    Nah Hatton should not go with that..
    If he goes in there like that and he dosent get rid of him
    which no one has really come close to doing let alone 4 rounds
    he may tire down the line and get taken out himself..

    controlled aggression
    Not going in there to do it all in the early rounds cuz it may not happen

      I think Hatton should get a feel for the fight in rounds 1 to 3 and then take Mayweather out in either round 4, 5 or 6.

      Really go in for the kill like no other.

        I don't agree with that.

          'Madman' tactics will lose him the fight before it's even started. Controlled pressure and smart body-punching will win Ricky this fight. How do you wear down a gifted athlete that never tires? Go to the body, and do it often. Easier said than done but it beats throwing everything he has at Floyd in the first 4 rounds.

          Lennox, re-evaluate your opinion.

            Yeh it could work man but im just saying save something hold back
            a little.do not go in there thinking that i can take him out early in case it dosent come on..
            Then you know floyds gonna turn it on in the later rounds
            so Hatton has gotta be aware of that

                  I don't think Lewis rates Hatton as a boxer tbh. The audio interview on that page suggests as much. Lewis was a lot more like Floyd in style and he thinks Foyd will win.

                    Yeah I think that Hatton should start quickly and put the first four in the bank with plenty of body punching, with a view to wearing Floyd down in the later rounds. He won't stop Floyd in four rounds, that's just bananas.
