Hatton vs Mayweather Rematch.

[QUISQUEYA]

My point exactly ^^^ Hatton may have weighed more but he is NOT cut out to fight above 140 .... yes he can easily put the weight on and make 147 and all boxers pile the lbs on after the weigh in so 154 is about right for the night but Hattons best performances have ALL been @ 140 despite winning the 147 belt. So i still feel that @ a strict 140 JWW limit Hatton has an excellent chance of winning that fight.

But on fight night, they would still both be the same as the last fight. What would be the difference?


Dec 07: FMJ - 148, RH - 154
Rematch: FMJ - 148+, RH - 154

If its in the UK, then Hatton has a pretty good chance to get a points decision I think. No question that Mayweather is the better of the two, but UK judges reward aggression much more than you see in the US. If Ricky boxes smart and doesn't just jump straight into Mayweather like he did last time then I could definitely see an upset decision happening.

That doesn't mean such a decision would be RIGHT though...just that it could happen.

I can't think of any realistic situation that gives Hatton "an excellent chance" of beating Mayweather. Ever.

Agree to disagree.

Last night, Bradley was by far the more aggressive fighter. Even scoring a KD. Yet, one judge gave it to Witter, and the other two had it close.

That is concerning.

John, what if that chick in your avatar was waiting in Floyd's corner?

That would distract me!!

On the night Hatton is more likely to come in somewhere round 147 and its those few pounds which may make the difference. You must admit that Hatton was/is a feared fighter at 140 ... he stopped fighters that had never been down before/never stopped etc ... Floyd would bring all his usual undeniable attributes to the table of course but @ 140 for a JWW title, in Manchester especially Hatton can be awesome ... look at the Kosta Tszyu fight for instance ... he was widely regarded as the best ever at 140 and ranked very highly P4P and Hattons intensity made him quit on his stool, and he rode out Tszyu's best punches. Something about the weight gain and regime @ 147 does not suit Hatton and his performances reflect this, he laboured to win his belt @ 147 and his punch resistance in the 1st fight with Floyd did not really reflect the excellent chin he has, although i admit he shipped a lot of punishment in that fight .. its intriguing but i seriously doubt that Floyd would step up to the plate and do what Hatton did and fight him away from the US. Hatton would have to perhaps unify @ 140 before he could bring enough money to the table but im not sure he has 5 fights left in him (Lazcano, Kotelnik, Bradley, Malinaggi then rematch)

I don't really know what you're trying to say. I watched the fight last night, and it WAS close, knockdown or not. No doubt Bradley deserved the verdict, but he didn't walk away with it. The judge who gave Witter the nod was wrong for sure, but its not exactly rare that we see those sort of decisions happen in championship fights, anywhere in the world.

Meh, I bet he'd still pull it off.

Hatton has never come in on the night at 147 , are you guys that dumb how many times do you need to be told ,, his best on the night weight is 151-154 , his own words , for **** sake understand weight will you !

Floyd beat him at the same on the night weight he fights at jnr welter , get that through your melon repeat it a 1000 times .

The only difference for Hatton was not having to dry out as much repeat a 1000 times .

No, sir. Hatton is NEVER at 147.

When he fights at 140, he is 152-154 on fight night.
Vs Collazo, he was 158-159.
