I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes of Mayweather...is there anything worth seeing after 2:02? *yawn*
I ain't no big Hatton fan but jesus I hope he knocks that little cunt the fuck out.

yes Strike, I am. I will never be a big fan of Hatton as a boxer and believe he's overrated...and don't like his style. Just my opinion.
I have also just accepted that he will always go on about being just another one of the lads.
Hatton is a decent guy...would love to see him smash the wee tit Mayweather.

I have a feeling a certain Sucka has lost his bottle;)
What Im thinking is that Sucka thinks Hatton is going to beat Mayweather, & hes now backing down, in the hope that you legions of nuthuggers go easy on him if Hatton wins. Suckas worried, & hes panicking:lol:
So now hes went on a 'charm offensive' with his backing of Ricky in another thread when I was 'having a go' at Hatton to distance himself from his former ally, & now hes sucking up to you Hatton fans cos he doesnt want to bear the brunt of the 'I TOLD YOU HATTON WAS FUCKIN GREAT' type posts that he fears are coming his way...
Sucka should have PM'd me if he was worried, & i would have put his mind at rest with some soothing words like, "Come on, Its mayweather Hatton is fighting here, Hatton CANT win:smoke " but the poor lads nerve has gone, Im a veteran when it comes to hatton hating, & I have seen many kids lose their marbles in the heat of battle. Shame that, as I really thought Sucka was made of the right stuff. Thats ESB war though, it can change a man forever.

Look. If hatton wins, I would expect nothing less. However, a wee bit of friendly advice from me, dont waste your precious time! Hattons either going to be beaten Gatti style, or hes going to be played with over the distance. All depends what mood Floyd is in. Thats the only thing thats unpredictable about the pretty boy. I get the feeling though he hates hatton much more than anyone else hes fought, cos he feels hatton is the great white hype of the 21st century so far. Hes probably jealous of hattons massive fanbase too, which means a painful night for the ginger joker.

I am being honest, I don't think he had much chance at all. I am not covering my back as I have stated before the fight was signed that I would pick Cotto and PBF to beat Hatton but I favour Hatton against all the rest, Witter, Paulie, Harris etc etc.
To me Hatton is most vunerable to fast accurate shots as opposed to single knock out punches, he showed he can take big shots against Phillips, Tackie and Tsyzu. But it is well timed combinations that trouble him, and it was these from Collazo that had him hurt. PBF is all about fast combinations, he hurt DLH with his punching at times and Hatton is going to have to walk through bunches of lightening shots just to get in range.
Once in range he is facing the best defensive fighter of the age, the shoulder roll, the lateral movement off the ropes....it is very tough to land anything meaningful and as you open up he hits you with stinging counters.
I see a late TKO or wide wide UD for PBF.
But I don't think that is some huge indictment of Hattons ability, he is world class. But he is not good enough to beat one of the most gifted P4P fighters ever....there is no shame in that.

first lets clear up a couple of things.
1) I never went along with that stuff about Hatton checking a sombrero on Arthur, and always thought it accidentally came off with the ropes.
2) Hatton has only about 15% chance of beating Mayweather.
3) I'm NOT a Hatton fan. Too many things to piss me off like the ducking of Witter, dirty style, many of his fans are morons (not really his fault mind), building his opponents up to be something proper boxing fans know they're not, constant playing up to the 'jack the lad' shit.
having said all that I want him to beat Mayweather, who is a complete knob.

My take on Gayweather - Fatton
I cant see ricky being knocked out
I cant see ricky getting near enough PBF to knock him out
PBF dances and runs and wide UDs a frustrated Hatton
I would love Hatton to KO PBF, but lets face it Floyd is P4P no 1, has all the skills in the world, and has no intention of brawling anyone so will win this from distance.
Here's hoping for a Honeyghan esque victoy for Ricky.

Dunky you are 100% correct in my opinion as to how this fight will play out. In fact I have a feeling that PBF will be even more masterful than his destruction of Gatti and Corrales. Have you noticed that majority of the people predicting Hatton will win are basing it on their hatred of PBF rather than a proper assessment of their skills, abilities, attributes and the level of competition they have faced. The other thing to note are the intangibles which you have pointed out that PBF wants to make a definitive statement against the great white hype of the 21st century. This reminds me a bit of Larry Holmes versus Gerry Cooney. The funny thing is that Hatton has started to believe the hype around him. Personally I think Hatton may well be ruined after this fight.

How is he a "great white hype"? You make it sound like the divison has long be dominated by black fighters and white people from around the world have flocked to the first white hope. This is not the heavyweights of 1970-1990.
Tsyzu anyone?
The lighter weights always have their fair share of Mexican fighters and other races from around the world.
Hatton has beaten Tsyzu and beaten Castillo. He is now facing the P4P king and losing to him does not mean he is hype it means he failed to beat an unbeaten phenomenon who has proven too much for a host of top fighters.
Or is everyone who PBF has beaten just hype too?

