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

[BmoreBrawler]

regardless, even with what you have just said, to say he has the best footwork p4p puts his footwork better than mosley, better than mayweather, better than hopkins, better than calzhage, come on man.

um, so because those are better fighters they obviously have better footwork? Hatton IS footwork man, if he didnt have that he'd have tony booth's record by now.

...that fight is not an example of great footwork at all, especially if your making a case for p4p footwork, that statement within itself is a huge stretch. Hatton's footwork is underrated because i think alot of people overlook it, but its not even close to being p4p best because as i said before, he clinches too much to make his footwork a dominating factor. the tszyu fight is an example in holding and hitting, not footwork, and ill be damn if i force myself to watch that fight for a 4th time

Footwork puts you in the position to be able to punch the guy in front of you. In Hatton's case, his footwork puts him in the position to 'clinch' his opponent and headbutt him, elbow him etc.

It's all about footwork. First thing they teach you in boxing..

Hatton crowding someone and giving different angles doesnt equal outstanding footwork, his footwork gets him where he needs to be, but its not the best in the game p4p, because like i said, if it was, he wouldnt worry about clinching because he would be moving in and out, not holding and being seperated.

Footwork is getting himself in the position to punch the other guy. Just because he doesn't go in and out...doesn't mean he doesn't have great footwork.

Um, no.

If he wasn't fighting the Pendleton's and Oliveira's he'd have Tony Booth's record.

Lol ok.

Azteca knows what he's talking about, anyone who says otherwise on this issue probably doesnt box.

PBF and Hatton are the only things discussed on this forum. PBF's loud mouth and his defensive/evasive style of boxing. Hatton's hugging and him ballooning up to 170ish lbs between fights.

Yeah we absolutely need more Pac threads like a camel needs water in the desert.

People say that Floyd ducked competition and that Hatton ducked Floyd. Floyd may have ducked KT but Hatton did not duck Floyd. To duck, in my opinion, means to say that you’re the best and are willing to fight anyone, and then when the fight is offered decline or put in impossible to meet demands. Hatton did not say he was the best. He said he was not ready to fight Floyd. That’s not ducking. Now he thinks he’s ready and he’s signed the fight.
