So I was reading the post and the responses to whether or not Mayweather is over-rated, and it made me laugh.
I don't understand the obsession with Ricky Hatton over in Europe. If and when he fights mayweather, it's going to be the same thing as what Mayweather did to Gatti. Hatton doesn't have the hand speed to deal with someone who is so technically sound and fast as Mayweather.
Kosta Tszyu was never known for using angles, something Mayweather does better than any boxer in any division right now. I'm sure some of you box, and can attest to what it's like fighting someone who is constantly side-stepping or showing shoulder/no body. It's a ***** to figure out and especially to do something about, once you've figured out what you're doing. Add on top of that Mayweather's hand speed, and that is almost impossible to beat, especially for a swarmer.
Hatton's skills are good, don't get me wrong, he just doesn't have the style for Mayweather. Floyd has a habit of making guys look slower than they are. Hatton's tactic of beating and wearing Floyd down, simply won't work. Next to Hopkins, there is no other boxer that is in such peak shape.
Anyways, that's just my two cents. After 7 fights myself, I sure as hell wouldn't want to spar with Floyd, let alone fight him. I think he'd embarrass Hatton just like he did to my man, Gatti.