The HBO 24/7 shows actually made me like Floyd more than Oscar because for all his flaws and verbal diarrhea Floyd is 100% fighter and trains like no other fighter.
Having seen training footage of him previously I had always been struck by this and in the show itself Oscar's image was a bit stage-managed to show him with his wife and kid and show him in a positive image.
Floyd came across as a cocky guy but he is always, or nearly always, magnanimous in defeat. He could have said "told you so" after wiping the floor with Gatti but was pretty decent about it even though Gatti never belonged in the same ring as Floyd.
Given that his dad and uncle seem to be total morons and both have been pulling him this way and that Floyd seems as normal as he could be. He manages to hold a conversation with Fiddy-pence and keep a straight face so you have to respect him.
That is the point Terry D you have to respect PBF as the absolute professional. He is certainly a more likeable personality than ODLH because there is nothing fake about PBF, what you see is what you get. Hatton is is a nice lad as well all said and done perhaps when this is over and done with they can be friends?
Now for the other guy who queried the great white hope point. I don't see Hatton as a great white hope as such but the context of boxing and what I think Dunky meant is that rightly or wrongly when you look at the histiorical context of boxing that this mantle might be placed on Hatton however unfairly. My regard for Hatton is much higher than to put the tag on him but unfortunately it does not mean that this will not be the case. Look at the way those who dislike PBF and support Hatton slag him off and tell me that the Holmes vs Cooney thing is not at play at least on a sub conscious level. I don't make the rules but they are there. I am read comments like "I don't think Hatton will win but hopes he kicks PbF's ass". The question is why? If PBF was Bruno type character he would be loved by Brits but why should he pretend to be what he is not. People have to be who they are period and it does not make them any worse or better than others.
How can you possibly like a person that refers to himself as both pretty and money in the same sentence, thats how shallow he really is. He doesn't have a personality just a representive because he's so insecure.

Do you honestly believe that? I would love it if you were right, but Hatton does not deal well with fast hands and he is going to be blitzed with lightening combos and then when he trys to land is going to be hitting thin air or arms and shoulders most of the night.
Hatton still leaves himself wide open with that badly judged lead left hook, he still lunges and he is facing the fastest and most gifted fighter of our generation and one who happens to be the best defensively too.

I want PBF to win BUT can see a Hatton victory. He could simply outwork and outmuscle Mayweather to win enough rounds to win the fight. If Hatton jumps on a Mayweather who starts slowly he may take the iniative, hurt Mayweather to the body and outwork Mayweather on the ropes.
I lean towards Mayweather winning though, I think he will outbox Hatton. The key to this fight is who gets off their shots first and if Hatton can close the gap.
I am being honest, I don't think he had much chance at all. I am not covering my back as I have stated before the fight was signed that I would pick Cotto and PBF to beat Hatton but I favour Hatton against all the rest, Witter, Paulie, Harris etc etc.

But he is not good enough to beat one of the most gifted P4P fighters ever....there is no shame in that.I completely agree with pretty much all of that, however, if you are going to analyse the styles, look at Mayweather's biggest weaknesses. The Philly shell is not effective against 1) Pressure and 2) A high punch output. We saw in both the Castillo and De La Hoya fights that the way to beat Mayweather is to apply pressure and outland him. Obviously Hatton is going to be on the attack all night long, and the facts show he is going to outland Mayweather.
That's what I love about this fight. Both styles are the opponents biggest weakness. Mayweather has an advantage on Hatton and vice versa.
Mayweather will potshot Hatton all night long, but I honestly don't think it will be enough to win him the fight. Hatton will outland Mayweather for a close decision.
Strike
08-07-2007, 10:12 AM
Lets hope you are right. But Castillo 1 was when PBF had just moved up and was not accustomed to the weight and was injured.
And DLH was a move up in weight again against a considerably bigger man. PBF has an insane reach advantage on Hatton too.

I think the difference is that oscar has pretty much always faced the best and oftentimes at their relative primes. Whether he's "fake" (which I fon't think he is, just a very canny operator who knows that his image as a good, all-american mexican is key to how his success) or not, it doesn't change the fact that Mayweather obviously is psychologically damaged by the machinations of his family.
He's a fantastic athlete, and undoubtedly committed to the art of boxing: he just falls short in the sport of boxing because he doesn't want to test himself.
Hatton may over-egg the ordinary bloke angle, but he's clearly a decent guy who has worked really hard (and the "I've had a lot on me plate" gag did make me laugh) and is looking to fight the very best out there.
Even if he loses, I've got respect for him trying despite being outmatched (which i don't think he will be).
Floyd seems jealous of other fighters being more popular, but if he shut his mouth and just fought the best then people would have more time for him.
FluxStuff you know I rspect you as we have had several debates however I must say I do think there is an element of the fake in ODLH. However I also debate that Oscar has always faced the best as a blanket statement. I think his resume if closely examined you would see that for a long time in his career he was expertly managed by Top Rank putting him in with name fighters on the slide and past their best. Later on towards the end of his time at TopRank and when GoldenBoy started he started going into genuine 50/50 fights and not only did he start losing but his performances depreciated. That is not to say he is not a really good boxer punher he really is but he was never as good as the hype nor anywhere as bad as his detractors would have you believe. I think when all is said and done he is definitely a very very good fighter who was immensely popular, maybe not an all time great but definte Hall of Fame.

