    Floyd Mayweather is one of the more ambitious fighters in the history of boxing.
    Why is he so ambitious? Because he knows he can do what he wants to do in there.
    The funny thing is that he's getting mad at the rest of us for not doing our homework for his favourite fighters

I think that Mayweather might offer Hatton a combination he's never seen before .... a guy who' very difficult to locate, connects a lot (with some power) and then is gone again.

      Hatton's game plan depends entirely on rushing forward (throwing mind you) and closing that gap. There's no other version of Hatton that can be succcessful. Mayweather's plan will be to keep that space and win the fight.

      If the gap closes, Hatton beats just about anybody right now. If the fight is mostly outside or even mid-range, Mayweather peppers Hatton like he's never seen before. Really. Then the best Hatton can hope for its that Mayweather tires, which might happen, and the gap begins to close.
      Munn... I said before the Tszyu fight, that no one has ever been able to stop Hatton fighting Hatton's fight. (In 39 fights)

      What makes you think a smaller than Tszyu - Mayweather is gonna be able to keep distance?

        Mayweather is much more mobile than Tszyu, Tszyu has to be at a distance to be effective, Mayweather is a superior infighter to Tszyu.

          Hatton would certainly be more difficult than Gatti....then again, Floyd can render anyone useless in there.
          I don't think Floyd will start ducking... I'm just nervous he may take the RJJ route, because I've seen a few American superstars do it before.

          I hope he doesn't... I'm just think he may take the easy route?

            Umm...Kostya is a slow as molasses stalker, whereas Mayweather is the fastest fighter in the sport right now.

                    All I'm saying Bombardier, black jesus, and Munn... I think it'll be a close fight between the two. Mayweather may win a lot of the earlier rounds... But like I've seen time and time again, Hatton will get faster, and faster, and faster as the fight progresses, and he'll drag Mayweather into a fight he doesn't want to be in.

                    No one has been able to stop Hatton fighting Hatton's fight before in 39 fights... And I'm starting to think, no one is gonna be able to stop Hatton fighting Hattons fight.

                    The way to beat Hatton is to beat him at his own game... And Mayweather is not strong enough to do that in my opinion.

                      Well, let's hope the fight gets scheduled so we can find out for sure either way .
