The SMARTER fighter: RIcky or Floyd?

[Kobe Bryant]

Watch the Urango fight. Hatton was rightly criticised for a lackluster performance - but he could have easily lost if not for his clever methods and smart Boxing. Read Kayjay's post. Listen to how he words it.

Your feeling is respected however.

I think in the Urango fight he boxed for the first 5 rounds. He was really using the jab well and was on the outside. I think he does his self a disservice by coming in sometimes. Against Castillo he could have put him away much quicker. He would rip a quick one two combo and fall in.

But against Mayweather he shouldn't try anything out of the ordinary. He needs to fight that type if a fight on the inside.

I can agree with that.

I agree. They do different things in there but both are ring masterminds.

ricky is FAR from a ring mastermind.

[tredh]

This question really didn't need to be asked.

ricky is FAR from a ring mastermind.

Why? Because he doesn't indicate?

This is the same crap with Mayweather having the best defense in Boxing..


Don't think Hatton got to where he is with a style that appears very simple and crude. Your eyes are decieving you. Hatton is sharp.

I never saw Ricky at risk of losing that fight because he had a dinstinct speed/fluidity advantage to the muscle-bound Urango.

I DO, however, think that was the fight that turned me off to his fight style forever. I was OK with Tszyu, and I could live with the Collazo fight. But Urango was unwatchable.

hands down floyd is the smarter fighter and he will use that most likely to get another victory. hate him or love him floyd is good at what he does and it will take someone that can match his skill as well as ring intelligence to beat him. Thats why I said in another thread that mosely might be the best canidate to do it.

It was pretty bad..

[Kobe Bryant]

He was also quite fatigued in that fight.
