The Stats on Mayweather - Hatton

[Wiley Hyena]

Tommorrow night's WBC Welterweight title match between Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is one of the most anticipated bouts of recent years. Here are the comparative stats:

................Hatton:........................... ..........Floyd:

age:...........29................................. ..........30
height:.......5' 6".........................................5' 8"
reach:........65"..........................................72"
stance:......orthodox............................. ......orthodox
record:.......43-0, 32 KOs.............................38-0, 24 KOs

I've always maintained that if the same Hatton that fought Tszyu shows up on December 8, then Floyd is in for the fight of his life. Furthermore, it appears that Hatton has actually won the pre-fight head game battle. Thus, I've got Hatton to win a decision.

What do you think about the pre-fight head game battle, and will it make a difference?

Yeah, but Floyd has alot less KOs....so go figure.

[P4PKING_2008]

hatton has no advantage on paper. haha

[RodBarker]

Nobody smaller than Floyd will beat him !

[Wiley Hyena]

Nobody smaller than Floyd will beat him !

Is Hatton really smaller? Umm.....not sure about that. Reach and height are big factors, but not the only factors to consider. It's been said that Hatton is the bigger guy, structurally speaking.

Yeah, but Floyd has alot less KOs....so go figure.

I think the level of opposition may have a little bit to do with that.

The fight is at 147 in Vegas. Therefore, 10 oz. By rule. Right?

And FMJ wears Winning. Unless Oscar makes him wear Reyes (puncher's).