i'm convinced hatton gives a really good account of himself in this fight but floyd wins.has mayweather ever really been stressed out in any fight? probably not.the best we can do is the 1st castillo fight,and him looking a bit concerned in the 1st half of the de la hoya fight and maybe i'm imagining it but i thought i saw the odd sign against baldomir.the thing is for applying non stop pressure for every second of every minute of every round hatton is much superior to all of those.he will have a gameplan and billy graham shouldn't be underestimated in this, he will have studied hundreds of hours of tapes and know more about floyd than floyd knows himself.hatton is is also a better athlete and much quicker on his feet than those guys and i believe he'll rush in at angles and possibly low to get past the jab and basically try to bully floyd close in and fight dirty.his problem on the inside besides floyd being competent even in there is that floyds leaning back to his right while looking over his left shoulder will make it difficult for hatton to get his favourite left hook to the liver off.i think hatton can mess mayweather up enough to make life very uncomfotable but floyd wins by ud or even late knock out.this by the way has been a funny old thread with dunky at his mischevious best and well,what can i say about sucka?..rooting for hatton?..don't think i'm happy about that!

Don't be suprised if Ricky Hatton leaves Las Vegas with a W!
Hatton doesn't deal well with the fast boxer but how well does Floyd deal with the strong brawler?
You cite Collazo? Can I not cite Castillo I? Castillo I is just as controversial.
You cite Magee and Maussa! Can I not cite Chavez and Augustus! Truth be told both these fights but both fighters were dominating. Magee won the first two rounds because of ONE punch - the right hook. He won the round because he landed and dropped Hatton, then he landed it and hurt Hatton - that put him 2-0 and then Hatton more or less won every round. Maussa, Chavez and Augustus were VERY competative but in my eyes are lucky to win three rounds between them.
Duran, like Hatton, would lunge in, be off balance and leave himself open but on that one night he bested Leonard.
Leonard is the best fighter of his generation, arguably the best ever. In Floyd and Hatton we could have these sort of fighters. So far they are proving it.
It's a 55-45, maybe 60-40, fight going in, Floyd has to be the favourite. If Floyd dominates, it is because he is that good, not Hatton that bad. If Hatton wins, its not because Floyd isn't what everyone thought he was, its because Hattons that good.

Corley caught him unaware and flush on the chin. Floyd was rocked a little, but he took it well and continued his attack. Corley aint a big hitter but somehow he seems to trouble very good fighters, just ask Cotto.

To me Hatton is most vunerable to fast accurate shots as opposed to single knock out punches, he showed he can take big shots against Phillips, Tackie and Tsyzu. But it is well timed combinations that trouble him, and it was these from Collazo that had him hurt. PBF is all about fast combinations, he hurt DLH with his punching at times and Hatton is going to have to walk through bunches of lightening shots just to get in range.
Once in range he is facing the best defensive fighter of the age, the shoulder roll, the lateral movement off the ropes....it is very tough to land anything meaningful and as you open up he hits you with stinging counters.
I see a late TKO or wide wide UD for PBF.
But I don't think that is some huge indictment of Hattons ability, he is world class. But he is not good enough to beat one of the most gifted P4P fighters ever....there is no shame in that.
hmm. OK Strike, Im going to believe you this time. I remember us having conversations about this before, & you remind me of myself when Scotty was still around, & he was on the brink of a defining fight. I gave Scotty a chance against everyone, except Pacquiao. That was the one fight in my head I couldnt see Scotty winning, & it seems you are the same way about Hatton vs Floyd. Thats why Im giving you the benefit of the doubt, & wont be hard on you if Hatton gets beat.
As for the rest though, I cant make such promises, I will review it on a case by case basis:nod

having said all that I want him to beat Mayweather
I listened to your Hatton hating, & welcomed you into my home, despite you being a scotsman who wanted to see marquez beat harrison.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt due to you being scottish, & you betrayed me. Now get you & your Hatton avatar out of my house, & outta my life.
Go live with your new friends, Nulty, Strike, Ron, Hitman Hatton1 & the rest of those nuthuggers at hatton headquarters.
& when Mayweather does a number on your new favourite boy? Dont come knocking on my door looking to get back in, cos I have already advertised for a new tenant.
Sucka, you have been evicted from the Hatton Hating House.

Both Floyd and Hatton were hurt by right hooks from average hitting fighters. They both happened to be open and punching when caught. It is not indictive of their chin, this is boxing, you get hit and you get hurt.

Figure of speech really, I don't remember where he got hit but the point is he dealt with it well.
