DLH caught Floyd mostly with right hands which is not really his power punch. Almost all of DLH's knockouts come with the left hook, (most likely because he's naturally left handed) but he wasn't really able to land any of those. The only thing you can land on Mayweather's head is a right hand, an accurate one as well. Mayweather blocks left hook no problem he's been doing it all of his career, he mastered that. But yeah ODL landed some decent punches, nothing major though.
Forget about Baldomir he has 13 knockouts in like 50-60 fights, don't remember the exact numbers. I'm also pretty sure that most people think Mayweather's chin is not all that when in fact it is very solid.Comment

If Hatton lands his best punch at the best angle and in the right spot, Floyd recoils through the ropes in pain and gives Larry Merchant an early visit.
But we all know that it isn't Hatton's gameplan to try and knock Floyd out with his best possible punch, atleast not to the face.Comment

Hatton wont be able to land his best punch though, his shots will be blocked and he will get countered through 12 rounds while landing with good accuracy. Accuracy = good chance of cuts on Hatton but also good chance of breaking hands due to landing too many punches on Hatton's solid chin.If Hatton lands his best punch at the best angle and in the right spot, Floyd recoils through the ropes in pain and gives Larry Merchant an early visit.

I know it wouldn't land, because to land your best punch requires more than just flinging your arms, there are after effects.. IE. being open for the counter.Hatton wont be able to land his best punch though, his shots will be blocked and he will get countered through 12 rounds while landing with good accuracy. Accuracy = good chance of cuts on Hatton but also good chance of breaking hands due to landing too many punches on Hatton's solid chin.Comment

This may happen some of the time. But, after just seeing the Floyd/Oscar and the Hatton/Castillo fights, I am sure that Hatton is a MUCH more active and aggressive fighter than Oscar was when he fought Floyd. There is no doubt about it. Hatton is going in there and he won't waste any time doing it. None of this following Floyd around and waiting for a chance to counter and then rushing Floyd to the ropes for a flurry. That was what Oscar did (especially the last 5 rounds). Hatton will be all over Floyd from start to finish for as long as his stamina holds out.
