    Which is another question that needs to be asked, on whether or not Hatton can take Floyd's best punches. We all have the idea that if Mayweather could stop Hatton, that it would be on cuts, but Floyd has an awesome jab to the body. He actually stopped quite a few people with body shots early in his career, and stopped Mitchell with the same body punch I mentioned. It is often said that those who dish out or prefer body shots, can't take them, so I'd like to see Mayweather try and go to the body a bit. It should also have an effect on Hatton's stamina going into the final stretch, especially after moving up (even though he did say he'd control his weight, I don't buy that being the main problem)..

    Though I still think if Floyd got a stoppage, it would most likely be on cuts, or from exhaustion and accumulation.

Ricky can box well enough to cause Mayweather problems, couple that with his concussive power and rib crunching hooks to the body and we have ourselves a new P4P #1 via a stunning knockout.
      That approach you're trying to point out will get Hatton beat badly. First off he is to short to try to outbox Floyd.

        Hatton can't take body punches well, at least he couldn't against Urango anyway. But he seems a bit more in shape now than I've ever seen him so they may not pose any threat to him, aside from a small sap on his stamina.

        Hatton's actually a very good boxer. I'm not saying he's on Mayweather's level, or even Mosley or Oscar's. But he's got some brilliant footwork and head movement which he displayed in the first 6 rounds against Juan Urango. That was before the body work effected him and he switched styles though.

          Yea he does, But if you put the smaller gloves on, I think that this fight would be a blood bath.

            Even with the regular gloves I think Hatton will ultimately leave his mark on Mayweather.

              Who gives a **** about the score? NOT ME.

              Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Floyd got HURT.

              HURT, I said!! HaHA.. DEAL.
              Floyd was stunned at best, far from hurt. That video didn't show much after that shot so I don't know why you even posted it and claiming how hurt Floyd was.

                  I don't know if he has the chin to take a ****ton of punches flush from Hatton... but I do know that he has avoided the punches (or taken the ones that landed) of DLH and Judah, which seem to hit harder than Hatton.
