Why do people STILL think hatton can fight with PBF?

[deliveryman]

Like I said before:

It'd be Hatton being racked over and over again with clean, sharp punches as he came in, and not being able to trap Floyd on the ropes for an extended period of time. And even if he did, Floyd's defence is absolutely remarkable, and he's a very good inside fighter himself.

Floyd by late TKO or a 116-112 / 117-111 UD.

seriously, I keep reading on t his site about people thinking hatton vs PBF will be a good match.

You have too be kidding me. He was almost KTFO by Luis Collazo who is not even know for his power. I saw a hatton who had no defense and couldn't keep up with collazo's hand speed. He didn't even have much power at 147. Simply put, Hatton would get WORKED at 147 vs PBF. I mean PBF would pick him apart. If collazo tore his face up, imagine what PBF what do to that face.


Get off the guys nuts, he couldn't handle a mediocore fighter at 147 so what makes you think he'll put up a fight against PBF?

He can't get away with his holding in the US and nows he's getting exposed.

Discuss.

Floyd is not Collazo. Collazo is a southpaw with speed who is much larger than Floyd. Just because we never heard of Collazo much before hatton, does not mean he was any good or that Hatton has been 'exposed'.

You do not understand boxing at all if you think just because Collazo almost beat Hatton that it's crazy to think Hatton has a chance against Floyd.

he has a brawlers chance *i just made that up*

Hatton needs to brawl to beat Floyd. Castillo already beat Floyd witht hat style, and was robbed according to most fans and pundits (though he lost the 2dn fight).

So yes, he has a brawler's chance, and that is nothing to sneeze at in this case. No one would say he has a chance to beat Floyd by boxing.

You are absolutely correct. Styles always make fights. The man that beat the man doesn't always beat the man.

Collazo is a very skilled fighter without recognition, similar to how Winky Wright used to be. Just because he's not a household name doesn't mean the cat can't fight.

Hatton made Kostya Tszyu quit. You can't take that from him. He's not been beaten, you can't take that from him. He came across the pond in a hostile envrionment and still fought reasonably well against a very skilled fighter.

He's a miniature Marciano type fighter. Relentless. All great fighters like Floyd are beaten at some point. Ray Robinson was beaten, Floyd will meet his Waterloo sometime. It might or might not be a guy like Hatton, but someone will kick his ass.

[IwatchBoxing]

Think with Collazo is he gave up the first 1-5 rounds, because he wanted to prove he was a better brawler than him, but as soon as he boxed, he took the fight. So that fight could of been even more in favor of Collazo if he had stuck and moved since the beging. Maybe even KO'd Hatton by 7 or 8. It could of been a lopsided fight, if he had just boxed, all the way.

Oh, **** off about "robbery." it's a term people overuse in boxing so much. It was a very close fight than could've been scored either way, and Floyd was fighting with one arm.

[Super_Lightweight]

It's not overused in this case, so kindaly **** yourself, sir.

Yes, it is overused. This is not one of those cases though.

Floyd ran all night. I believe he was hurt...doesn't change the fact Castillo got robbed in my and many other's eyes.

[bdevils]

you are just a floyd hater. the fight was close but you can't say it was a ****ing robbery.

[Super_Lightweight]

uhh sure I can, I saw it with my own eyes and I use that term lightly. No one yer lookin at is a Floyd hater. Maybe you need to watch the fight again, son.
