Taylor or Hatton? Who has the better chance

[SacTown1]

if taylor doesnt pull a eastman, and hatton can take a punch they both will win, only way taylor loses is if he beats himself. he cant let hopkins in his head or put to much pressure on himself. the way taylor can move and punch hopkins is gonna be in a world of hurt unless this kid cant handle the limelight.

great point on handling the pressure of the big event, this is really Taylor's 1st big main event, and it's just another title defense for Bernard....I have a bad feeling that Taylor might pull a Michael Grant and look like a deer in the headlights....
Hatton's been a main eventer for years now, so the event won't bother him, Tszyu's KO power will though

Well this summer seems to be heating up, can Taylor and Hatton do it?

[Zab Super Judah]

hatton has a shot becuase tsyzu has not been too active lately..but i would still give tsyzu the edge

[tyson]

I'd give Taylor about a 15-20% chance, and Hatton about a 5% chance....

Hopkins has shown more signs of "aging" recently vs. Eastman and even against Oscar, while Kostya looked better than ever vs. Mitchell....

I don't think either guy will win, but Taylor has a slim chance, I just can't see any scenario where Hatton could be victorious, even a hometown decision doesn't look likely vs. a boxer like Tszyu

There's always 50-50 chance. Either you win, or you don't. See?
50-50

But seriously, I do belive Taylor stands about a 50% chance to win.
I love Hopkins, and the only reason for doubting him, is because I'm a negative guy...

Hatton, that's a no-hoper. (I hope)

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

Hopkins is just waiting to get beat and i think Taylor has a very good chance of doing it. Tszyu on the other hand seems to be getting stronger and more powerful with age, Hatton's got a very tough test against him.

IMO Hatton's a better fighter than Taylor but Tszyu is more able and a harder styles match than Hopkins.

Exactly my thoughts!

[oldgringo]

Hatton has a much better shot at taking a few of Tszyus bombs and doing exactly what Vince Phillips did by just working him down and overwhelming him late.

Hop will do whatever it takes to win...Taylor has no idea whats coming to the table.

[Manny_P]

I truly hope Taylor beat B-Hop. Knock him out please! He can do it too.

Same thing goes fo ma man Hatton. If he takes Tzsyu to ova 4 rounds, then Hatton got a very good shot at beatin Tszyu. Jest dont get hurt early ya dig?

[Floydmayweather]

I really believe Taylor is not going to be scared and care about Hopkins antacics and go right at him. I think Hopkins will be over wealmed by Taylors sheer size and power. Taylor by late kO

[TRUEVisionDC]

Jermaine Taylor and Ricky Hatton will be facing the KINGS of their division. In your opinion which one has a better chance of beating their "KING" come fight night and why?

Hatton has a better chance, primarily b/c Hopkins has outside motivation to destroy Taylor.....

Give Tszyu the edge?? LOL
That's not what your 3 to 1 odds are saying.

I would understand 5 to 3, or even 2 to 1. But 3 to 1 is not giving him the edge. I think someone truly believes that Hatton is gonna win and is looking for a quick pay out! lol
