Mayweather-Hatton hype

[Maxy]

Jones was 35
Hopkins 40

Next, please



Taylor on the same level as Hatton? Please...

How come you forgot Tarver, btw?



HAHHAHAHAHAHHAH

OH MY GOD Marvin Hagler? Michael Spinks?

I said arguably because at the time he really was rated that highly.

Besides, that's a moot point. Hatton has more chance of beating Mayweather than Honeyghan did Curry, than Douglas did Tyson.

Upsets happen. If December 8th proves to be an upset it won't be a massive one so it's funny how people write Hatton off.

Hagler was close to breaking Monzon's record, and Spinks just moved up to HW to beat Larry ****in' Holmes.

I dont think anyone on earth rated Curry above those two.

My post was to point out the fact that you and the other two threw quite a bit of bull**** in the thread. I was not making a point about the outcome of the fight, or the size of the upset.

[crillz]

I think Hatton will put up a better fight than what you guys say BUT I don't think he will win, I think for the most part he will just relentlessly attack Floyd, I'm talking harder than he has ever done to anyone, maybe Tszyu and Urango combined but I think Floyd will out do him, he will find the right space to block all of Hattons shots and basically use his elbow to create striking room, I see Floyds longer arms and secretive power playing a BIG role in this one, I think for the most part Hatton will be GAME, no doubt about it but I think Floyd takes this off of pure skills, he will make Hatton hit everything BUT his target whether it be a shoulder instead of face or an elbow instead of arm and EVERYTIME he misses in that way Floyd will land at least 1 or 2 good on the eye shots and get the **** up outta dodge.. 100

My thoughts exactly, I don't really like either fighter. My only favorite Mayweather fight was when he fought Zab Judah, the way he adjusted in that bout to Judah's pressure was worth a PPV. But this...I have a feeling Mayweather is just gonna pick him apart. I mean if Collazo can, Floyd sure as hell can. I don't doubt Hatton will start the fight as strong as he can, but I mean Floyd's movement will just turn those swinging tiny little arms of Hattons into constant strike outs.

That old ass Lord of the Rings lookin ass on 24/7 said Hatton could hurt you with one body shot, granted it was a sweet shot on Castillo, but whens the last time you seen Ricky Hatton break anyone down, let alone with a single body shot? Rarely, if not ever. Yeah yeah "it could happen again." I mean I once rolled 5 7's in a row, but it's just not in Rickys profile to dominate caliber fighters. Collazo was a decent, a decent boxer with decent speed, and Collazo just about dominated that fight. lol Mayweather will fight 12 rounds like that, pot shot after pot shot.

I wont be surprised if theres a stoppage on Mayweathers behalf, If Floyd actually leans into those pot shots and keeps them coming, I can see a big night for him via stoppage with Ricky on his feet.

But neither fighter has a style thats worth the PPV, I just hope you guys are a little quicker when uploading it, I mean hook it up in the PM or somthin

[squealpiggy]

LMAO DEC 8TH CANT COME ANY FASTER. AND YOU GUYS HAVE NERVE TO TELL THEM TO STUDY BOXING LMAO. CAUSE SOMEONE COMES FORWARD THEY AUTOMATICALLY WIN A FIGHT LMAO. CASTILLO WAS A WAY BETTER TECHNICAL BODY PUNCHER, PRESSURE, SKILLED FIGHTER THEN HATTON WAS AND MAYWEATHER BEAT HIM TWICE. HATTON IS A CHUMP IN HIS FIRST PPV. IF HE'S SUCH A MONSTER AND A DRAW WHY IS THIS HIS FIRST PPV LMAO. IF IT WASNT FOR FLOYD HE STILL WOULDNT HAVE A PPV. HE'S IN IT FOR THE MONEY AS MUCH IF NOT MORE THEN MAYWEATHER HE KNOWS HE HAS NO CHANCE AGAINST MAYWEATHER DID YOU NOT SEE HIS LAST FIGHT AT THIS WEIGHT CLASS AGAINST AN AVERAGE COLLAZO LMAO. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE'LL HANDLE MAYWEATHER LMAO GET THE F OUTA HERE. ALL YOU PEOPLE HATE FLOYD SO MUCH YOU JUST WANT TO ROOT AGAINST HIM NO MATTER WHO HE FIGHTS BUT NOTHING WILL CHANGE HE WILL CONTINUE TO BEAT EVERYONE. HATTON ACTUALLY OUT OF FLOYDS LAST 4 OR 5 OPPONENTS HAS THE BEST CHANCE TO GET STOPPED. WAKE UP PEOPLE

That old ass Lord of the Rings lookin ass on 24/7 said Hatton could hurt you with one body shot, granted it was a sweet shot on Castillo, but whens the last time you seen Ricky Hatton break anyone down, let alone with a single body shot? Rarely, if not ever.

