hatton moved up and took a championship fight on three weeks notice!

Hows that for ya. Three weeks to fight a champion in a higher weight class. I think we can cut the guy a break!

As to the fight? Hatton took alot of punishment and kept comming the whole fight. Never backed up once. watch the fight before you use it as a benchmark.

Hatton will have more than enough time to make weight properly for this bout. Lets see how he does with proper training and diet and proper time frame!

It's a big flaw in logic to use that fight as a benchmark to hattons ability at 147!

Yeah right. Spare us the lies man.

Run dislikes Floyd and has been rooting for Hatton to beat him since 05.
Get a clue.

Well obviously he didn't outbox Hatton, because Hatton won the fight! Collazo was no push over that night. It was a good fight. So what?

And, to dismiss Castillo as washed up is a dangerous assumption to make. Castillo never laid down to anybody. He quit because of a broken rib. It's real stretch to say Castillo's rib was "washed up." Fact is, it broke because of Hatton's power to the body. Simple as that.

a) Oscar looked very good that night.
b) that fight was not close.

I thought it WAS close. I guess you missed all the booing over the decision. IMO had Oscar not abandoned the jab, he would have won that fight.

Thats because you dont know how to score a boxing fight.

People booed because they wanted Oscar to win.

I cant believe I have to spell this out for you.
Its kinda sad.

Wow, Floyd beating the crap out of Chavez really tells us a lot about how Hatton will WIN..

You can be outboxed and still win a fight, it happens all the time.
Collazo is not a world class fighter and FLoyd is.

Castillo was ****ing DONE dude. To deny that is pure insanity.
He couldnt even take Herman Njoudou for christ sakes.

[Easy-E]

But Collazo exposing Hatton's propensity to be outboxed means nothing...

I was at that fight you ******.

Hatton had over 6 weeks to perpare for that fight.

And how is it a flaw in logic to use Hattons ONLY FIGHT at 147 as a benchmark of how he will do at 147???!?!

I feel like I am explaining basic boxing principles to first graders, this is insanity.
