Eubank: Ricky needs supernatual in superbout
I've not seen a lot of Ricky, but he's obviously a come-forward fighter. I've seen quite abit of Mayweather down the years and he's magnificent.
Mayweather has 19 world championship wins and in that time would have encountered every style: the one's who hit and run, the tall fighters, the southpaws, the compact fighters, the rangey fighters, the movers, the maulers, the speedsters, the workhorses, the powerhouses, the technicians.
Logically, you'd say it would take something supernatural, emotional or out of the ordinary for Hatton to win.
Whether that's a Stuart Pearce spirit, law of averages, unproper mental preparation on Mayweather's part, size or body punching power, I don't know.

The strategy is this: For Hatton it is get inside and fight at close range; for Mayweather he cannot rely on the right uppercut one bit because Hatton can strike the knockdown drops with the left hook, so he must not let Hatton come close.
He's got to stick-and-move and keep him on the end of his combinations to the head and body.
If he can do that for six rounds then I think Floyd will do it. He can't be a weak puncher because when he's not fighting a chess player he annihilates people. But if Ricky closes the distance then it looks like Hatton.
