Who is the ref for Mayweather/Hatton??

[Dynamite Kid]

You mean to say that Floyd's skill and ability can be nullified by clinching? I don't believe that.

obviously it wont nutrilise all his counter punches but it would be a huge factor IMO if Hatton were allowed to do it ,for a start it would break up any rythm in PBF work

i think cintron will knock out williams, although williams did keep margharito at bay he will not get away with that against cintron.
hes much more pushy and aggressive.
the second part of your predictions that is wrong is cotto if caught by mosley will get knocked out but,i hope not as i like miguel.
and finally the hatton vs gayweather fight will go rickys way by single punch knockout by the eighth round.
dont forget floyd did fight an "over the hill" gatti,judah,mitchell, two of which were destroyed by kostya tzyu, mitchell twice early ko and kostya took judahs biggest punch in round one without a flinch and when judah was unbeaten and in his prime only to get ko in the second! and the only other fighter to beat kostya was vince phillips and look what ricky did to both of them. i wont mention the castillo fight as i agree that hes probably finished
and what with the purse trouble over the corralles fight(god rest his soul)
i think that was all to......mysterious...

[Yaconcha]

why are you saying ricky clinches and holds and wrestles?
go to you tube and look at his previous fights, check out the ben tackie fight or the phillips fight? hes not a wrestler or a cage fighter but at least he isnt afraid to fight ANYONE including ufc guys.
floyd is good but not that good and FAR from great, yet.
i do think hes good but not the man to beat.
manny is the man at the moment and then its joe calzaghe the longest current reigning world champion.
and maybe floyd somewhere about 6th place.......???

Look at his last fight at this weight

What I hate about Nady is that he's so damn huge, he makes the boxers look so small. I know he's like a heavyweight ref and supposely was a heavyweight boxer in his past, but damn. Especially when you got a ref that big calling the shots on featherweights. Looks real bad.

i agree to a certain extent but Hatton has tended to hold a lot more since he moved into true world class and his body punching against Collazo & Urango was non existent i know he made an effort to use more body attacks in the Castillo fight but that just goes to show you how aware he was of the fact that his body punching had dryed up a bit

floyd fans are getting their excuses in order.

Everyone should note that if floyd loses and hatton has clinched more than once in 12 rounds, it will be because Hatton clinched and the referee won him the fight.

****, i say no ref at all. wonder how long floyd would last then without the ref to bail his narrow ass out!

[deevel79]

They need a ref who is just going to let them fight! If the ref is going to break them up everytime they are fighting close, then its going to be at a big disadvantage for Hatton because he is an inside fighter. If they are going to penalize Hatton for holding when in close, then they should also keep an eye out for Floyd's elbow.

Nady should be the ref. He doesn't allow holding. If Nady isn't the ref this could turn out to be a wrestling match. With Hattons boring holding style it would destroy the fight.
