Anyone who doesn't agree with that is in denial.

My first thought was that Oscar might knock him out.

There is a very GOOD chance that will happen.

Right I agree, the counters will be essential of course. When Hatton does give him space Floyd is going to land that right hand lead like he did on De La Hoya. But as far as this elbow push or any sort of other inside business that is not where Mayweather is going to have much effect as far as I'm concerned. If Hatton is up close Hatton is in the drivers seat, period.

very astute statement.
I would like to see Mayweather penalized in this fight for using the forearm. He has done it against every opponent he has fought that I have seen usually to the neck. If he is not penalized I would like to see Hattons questionable tactics overlooked as as a tit for tat. But as you stated earlier MAyweather tries to take this fight to the inside he better be prepared for a war and to absorb damage like he took in the first CAstillo fight.
