Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton: Who would win if they fought this year?

[SquareCircle]

pbf has experianc with that kind of fighter. hatton has never faught a complete fighter like pbf

What type of fighter is that? The one you say PBF has experience with? I'm just curious as to what you think it is. Cuz that's BS, Floyd has never faced a relentless clinching pure slugger like Hatton..

yet you claim 'he has experience' with that type of fighter...

I think you meant to say, a slugger is at a stylistic disadvantage vs a pure boxer/boxer puncher hybrid, like floyd is.

on paper much more times than not a skilled boxer beats a skilled brawler. and with hattons win over tszyu with the help from the ref parris i need more to go by before thinking hatton will win

[UntouchableM2]

Mayweather by TKO....

Well going from each guys last fight and how they looked, I'd have to say Mayweather is the guy I'd favor in this one.

Hatton seemed confused and disoriented at times against Maussa. Although he did eventually knock him (CM) out, Floyds tricks/speed would give him more trouble than would the awkward style of Maussa.

Hatton would have to come through some punishment and he'd really have to have his footwork down to get inside on Floyd. It'd be a tough task but he does have a shot at simply wearing down Floyd and out-punching him in the later rounds (although we've really only seen Castillo do this).

I think it'd be a decision win for Floyd, but I wouldn't count out Hatton for a second.

boyfloyd did have problems with castillo.and if you think hatton is better than castillo then a fan will lean towards hatton.but again i have to reiterate my thoughts on the help hatton got from parris in the tszyu fight since none of his previous fights warranted the makings of a world champion. i mean look at the caliber of the fighters he fought before tszyu. hatton won't be allowed to get away with that stuff he thru against tszyu stateside.

Mayweather is a much better boxer than Hatton. But Hatton has that nonstop come at you style. CAn mayweather really slow down HAtton and keep him off him? Right now I'm split on who I would think would win.

Hatton himself is giving you the answer by screaming "TUNE-UPS" at the top of his lungs whenever Mayweather's name is brought up.

If he thought he can beat Floyd, he would have taken the fights that were already offered, and he wouldn't STILL be asking for "tune-ups".

A reigning, active champion asking for "tune-ups"?? huh?

Floyd Mayweather would win by a UD,though I think it would be a good match though it has the potential to be Mayweather Vs Gatti.

Don't be silly.

when he faces pressure fighters, floyd backs onto the ropes and goes on defense. but hes never faced a pressure fighter like ricky hatton. hatton is the guy who stands the best chance at beating floyd mayweather.

hatton by TKO.
