I think Berto sucks, so I don't give a **** about his opinion. Now, everyone is favoring the underdog hatton. This is bull****, floyd boxes while hattons first instinct is to try and ko his opponent.
Of the 20 experts to make selections, only 4 of 20 picked Hatton. The other 3 experts besides Andre Berto to pick Ricky Hatton were all journalists. Each work for British Boxing News, Manchester Evening news, and a freelance British boxing writer, respectively
Elite,
It was Berto and three British journalists out of 20 people. Please put that into perspective.
I like Hatton by KO.
But I have a feeling Floyd wins with his
usual defensive game, ala Mayweather-dela Hoya
Manila,
Hatton did not KO Urango, Collazo, Eamonn Magee, Oliveira, Vilches, etc. Is it reasonable to predict that he is going to KO Floyd Mayweather at 147? A Floyd who hasn't been badly hurt his whole career?
I dunno about that. Hatton can win this fight. But he needs to do it in a systematic, wear-down-Floyd kinda way. And try to sweep the late rounds.
Hatton is to small and has the wrong style to beat the elite welterweights. When he fought Collazo he won the decision but took a beating. Collazo is no Mayweather. Hatton's claim to fame was beating an old Kosta Tzyzu who was washed up before that fight and wasn't a welterweight anyway. I like Hatton and am glad he's getting a good payday but while you can never say a fighter has no chance I would say that this would be a big upset if Hatton wins. Matador against the bull and in this case the matador is bigger and faster than the bull. Mayweather by lopsided decision
I have seen that analogy used a few times and while I think it is a good one, the comparison I prefer is dog vs cat.
This is a dog vs cat fight. Ricky is a tough dog, and Floyd is a wildcat.
Have you ever seen a fight between a dog and a cat of roughly same size?
Hatton will win...thats all there is to it....you cant go by what "experts" say....you should all know that...ANYTHING can happen in boxing! I just hope hatton takes the V home!
