Will hatton give mayweather more trouble than ODLH?

[Nawfal]

hatton is rough, dirty and a tough fighter, he roughs you up and mauls you

hes not as fluid as oscar

but he definately hits harder to the body and that would probably be able to slow mayweather down.

i think hattons style would trouble mayweather more

[Bazooka]

I dont think so, you have to be able to catch Floyd in order to grab and hold him to a Win, Honestly Floyd will cut this kid up and stop him on cuts easily.

[Marnoff]

Floyd will put on a performance similar to what he did with Gatti. I really don't think Hatton has what it takes. He'll be trying to throw one punch and grab, but first of all he won't land the punch, and then there will be nothing to grab. If he tries to rough Mayweather up on the inside, he'll find Mayweather left elbow in his face constantly. He's going to get pounded to a ridiculous extent.

[PH|LLA]

:lol: are you comparing Hatton with Gatti?

different class.

Floyd aint pounding shit.

Close UD at best for Floyd

[the_what]

Yes. DLH looked lost hitting Mayweather's elbows and shoulders. Hatton would hit at anything that Mayweather gives him. He would hurt Mayweather without hitting him cleanly.

[Relentless]

nope de la hoya is the far superior fighter.

[Alo2006]

Hatton is no match for Floyd. Floyd will break Hatton down.

[Irish Steel]

Hatton is definitely a match for FLoyd. His stle is going to be hard for floyd, and whoever wins, it isnt going to be by a lot.

[Fab2333]

who is that?

[brooklyn1550]

Yes

[Robbi]

De La Hoya's jab was a key weapon against Mayweather for 8 rounds. Mayweather backed up in a straight line while getting caught with De La Hoya's jab mostly every time it was thrown. Hatton's jab aint in the same league. De La Hoya also has more power than Hatton. Think Hatton could floor Mayorga with a blazing left hook, and stop Vargas?. Not a chance. Hatton simply aint as big, and doesn't have that kind of power.

Hatton does have better stamina than De La Hoya, and throws more punches during each round. He did get tired against Collazo, but believe me his stamina is one of his greatest strengths. Against Tszyu he was involved in a very physical fight, and it was a very high paced. Ive seen Hatton go 12 hard rounds at a fast pace many times.

Hatton stands almost no chance of beating Mayweather....it would be similar to Mayweather vs. Gatti. Hatton is a good fighter, not a great one....he should be matched against fighters like Torres, Malignaggi, Corely, etc....

It could well be like Mayweather v Gatti, but Hatton would definetley get off with more punches and make more of an arguement against Mayweather.

One key for Hatton being successful against Mayweather is using his jab often while he's trying to get inside. If he walked in without a jab, he'd make like difficult for himself.

[Cookie]

He'll at least give Mayweather different problems. DLH is a big guy that can box well and has a good punch. Much different to Hatton who is much smaller, but is a lot more aggressive, can fight harder and for longer, and will make things messy.

If Hatton can impose himself on Mayweather and make it rough then he'll definitely do some damage.

[China_hand_Joe]

Oscar had zero chance of beating Floyd, there is hope for Hatton though.

ima look out for her

[AJAX]

I think Hatton is taylor made for Floyd. I don't give Hatton much chance to win this. he's predictable and comes straight forward, playing into Floyds game.

[omega dega Doom]

you guys thinking hatton can actually hit harder the Hoya is absurd!:roll: he had hell with collazo and can't bust a grape at welterweight ok,ok he beat a well worn use to be champ 135lb castillo big whoopty do! but him being a dirty fighter? no way, he doesn't low blow,elbow,head butt, or hit behind the head intentionally, thats dirty fighting he's a brit! those people are honorable he fight tough but PBF will unfortunately pick his shot's easily and win a UD12, Molsey is the the only fighter that can expose PBF right now in his prime! and you Cotto fans forget about it also same type fighter,same type outcome,remember styles makes fight's!:bbb

[Robbi]

Oscar had zero chance of beating Floyd, there is hope for Hatton though.

He just about beat him. So your opinion he had zero chance looks stupid. It was a pretty close fight.

[China_hand_Joe]

He just about beat him. So your opinion he had zero chance looks stupid. It was a pretty close fight.Oscar won 3 (4 maximum) rounds against Floyd which was a best case scenario for him, Floyd could have and perhaps should have really impossed himself on his outclassed opponent.

Some opinions I respect, yours I don't. :hi:

[boxingcar]

this thread is kinda funny.. a bit like when fans used to say , Douglas stands no chance against Tyson. and then we all know what happened..

I'm not saying that Hatton will surely beat Mayweather , just that people shouldn't so "sure" about these predictions , because you never know...mayweather's 1rst loss could come from a fighter no one would expect to finish him...

Remember Hasim Rahman vs Lennox Lewis? fluke or not , it still happened.

