Hatton Interview: Ricky talks about Floyd

[Caca]

Floyd will school that boy from Britain. If you ain't got speed you will not beat Floyd. DLH and Shane pose greater threats to Pretty Boy because of their combination of speed and power at 147.

Hatton used to have A LOT of handspeed.

Hatton is a pressure fighter, Floyd will counter him all night. I you're gonna beat Floyd you need to make it somewhat of a boring fight and counter him with speed, then have a new look for him when he adjusts his game plan. That's something Judah did not do after Floyd figured him out. Juday did very well during the first 3 rounds with blinding counters. Although Castillo pressured him and did pretty good in the first fight (Not good enough to win though).

I think there are a fair number of people who'd disagree with that.

I had Castillo winning the first fight narrowly, but regardless that pressure style proved to be very effective agaisnt Floyd.

I'd still take Floyd's skill and speed over Hatton's strength and swarming, but it's a very tricky style match up for both of them.

I agree, it's a great fight, I'd love to see it. I also agree with you about the Castillo fight, I was referring to the judges decision.

Hatton does appear to be a classy guy in his interviews however I dont think he has enough talent to beat PBF. PBF adapts and has more ways to adapt and different styles he can resort to. Hatton is a swarmer and thats basically all he can do. He can no longer be a boxer like he did in the first 2/3's of his career. Hatton probably couldn't ever box with PBF.

I think Hatton would prefer to fight PBF at 147lbs but his team has said that they dont want to fight Cotto at 147 but at 140.

[Left2body]

One other point I want to make is that Hatton will be hard pressed to slow PBF down. Hatton has an incredible engine and appears to overwhelm opponents at times with his non-stop pressure and tap-tap -POW-tap-POW smart in-fighting.

However he can't expect or hope that PBF would get flat footed or tired. PBF also has phenominal training and looks very calm James Tonyish (when he was in shape).

The fight will definitely be a matador vs a bull but I think the bull will get the horns this time.

[Bozo_no no]

I'd love to see him fight the Castillo Corrales winner or Cotto.

I hope that's something that goes down for his next fight.

You never hear any trash talking from Ricky, he shows nothing but respect to Mayweather, Collazo, Gatti etc.. in this interveiw.

He showed what a class act he is when he made the 50,000 strong Manchester crowd give Tszyu a standing ovation for being such a great champion after the fight.

Every time someone posts an idiotic comment about the capacity of MEN Arena in manchester, i laugh my ass off.


Dude, get your facts right. Get your life right.
