      The key to the fight for Mayweather, would be to have a high punch output.

      I think at both weights -- it's a turkey carving on display.

      If Floyd keeps a high output of crisp, fast, accurate combination punching as Hatton tries to get inside, it's going to be a late round TKO on cuts or a ref stoppage.

      Not to mention Floyd has great feet under him and has astounding ring generalship.

      Also Floyd has a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better defense than Hatton. So put simply: Hatton is easy to hit, Mayweather isn't.

      Mayweather TKO before 11.

        You All Seen Collazo Almost Handle Hatton.collazo Doesnt Have Half The Skill Mayweather Got.it Would Be Another Mismatch Like The Mayweather-gatti Fight.the Only Way I See Mayweather Ever Lose,is If He Goes To High In Weight.

          People keep saying comparing Hatton to Castillo stylistically. Which is an absolute joke.

          The ONLY thing they have in common is that they're both inside fighters.

          Watch how Castillo gets on the inside.

          a) Castillo is probably the best in boxing at cutting off the ring.
          b) Castillo works behind his jab to get inside.
          c) Castillo has great head bobbing / movement.
          d) Though Hatton MIGHT have a better body attack, I'd give Castillo the advantage overall inside.

          For Hatton:

          a) He's the definition of mediocre at cutting off the ring.
          b) He doesn't work behind his jab to get inside, and sort of just bulldozes in.
          c) He doesn't have any ****ing head movement at all.

            This is what I tried to explain eariler. Sure everybody can think Hatton is better than Castillo if they want (I don't agree). But factually, Castillo has faster hands, better movement (cutting off the ring), definitely works behind the jab, and has better head movement. Hatton simply bullies his way inside and against an accurate, quick puncher like Floyd Hatton won't be stopping any punches (except with his head). This is just a bad style match for Hatton as I think he could beat most of his other options.

              Close fight at 140. Mayweather easily at 147.

                Exactly, people keep saying it's a bad style matchup for Floyd, when infact it's a bad style match up for HATTON.

                If Hatton fights Floyd like he did: Tsyzu, Maussa and Collazo... I'm sorry but Hatton will be eating leather ALL NIGHT against Floyd.

                Like I said before all Floyd would have to do is have a high punch output, and it's a turkey carving on display.

                  Hatton lovers (and that does not mean everybody that likes Hatton) seem to think that Collazo was an exception to the rule and attribute way too much to the fact he was a southpaw. Yes part of the reason he gave Hatton problems was that he was a southpaw, but Collazo is not a big puncher (like Floyd) and Hatton was never able to swarm him to death. Collazo was able to move effectively and was able to land combinations. Floyd has at least equivalent footwork and faster hands. How can people claim that Hatton is the best fighter in the world p4p or better than Floyd yet those same people say that he struggled against Collazo because he is a southpaw. I mean Hatton is a PROFESSIONAL BOXER you would think somewhere in his amateur or 41 professional fights he would have addressed fighting a left handed fighter.

                    You sound like you've only seen 3 Hatton fights, and there's nothing factual about Castillo having quicker hands or cutting off the ring better.

                    Hatton on top form is lightning quick across the ring and some of his combinations are astonishing. He didn't get the following he has by bulling in head first and clinching. He's usually on his toes, bouncing in and out of range, but he was flat footed and lethargic in his last 2 fights.

                      First of all, being fast on your feet and cutting off the ring are two COMPLETELY different skills.

                      There's TONS of fighters who might have fast feet but can't cut off the ring worth ****. Look at Corrales, all he does is follow people around. Hatton bulldozed his way into a FLAT footed Kostya and Maussa... then he tries the same thing against a fleet footed combination puncher and he gets ruined.

                      There's nothing factual about Castillo having faster hands? Huh?? Are you blind??!?!?