Hatton has broken down most of his opponents with a mixture of body and head shots, including Kostya Tszyu. His style is to break down opponents. Pointing out the ONE FIGHT which supports your position over and over is dishonest.

I wouldn't hold Tszyus W that tight, and there were better fighters to weather the Hatton storm after. I'm not sayin Hatton is garbage, but I would actually bet cash money on him losing to someone to the likes of Floyd.

I mean I hope Hatton wins, just cause I cant stand Floyd and his cherry pickin ass team.

Oh you mean all those little guys he fought until he moved up!!! Hatton beat a washed up really already retired Kostya Tszyu and who else!!! Name a in there prime world class fighter that Hatton beat, there are none!!! Hatton got his reputation alot like Gatti, by being in thrilling fights against fairly matched opposition. Mayweather is not Micky Ward and if you want to see Hattons chances as a welterweight just watch the Callazo fight again. Hatton fans don't want to talk about that fight because it just reinforces the point that Hatton can't win against Mayweather!! Hatton is a great guy and Mayweather is a lot like punk fighter Mike Tyson but that doesn't change the fact that on his best day Colazzo is a low top ten Welterweight that pounded Hatton every round and Mayweather is a pound for pound great fighter who will hit him twice as much as Colazzo did. Hattons only saving grace in this fight is the fact Mayweather is not a hard puncher so it should go the distance unless Hatton's face swells up so much he can't see. Even watching the 24/7 documentary on HBO really shows the difference in hand speed. As I've said little bull against the matador. The bull always loses.

Nice moving of the goalposts there, real class. I suppose you were one of the zero people who predicted a Hatton win against Tszyu and said he was washed up before the fight were you? Tszyu who was ranked number three pound for pound by the Ring magazine, Tszyu who had been at the top of the Junior Welterweight rankings for years, he was suddenly washed up after a competitive fight in which he was systematically broken down and outwilled?

You know something, you should spend more time watching actual fights and less time regurgitating the opinions of others on the internet, because this "washed up Tszyu" myth is nothing new, the same thing is claimed by all those people who for some reason cannot give credit to someone who they are not a fan of. Tszyu was a great win and a fantastic performance against world class opposition. This isn't just some Hatton nutrider claiming this. This was the opinion of every decent boxing analyst out there.

Mayweather is not Micky Ward and if you want to see Hattons chances as a welterweight just watch the Callazo fight again.

I've watched the Collazo fight at least five times. Rikcy had a bad performance against a much bigger southpaw fighter who is now campaigning at Junior Middleweight. He made a few mistakes, paid for them and still won the fight. For the record Hatton has this one chance to beat Floyd. Floyd is a better fighter, but he's not ready for Hatton. He genuinely seems to think Hatton is a come-forward one dimensional fighter like Gatti and that he'll dispatch him without much effort after "whupping" the great Oscar De La Hoya... And to help him in this end he's enlisted the services of Lovemore N'Dou and Carlos Baldomir! Floyd wins any rematch in my opinion, but Hatton wins this one.

Hatton is a great guy and Mayweather is a lot like punk fighter Mike Tyson

Haha "Floyd is like Mike Tyson"? Have you only heard of two fighters?

Even watching the 24/7 documentary on HBO really shows the difference in hand speed.

The two guys train in different ways. Floyd uses complex hand pad routines done at high speed that taxes his uncle Roger as much as it taxes Floyd himself. Hatton hits that body-belt and hand pads at full force. Now I'm not saying one style is right and one is wrong, but it's like comparing apples to oranges.

As I've said little bull against the matador. The bull always loses.

Aside from the fact that you are yet again regurgitating the opinions of others and trying to pass them off as your own (the phrase about the bull and the matador posseses an eloquence that the rest of your tedious writing lacks), you're completely wrong.

Ali - Frazier 1
Lamotta - Robinson 1
Duran - Leonard 1
Basilio - Robinson
Hagler - Hearns

and this guy

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Hatton will come to fight there is no doubt about that, but I think Floyd's better athletic ability will come through in the end. He wins decision now at 147 and I see him doing it again. The thing I want to see though is how Floyd is going to handle Hatton's body shots, if Hatton lands those pretty consistently the fight is going to be very interesting. Im definitely going to get the fight even though I don't think it will be very exciting. Mayweather hits you and gets out of the way and Hatton hits and holds. Let's see which man imposes there style on the other.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Taylor on the same level as Hatton? Please...

Jermain Taylor is on a higher level than Hatton. And I am as far from a Stammer fan as you will find.
