why feel sorry for him? he'll make a career highest payday, he won't get beat up too badly if he does lose, if he loses it won't affect his career (people will say he was fighting p4p best and he'll get big coverage in the US). but he's got more than a punchers chance of beating him.

yeah well if you remember floyds tearful breakdown because of larry merchants commenst after the baldomer fight you've gota conclude that the whole "your not exciting" angle is the best way to get to floyd....i hope it does wind him up and piss him off

I would loooove to see a pissed off version of floyd in a compelling match up with another live undefeated champ in their prime.

I want to see Floyds bad intentions

No one is going to have much of a chance against Floyd, so why not give Hatton a chance? Rick's pretty good on the inside, maybe thats the best chance against Mayweather.At least Floyd won't be fighting another old guy coming out of retirement.One thing for sure, it would be a big money fight.

Hatton is gonna get exposed in this fight for his lack of boxing skills. PBF won't be there for Hatton to wrestling and when he falls in he will get hit. PBF by wide UD or TKO:deal

I think Mayweather will probably beat Hatton but if anyone in the current crop has the style to get Mayweather off his game and out of his comfort zone then its Hatton. He's just very different from anyone else around their divisions....for this reason i give Hatton as outside chance

You need a supreme brawler or boxer to beat Floyd. They need to be able to box a bit and brawl a bit. I'm thinking Cotto and Mosley but even then Floyd has the tools to come through.

Hattons got to get Floyd with some one night only type brillance. He got stick to him like flys on shit. He need to hit him everywhere and places where it hurt like the balls and back of the head. This isn't about being clean, this is about getting the W. This is boxing not ballet, that's Hattons mentality. Ricky got to do shit to make Floyd keep his hands at home. Get him in the safety mentality where Ricky wins round on actually working. Judah did it, DLH did it, some others have done it. Not for 12 full rounds though, Castillo did the most and I think he took the win on that. Ricky need to bring out that peformance from deep down inside. The sort that make Floyd kick himself the next day for not working enough in this round, or throwing the right punch in that round. Hatton needs to touch him to the body all night but every now and again touch him to the head. He needs to see where that get him, be it ko or decision. Come hell or high water, Hatton needs to leave it the ring because this sort of fight REALLY defines legacy, I'm talking Duran, Leonard, Ali type legacy.

147 is better for Hatton. Floyds doesn't let his hands go as much at 147 and 154 because they are bigger, stronger, harder hitting and soak it up more. So he pot shots his way to victory. The lower they fight, the faster Floyd is. He'll let his hands go more, pick up points and increase chances of stopping you decisioning with a nice display. At 147 Hatton still gave it the 'let's 'ave it' mentality but he simply ain't huge and he was big mother fuckers. Hatton has the strength, power and even chin/heart of a bigger guy but physically ain't it. He can implement it on a Floyd but not a Collazo.

Floyd has sublime skills though...ain't that a bitch.

An excellent assessment Achilles. The only thing I would add is that hatton will be a nightmare fight for Mayweather whatever the result. Mayweather would get busted up, that's for sure.So would Hatton, BUT the big difference is that Hatton won't care, whereas Mayweather is a pussy, albeit a supremely gifted one. Mayweather has all the skills in the world, but Hatton is one tough little MF

I don't. Fucking little loud-mouthed troll has it coming.

What are you talking about Hatton being a loud mouth?! Floyd just compared himself to Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali in this interview!!! Floyd is trying to retire after a mere 38 fights when he cant even knock anyone out! He just jabs and runs away, he runs longer distance in the ring than runners do in a cross country race. All he does is run, he cant knock anyone out. He knocked out a dried out Corrales who was so skinny he would blow away int he wind when he fought floyd. Ray Robinson fought over 200 fights in his career and this piece of shit has the sand to compare himself to him after only 38 when he can barely knock anyone out? Ray Robinson fought some of the most bloodiest knock down drag out brawls with Jake LaMotta and Floyd's face still looks like he is in grade school.

Floyd Mayweather is a skilled boxer, but he cant take a punch and isnt a true warrior until he has been baptized under fire. If he has the guts, and doesnt retire like a pussy, he will fight cotto, shane mosley, and hatton and if he wins those three fights he may be able to call himself a true champ.

