      i'm not counting hatton out at all, anything can happen, upsets happen all the time, especially in boxing, that's one of the great things about it.. i'm just simply saying that i have a feeling that all this build up to the fight is gonna simply lead to a victory, and maybe easy one at that, for mayweather

        He's a fighter that can switch up if something isnt working right. You saw how he stayed away from the ropes with DLH? In other fights he would play on the ropes for awhile,not in that fight. He know when to throw some combos to get his opponents hopes back down then go back to pot shoting. He knows when to use exceptional footwork also.

          I couldn't agree more. I'm rarely 100% certain of any outcome.

          Anything can happen in this sport. That's what I love about frankly.. Thus the betting and wagering that goes on. Without the possibilty of losing I don't think I'd take any satisfaction in winning.

          I'm never surprised at an upset or unexpected outcome. This is that game.

                Right I can see your point. That would be disappointing.

                Instincts can't be argued.

                  Now that is what is going to make this a good fight. ^

                    Eh true to somewhat degree.

                    I think the counters, elbow push (especially this), and his right hand lead will really be useful in this fight though.

                      Keep deluding yourselfs-one more week before the bubble bursts and everyone is accusing mayweather of being an overhyped, over protected fighter.
