Hattons' "Tactics"

Hatton - Fox Sports

"The tactics are going to be clear; I'll be on the front foot and Floyd will be on the back foot," he said.

"We might stand toe-to-toe for a bit - he likes to stand in there and make opponents miss and soak up shots - but I've got to be careful I don't put in too many punches the first six rounds and leave a bit of energy for the final six.

"But, tactically, I think I know what he's up to and I believe I'm going to do it."

What the ****[B]If this is our game plan Mr. Hatton ......You are screwed from the opening bell[/B]

Dec. 8th - What it all comes down to..

Floyd defeating a Junior Welterweight giving the illusion that he beat one of the best in his division when in reality he is a division below. Now what I am asking myself is, why is Floyd fighting Hatton? Even though it's gonna make money it doesn't make sense. Just what will this fight prove?? Floyd will win by a decision and give the illusion that he is fighting the best in his division, when in reality he is denying the people who do deserve a shot at this title a shot by avoiding them. Then his fan boys will run around saying he's faced and beat the best and the Hatton fight proves it but Hatton is a way smaller opponent who literally no one gives a chance in hell at defeating Floyd. If Mayweather makes such big numbers by himself then he shouldn't of had any problem making big number with Cotto, Williams, Mosley, Cintron or Margarito.

I WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR THIS FIGHT. WAIST OF MONEY AND IT WOULD BE MORE ENTERTAINING WATCHING THE GRASS GROW.

Floyd is the naturally smaller man here. Just because he's moved up in weight doesn't mean that he's bigger than Ricky. Floyd walks around at 150, Hatton walks around at 175-180. Floyd was fighting at 140 just 5 fights ago, remember? Ricky fought at 147 just 3 fights ago, remember? There is no size advantage for Floyd so quit your whining.

Hatton blows up on body fat, doesn't mean he is the same size. When he comes down weight he is smaller. And regardless, many have said it themselves.. Why does Hatton deserve the shot if he is "C class and hasn't beaten anybody" There's a bunch of contenders coming off of great wins in the welter division looking for the shot.

I think this fight is gonna be very similar to the Gatti fight..
I see this fight getting stopped on cuts or Floyd winning on points

**Vladimir303** · 11-30-2007, 06:41 PM

Nobody? Maybe I'm too late in the game and there is nobody left that believes in Ricky to bet their precious points.

Mayweathers mental state has changed for the worse I think. Before the De La Hoya fight he was Superman, remember he never hets hurt and never gets tired. No hes playing up to everyone one how his body if failing him? You dont think Gatti, chico, Mayorga, Hopkins and all top fighter have aches and pains?lol. Im telling you Money has a werid effect on some boxers. I still think Mayweather will win this fight, but sometime soon he might breakdown.
