Hatton: "Not a chance in hell Mayweather Beats Me"

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Of course you can think that, the midget hatton would be a 10 loss fighter if he didnt have unbelievable footwork.

Oscar exposed Mayweather's inability to keep off the ropes, the guy CAN be pressured into the ropes which shows lack of lateral movement, the reason why mayweather is so successful is his unmatched philly shell on the ropes and his reach/speed in the middle of the ring.

Good footwork, of course, but Hatton's is great and it is the sole reason for his success.

Hatton has better footwork than mayweather.

OK, thank you.

yes, he does.

Now to your credit these jibes haven't come from you...

They used to come from him. Now he thinks he's an intellectual.

1) I've always thought I was an intellectual.

2) I thought we agreed to leave the insults behind, and to elevate the level of discourse. You're trying to goad me, Fallback.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

yes, he does.

I respectfully disagree, I think Mayweather has better footwork and footspeed than Hatton. By far.

Review the Hatton-Tszyu clip I posted yesterday. You'll see some fast feet on the part of Hatton. He's really fast.

I disagree and I base this on Hatton's proven angled attacks leading to and the primary factor in 40+ wins in spite of his short reach, and Mayweather's KD by Zab Judah and being forced into the ropes and losing rounds as a result by ODLH.

They both have great footwork, Mayweather is a good in and out type while Hatton has unreal lateral movement, but overall I give it to Hatton. And before you bring up the "look at how well mayweather gets off the ropes" story, its a result of him tiring out opponents with the frustrating philly shell, not an incredible athletic move sideways.

Mayweather is the better fighter, Hatton has better foot movement, I know its hard to give credit to a white fighter for footspeed(FYI im not white so I have no stake in this regardless) but hey, things happen.

The Judah knockdown didn't diminish Floyd's footwaork in my eyes. He was trying to throw a low jab to the body, and got caught by a quick-handed power puncher. STILL, he wa barely off-balance and recovered immediately. Coupled with the other instance where they tangled, and both nearly fell. But neither didn't.

For example of orthodox/southpaw stumbling, please refer to Hatton going down on all fours in round 12 of Collazo.

I won't convince you otherwise, but I think that you will change your perspective after Dec 8th.

With regard to white fighters and their footwork, I think Paulie , for example, has very good footwork. So I don't bring any preconceived notions to that opinion.

a sign of not necessarily the greatest footwork. No one should go down when not hurt. He was caught off balance throwing single shots

STILL, he wa barely off-balance and recovered immediately. Coupled with the other instance where they tangled, and both nearly fell.

But neither didn't. ?

Irrelevant

I dont know if you have boxed or not, but I think you dont have a complete picture of what great footwork is.

Hatton has 40+ wins off of lateral footwork.

Him losing wont change that-Hatton losing will have very little to do with floyd's footwork, same with all of Floyds wins.

I think it's easy to get fixated on the notion of footwork as a purely defensive maneuvre, and if that were true then you'd be right, Hatton doesn't ever out and out defend by using his feet. But Hatton brings some things to the fight that Floyd doesn't have, for example his ability at closing the distance quickly and his ability at moving out of range by sidestepping out of the clinch. Hatton has very fast feet.
