Hatton Vs Mayweather

[Smokin']

And by the way, Tszyu has knocked out every single opponent who tried to box with him.

Like I said, watch a Kosta Tszyu bout against some guys who BOX with him and tell me how he does. He has NEVER been outboxed. He has only been beaten twice by swarmers. His amateur record is 220-12 ...that proves right there he can box.

Floyd knows this. That's why he never went anywhere near Tszyu at 140.

today i would take floyd against anyone from 140-154

oscar,winky,hatton,mosley

suprisingly for some the 1 i think givs floyd the most trouble is miguel cotto

Floyd at 140 would beat Kostya Tyszu at any time , too much speed an footwork ,also i think Floyd has too good a chin and defence to go down off 1 punch

Floyd has never faced a pressure fighter as aggressive as Hatton...thats what Hatton brings to the fight..12 rounds of constant relentless pressure....can Floyd handle it..we'll have to wait and see...can't wait till they fight..its the biggest fight in boxing to dedicated fans..

Hatton is a far more dangerous fighter than Gatti though. Hatton will wear Mayweather down. Hatton got tagged a lot of times by Tszyu when they fought and walked through them all. He would catch up with Mayweather and KO him.

Tszyu did not tag Hatton with a single meaningful shot that night. Don't even compare the two fights, they're completely different. In one fight you had a guy who stalks his opponent and KO's them with that huge straight right hand, in the other you have a guy who uses his incredible handspeed, footwork, and defensive skills to break his opponents, who can also hit while moving away. Mayweather has the ability to stay away from Hatton all night long; his endurance is just as good as Hatton's is; in fact, it's better at 147. Kostya did not have the ability to stay away all night, and as a result, he was smothered by Hatton. If Mayweather looks at the Collazo fight, which he undoubtedly will, he will see exactly how to beat Hatton, and he'll use that same plan and execute it to perfection.

I don't think anybody is questioning Tsyzu's ability or greatness. He is/was a great fighter and he did KO the guys that tried to box him (ask one Zab Judah). But I don't think Koz ever faced someone as diversified and skilled as Floyd. Forrest is tall and has a great jab and right hand, but outside of this he doesn't do anything else really well. Floyd doesn't have that kind of size advantage but he has a clear speed advantage and I think his ring intelligence is unmatched (not saying Koz is ****** or anything).

Floyd is too fast, too slick and too pretty.........Hatton is too slow, too one dimensional and too ugly...... END OF STORY!

Co-sign. Mayweather definitely does his homework and will be able to use a similar game plan as Collazo to frustrate Hatton.

Here's a quote from Jeff Mayweather (who by the way has gone on record stating that Floyd > Duran, Whitaker at 135) about Kosta:
I think Kosta Tysu is a extremely good fighter and has a undetermined desire to win. He does little things in the ring that only a trained eye may recognize as being something special. He is very strong and can punch with either hand yet, his best asset is his ablity to cut off the ring and force a guy to fight him even if he doesn't want to and his pressure is constant and he takes a pretty good shot. Kosta versus my nephew would be a great fight to watch. It's a pick em fight to me.
