Lennox Lewis: Hatton must do it in 4 rounds

[hugh grant]

Lennox i think you may be suffering the after effects of Vitalis punches. Hatton neednt have to do it in 4 rounds. The eighth roound seems good onwards. Those bodypunches will wear him down eventually. By the 8th rounds, PBF will be noticeably slower i bet and not dancing.

I like Lennox, but I think he is wayyyyyyyyyyyy off on this one. Smart pressure and making FLoyd fight every minute of every round is the key. Ricky has to destroy Floyd to the body and wear him down late. This is the only chance I think he has of winning.

lennox is a ****

[BmoreBrawler]

'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.

how do you GET to the body(against someone like floyD)? go in like a madman

He'd get picked off like Gatti i reckon if he dosent becareful

Please, no other Gatti comparisons. Hatton has been the lineal JWW champ for 2 and a half years now. Hatton is by far on another level.

Spot on I reckon. I will make the same bet I did when he fought Kostya T. Late round KO say 9 or 10 or 11. £ 20 on each. ££££££££££££££££££££

Its not about being on another level Bro if Hatton comes out there
swinging wildly and going for Broke his gonna end up Broke
getting Tagged off regardless if he is a better fighter then Gatti or not...

Lennox didn't actually say 4 rounds, this is just an example of the media twisting things. They picked up on a very small segment of the interviewer and made it the main issue. The interviewer was summing up what Lennox was saying:
Interviewer: "...so if Hattons got to do it, he's got to knock him out in those first four rounds probably" - (it was the interviewer who mentioned the 4 rounds not Lewis.)
Lewis : "No doubt, he has got to really impose his will, go out like a madman in there and really go at it" - (Lewis didn't agree or disagree with the 4 rounds the interviewer mentioned, he actually overlooked it, but all of a sudden Lewis has stated Hatton needs to knock out Floyd in 4).
Classic media manipulation.

weird. Nice way to get tko'd!!

He does need to throw alot if he gets Floyd on the ropes though.

Yeah and punch yourself out before 6 rounds, and then get picked off by the most accurate puncher in boxing. Sounds a bad idea to me.