I hate floyd mayweather.

You're a fucking idiot and don't know boxing. PBF can't take a punch? Get the fuck outta here. I guess that's why he's never been really hurt in a fight, knocked down in a fight or KOed. PBF's jaw is fine he's taken shots from Zab, Chico, Castillo and Oscar all who puncher harder than Sticky Ricky.:deal Feather-fisted Collzao had Ricky on queer street, ready to go in that 12th round and Ricky was holding on for dear life.
PBF will make Hatton wish he never picked up the sport of boxing when he's given a boxing lesson by the best boxer on the planet.:hi:

The Baldomir fight was his first boring fight in years.

He's basically been on and off in terms of entertainment level and strategy.

Saying he's always a no action hit-and-run fighter is as ignorant as saying that Hatton has always been a dull hugger his whole career.

Got to be said though as good as he is Mayweather didnt look very comfortable on the occasions when DLH was put pressure on him, and i think in most peoples opinion it was more Oscar throwing it away rather than Mayweather winning it...difference Hatton is in better physical condition and wont be fighting in 30 second bursts like Oscar was, thus will give Mayweather alot more problems think most people think

Another difference is about 4-5 inches in height, 8-9 inches in reach, and a superior jab.

You're crazy if you think the Castillo Hatton fought was even remotely close to being in the same form as the one who fought Mayweather. You're even crazier if you think Hatton's "power" will play a big factor in the fight. As if Hatton hits harder than Oscar, Judah, Castillo, and Corrales.

I was hoping Oscar would do the deed. That would be a worse beating, most likely a KO.

who told you that? Boxing is to hit and not get hit, If you want to get specific well I guess you can throw effective punchin in I guess. But bottom line is to hit and not get hit. And if you ask me, Floyd does that perfectly, and also punches "effectively" his landing percentage is quite high when he throws if im not mistaken. So I dont see why people hate his style. People 4get Floyd is damn near smaller than all his opponents, why would he go into the ring and try 2 trade with bigger dudes, and get potentially KO'ed. That would b foolish. floyd does wat he is suppose 2 and thats WIN, at the end of the day he leave with a W and thats all that matters.

PBF trys to make out that Hatton cant sell tickets like him..:lol::lol::lol:

Hatton could sell virtually the same number of tickets in Vegas as PBF...that is Brits flying to the US. In terms of domestic...PBF thinks he could come and sell out a "soccer dome"...yeah mate, if you were fighting Hatton. Anyone else and forget about selling 5000 seats.

He cant even sell out at home on his own name.

However, PBF would/will dust Hatton. It wont even be close. Mayweather is simply one of the most gifted fighters ever and Hatton is just a good fighter. PBF has won on cruise control against very very good opposition, once angry or on a mission to prove a point.......sorry but he is another planet to Hatton.

Its quite simple, effective punching is the main scoring criteria listed by almost every athletic commision.

Hit and don't get hit is amateur boxing, hit better than you get hit is pro boxing, if you can't see the difference watch an Olympic bout in the modern era compared to a pro bout, "Hit and don't get hit" is obviously a good way to describe winning a fight, but there is more to it than that,

how you hit and get hit matters, that is what seperates Pros from Amateurs.

Boxing was never intended to be some sort of elaborate form of tag, what you do with the shots you get in counts, not just the number, again, this is what makes pro prizefighting different than amateur boxing, hell it is what boxing was intended to be about, it is the very soul of the sport itself. And for the record I have actually boxed, unlike most on the forum.

That's IF Hatton is able to get past the reach and not get caught with sharp shots while's coming in, or counters on the inside, like Jesus Chavez did when he fought up close with PBF.

DLH gave PBF the most trouble with his jab more than anything else, a terrific long jab which Ricky does not possess.

Excuse me but who are you kidding ?!?!?

The old timers personified the art of hitting and not getting hit and that art was perfected largely because fighter fought so often they had to try and save them selves so they could make a living.

Fighters like rick would have been a lump of scar tissue by the time he had his 30th fight that if he made it that far.
