[Amsterdam]

Hatton has little to no chance.

Floyd TKO 9.

[pipe wrenched]

PBF will win this all day any day.

[jayjr Absolu*]

Hatton is a ""JEFF"" theres no way he can beat floyd and for those of you who think he can go love another sport cause you dont know anything about Fistic Arts.

[heidegger]

Hatton will be cut badly by Rnd three. Fight finally stopped after Rnd 6 because of a lacerated face/bleeding right eye, much to rickeys protestations. PBF TKO.

Heart over head, like most Hatton nuthuggers.

[Quik]

Yea PBF can handle Hatton easly. I hope it wont finish like the PBF-Gatti fight, that would be sad.

[Theo]

head says PBF, heart says ricky ;)

[Pimp C]

PBF by wide UD or TKO:deal

[brooklyn1550]

Floyd Mayweather Jr UD12 Ricky Hatton
118-110, 117-111, 117-111

[Marnoff]

Floyd by stoppage.

[Marnoff]

Hatton KO 1 , he will expose PBF ......:yep

This would never happen, even if they fought twenty times.

[ripcity]

I think it's going to be more competive than a lot of people think but I think Mayweather will win.

[LeedsLad]

Mayweather wins clearly, 116-112 ish id say. Im surprised the poll is so close, im a Hatton fan but im under no illusions that Hatton is gonna win here.

[sdsfinest22]

Heart over head, like most Hatton nuthuggers.

Floyd kos him in 6....Ricky hasnt got the speed nor the determination and I believe if needed the Lb for Lb champ can have just as much heart as the lil 5 foot 6 hatton

[Marnoff]

Three reasons why people vote for him. One, if he loses they can say, "Well, I knew he was the underdog." Two, if he wins they can say, "I knew it! I knew it! I'm a prophet! It should have been obvious to everyone!" Three, they want Mayweather to lose and like Hatton on an emotional level, rather than thinking about the match and how they stack up.

100 times even lol

[Jd!]

hatton to win, floyd has looked very unimpressive really last couple of fights, and is fast becoming all defense then trying to pick them off as they tire.. ricky aint gonna tire and will want this far more than floyd.. im picking ricky KO11

[allenko1]

floyd

what are you crying about now? :| :|

[El Bombasto]

I'm not a fan of Gayweather (Fatton either, but he's less annoying) and would like nothing less than to see him lose, but I'm putting my $$$ on PBF.

[41fever]

PBF in an either really good squab or Floyd will reinvent the RUNNING MAN dance.

[pit]

Hatton has little to no chance.

Floyd TKO 9.


No chance !?! I give Rick a every live chance of an upset but I favor Floyd in this fight but by no means is this a walk over for Floyd.

Man I'm really starting to hate really dumb newb comments....

[achillesthegreat]

Come December 8th Floyds going to feel a left hook to the chin and he'll sure as hell be dancing with the stars.

[achillesthegreat]

What this poll does is count how many British people are on this site. So far we have 27!

[The Kurgan]

I think Hatton has the edge stylistically/mentally, but Mayweather looked so strong against DLH, plus he's freaking PBF...

Ah, I'll just vote with the heart: Hatton by close decision.

[pugilistspecialist]

Mayweather wins this fight by UD 116-112, 118-110, 115-113

Hatton does surprisingly well early on because of his own speed and tenacity. By the 6th round the counters will begin to take there toll and Mayweather will begin to seperate himself. No knockdowns scored and by the 8th round cuts and lacerations will be visible on Hatton and will threaten the outcome the rest of the way. Between the two there power is even. But Mayweathers straighter and shorter punches will score between hattons sometimes sloppy form. Will be competitive the whole way through. But Mayweathers handspeed, countering ability will be the difference. He doesnt move as much as he used to but is becoming a better midrange to inside fight(like James Toney).

[Strike]

PBF by wide UD or possibly a late TKO.

[nezy37]

I just can't see Hatton hitting floyd enough to get a decison. I gotta go with the standard prediction when PBF is fighting. Floyd by UD

[Strike]

Unfortunately thats the way its gonna go,Floyd will come in the way he did to Oscar in the first round and will do that all night,Hatton has no defense and no punch,he was being caught by Collazo,this is Floyd mate and Hatton wont see the 7th round

I agree that PBF will win, but please "no punch". Hatton is not a huge puncher but if he had "no punch" he would not have starched Maussa, stopped Castillo, broken Tsyzus jaw and won as many fights as he has by stoppage.

[Fighting Weight]

Come December 8th Floyds going to feel a left hook to the chin and he'll sure as hell be dancing with the stars.

When did Hatton ever KO anyone decent with a head shot?? This ain't going to happen, if Hatton wins it'll be a body shot that does it....but that ain't happening either. DLH had a better chance than Hatton does - Floyd by mid round stoppage, in a cakewalk :yep

[igotJUIC3]

Floyd will win by UD simply because he will be able to leap in and hit Hatton because of Hattons non-stop pressure but Hatton doesnt throw anything while comming in and thats going to hurt his chances because it will allow Floyd to dictate the pace of the fight. If Hatton can throw while comming in the fight will be a lot closer but if he just tries bullying in and only throwing in close quarters then he will lose be a wide margin because PBF can pick his shots and he is extrememly accurate when he doesnt have to fight through a jab...see Castillo and Hoya...good Jabs caused significant problems.

[EpsilonAxis]

To be honest, I think this is the toughest fight of Floyd's career...to me, it's a pickem fight...Hatton has a perfectly complementary style to Floyd's backfooting...Hatton's footspeed will keep this fight busy...

I think both fighters do the sport a great service as far as their elite skills, so while i like Hatton as a fighter a bit more, I hope it's just a matter of the best man winning.

That being said, I give the minor edge to Floyd, but I'll go out on a limb and say Hatton wins a UD.

[bigtime9]

I think both fighters do the sport a great service as far as their elite skills,

holding and hitting is not a skill it is a tactic that ricky has been allowed to get away with because of the money of a floyd fight.

[kg0208]

If he mentioned skills, why did you bring up a tactic then? No one else did:deal:hi:

[Alo2006]

Hatton will be cut badly by Rnd three. Fight finally stopped after Rnd 6 because of a lacerated face/bleeding right eye, much to rickeys protestations. PBF TKO.


I've said Floyd by UD early on, but I pick Floyd to win by late stoppage, due to Ricky bleeding badly. TKO indeed :yep

[standing 8]

I wish that Mayweather chose not to compete in this season's Dancing with the Stars. It's not really fair to Hatton.

Should Hatton pull off the upset and beat Floyd the critics will point to his involvement in the TV program. If Floyd defeats Hatton it will look really bad on Hatton since Mayweather had less time to train for the fight and still won.

[kg0208]

I agree, 'cause you know..Floyd is a big hitter like Tszyu.

I think PBF will win. But if he stops Hatton, I will be surprised.

[achillesthegreat]

Carlos Maussa has a good chin and he was starched something horrible.

[Boro chris]

Floyd ud 116-112. Hattons good footwork will often put him in position to harass Floyd and he has clearly underated skillls. But this is clearly the best fighter of his generation so I'm sure he'll sort out any problems Hatton poses.

[HopkinsFan]

Pretty Boy Floyd by UD 117 - 111

[Thread Stealer]

Hatton via robbery decision.

[Boro chris]

Come December 8th Floyds going to feel a left hook to the chin and he'll sure as hell be dancing with the stars.

Your usually prety much on the money but do you actually believe this or is it just a bit of patriotism?

[Superheavyweight]

[Superheavyweight]

Mayweather winning was better for boxing than if Hatton had won IMO.
