Great post.
I think Hatton has shown that He is a very disciplined fighter, and He sticks to the gameplan. Speed isn't everything & Hatton stacks up in enough categories easily now that cannot be overlooked just because of some flash.
Against Tszyu, Ricky took some full-blooded shots but was not that badly beaten up. He is an extremely good fighter who is very, very clever at diffusing an opponent's power punches.
His lateral movement is good, he walks you down which cuts the distance between him and the opponent, and that takes away a lot of their power. That is certainly what he did against Tszyu. And when shots do land, Ricky moves his head so well, he takes the sting out of them that way.
Definetly a pick'em fight. If anyone picks a TKO 6 like the Gatti fight, they are in for a rude awakening.

It depends how each of them fights. If Mayweather fights on the ropes against Hatton, he aint winning. Mayweather can't let Hatton trap him near the ropes or in a corner, he shouldn't fight on the backfoot with Hatton because he shouldn't want to risk getting trapped towards the ropes where Hatton would tee off on him using angles to head and body. I think Mayweather would have to dictate from ring centre if he wants to win, and punch HARD to keep Hatton off him. If they get into exchanges, if Mayweather opens up too much, I see Hatton getting the better of him! Mayweather needs to be cautious, but while taking the least ammount of steps back as poss, I think, if he wants to win, and he'll need to punch HARD.
So it all depends on how they fight, I'm sure that Hatton will pressure Mayweather because that's when Mayweather has only looked suspect. But Castillo was making mistakes that pressure fighters shouldn't - punching to the arms and elbows, Hatton wouldn't make those mistakes. I'm sure that Mayweather won't fight on the ropes, because Hatton would eat him.
I just don't know
This fight Needs to ****ing happen
