    Hatton wont be able to throw a body shot without nady deducting a point. Surely he wouldn`t agree to fighting Floyd with Nady in charge, that would be suicide.

      Floyd likes his space, and time to pick his shots. Hatton obviously doesnt give opponents any space. He smothers them and and applies constant high intensity pressure. He wears down his opponents.

      Floyd is defensivly minded, and on the inside his main concern is not getting hit. Then once his opponent misses with his shots and stops his attack, Floyd pot shots. I think Hatton will try to just out work him constantly. Suffocate the **** outa him, out muscle him, and try and land some hurtful body shots. I believe it is possible Hatton can win a UD.

        Those are two of his last three fights, so I think it's perfectly acceptable to use them as a basis of analysis. And the analysis is that Ricky Hatton has gained the reputation of a late fader. Like I said, he was fat again at the press tour. I don't care how hard he's training now, he's going to wear out like he has been. Urango wore him down by being durable, which Floyd won't do. Collazo wore him down by slipping punches, countering and making Ricky move around. Floyd will do the same, only a thousand times better. Just watch.
        Hatton already has the reputation of a fighter who doesn't fade in fights. Which is why his fading in the Urango fight was considered such a shock to the commentators and spectators. Hatton will be ready to go fifteen rounds, just as he was against Tszyu, just as he was against Castillo.

            It seems realistic. He only started to falter aftr the sixth round, Hatton's best of the fight.

            Anyone who says "Hatton as a reputation as someone who fades late" has only seen two fights. Hatton's gameplan is to start fast and keep up the pressure for four rounds, box smartly for the next few and step it up down the stretch. And throw plenty of right hands to the body.

              Hattons gameplan will be to sortie into Mayweathers body for the first 6 rounds.

              It will have to be controlled though. I can see Hatton hurting PFB in the midrift. Them ribs shots really f&*&ing hurt.

                I think Floyd will be more likely to fade when he is fighting at a pace he isn`t comfortable with.

                      If Hatton had beat the crap out of Collazo I would give him a chance in this fight. What happened was Hatton won but was getting beat up in the process. If you looked at both fighters after the fight you'd have thought Hatton recieved a beat down. I think neither fighter will show anything new in this fight and looking at their styles and previos wins at the weight you simply have to favor mayweather by a wide, wide margin. Hatton could win and if he did it would have to be concidered an upset. Myself I won't buy this fight because after you ignor the media bullsh*% and look at it subjectively the outcome is almost easy to predict. Mayweather by decision, him running backwards and Hatton chasing him getting his face peppered for his trouble
