Hopkins Tips Hatton for victory

[legalaffairs]

Boxing legend Bernard Hopkins has tipped Ricky Hatton to defeat Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas this weekend.

Hopkins said he expected Hatton to "out-hustle Mayweather to a 12-round unanimous decision" in the early hours of Sunday morning, UK time.

"I see something in Hatton, I think he's the more focused fighter," Philadelphian Hopkins told BBC Sport.

"Hatton is going to throw more punches than Mayweather ever did. The busier, more aggressive fighter, will win."


"Ricky is willing to be a slugger, but to throw punches in bunches, and that's rare in boxing today, and that's a dangerous guy because you can't keep him off you.

"That will be the difference in this fight. There will be some exciting moments early on, but at the end of the day, Ricky Hatton out-hustles Floyd Mayweather to a 12-round unanimous decision."

Hopkins also suggested that Hatton, 29, might be the hungrier of the two and that Mayweather, a world champion at five-different weights, could be battling complacency.

He's just cheerleading so that Hatton will have more market value when he fights his parter, DLH.

Hop needs a dose of reality.

lmao what you say may hold some truth. However, Hopkins is a legend and he knows boxing better than any of us. I think this can only be a good sign for Hatton and hopeully Hopkins is correct

If you throw 80 punches in a round..and land 15 how will you win.