[psychopath]

Hatton's power yes it will give Mayweather more trouble but the style? Probably not, all PBF has to do is stay out and force Hatton to box.

PBF's fighting style will bother Hatton more than the otherway around. Don't forget that PBF has a longer reach and just for the sake of discussion . . . even if they are even in terms of speed . . . PBF has a better footwork that gives him the advantage on throwing punches from different angles.

Same with what I'm saying on the Taylor/Pavlik fight . . . if the other guy comes close for an infighting . . . just grab him . . . tie him up and let the ref separate them.

[Longhhorn71]

What weight are they fighting at?

We have already seen Hatton at Welter & Mayweather at
Lt. Middle.

Hatton seems at his best at Lt. Welter....even though he
is dried out.

And Hatton himself didn't look too good when he got hit with
body shots at welterweight.

Mayweather's defense seems to lure you into still trying to
hit him clean in the head or body, when in fact just hit him in
the biceps like Marciano did, or the right hand to the
heart followed by the left hook to the jaw via Jack Dempsey.

We sometimes run down some of the Old Time fighters, but those
guys came from the hobo camps and Depression era and the
rules back then weren't so clean, fights were rough & tumble,
and people got beat up.

Hatton is just going to have to beat up Mayweather to win.

[C Money]

I definitely see this a a tougher fight than DLH for PBF.

Hatton is prime and will assert pressure. DLH tried, but Hatton's younger, quicker, stronger, undefeated, and determined.

PBF is the favorite based on style, but this a legacy defining fight between TWO GREAT FIGHTERS IN THEIR PRIMES. It aint Leonard vs Hearns but its the best fight yet for Floyd.

Some thought Castillo won the first fighT? Hatton will be far better than that:good

[BobDigi5060]

DLH is different. Floyd has to keep Ricky off of him in a fast paced fight.

It'll look like Mayweather/Chavez.

[IrnBruMan]

Hatton has much better stamina than DLH

If the Hatton that fought Tszyu turns up, then he has a good chance - that hatton was just fucking relentless :scaredas:

All these goofballs claiming it will be a PBF win by KO - when was the last time PBF stopped an opponent cold?

He didn't stop Baldomir, Judah, DLH, etc.

Hatton has a good chin, PBF won't even try to KO him, it'll be pick, pick,pick all fight

But I think Hatton can impose himself on PBF - his specialty is roughhousing and pressuring - DLH was able to get PBF on the ropes frequently, I think Hatton can too, and once he has him there, he won't let up.

oscar did not try ro box pbf he ryed to run him over and got tiredin the process.hatton can do what odh tryed to do a whole lot better.full throttle and non stop and he will clinch to pbf every time pbf tryes to get off up close.

i think pbf should stay away from hatton in the inside, but i know pbf likes the pockect.will see depending on how good hattons defence will be in that fight.but hattons offence will be his greatest defence.

[C Money]

Hatton will get picked apart by Mayweather, no he won't give him more trouble then DLH. Hattons style works good against boxers who's inclination is to move forward, mayweather will not be there to hold on to. He wont walk forward with his obliques, kidneys, and liver painted red. I want to see it.


:lol: :lol: :lol:


However??? I'd say Kostya Tszyu was the type who loved space and had the KNACK for KO'ing and brutalizing the slick Boxer, kind of like Cotto now, only Tszyu had the RIGHT HAND.

Hatton has a way of IMPOSING his will. He's UNDEFEATED and Champ at 40, Floyd was Champ at 47(No defenses) this fight will TELL US ALL what the truth is between these two and who's the better fighter.
38-0 24 KO's vs 43-0 31 KO'S?? Make the fight, this is what BOXING IS ALL ABOUT.

Ya think someone could said the same things about Lamotta once upon a time, BEFORE ths First Lamotta vs SRR fight who was 40-0???:think :think

:drink :drink :drink :DD: :DD:

[o_money]

PBF will unfortunately pick his shot's easily and win a UD12, Molsey is the the only fighter that can expose PBF right now in his prime! and you Cotto fans forget about it also same type fighter,same type outcome,remember styles makes fight's!:bbb

Yes you are right styles do make fights. But you've got it wrong. heres how it goes:

The puncher beats the brawler

The brawler beats the boxer

And the Boxer beats the puncher.

This shit is like relatively. Its a law. Its why frazer beat ali but got badly owned by forman, who got beat by ali. And its why jake lematta, Gene Fullmer and Carmon Basillio were all able to beat ray robinson.


PBF is a boxer, hatton is a brawler. So based mostly on "styles" Hatton definently has better chance then his overall skill level would suggest.

Ricky hatton has the perfect style to beat mayweather (as does margarito incedently). Too me the only question is "is he really a world class fighter?" because if he is then floyd's gonna be in for a rough ride.

Mosely has the least chance of the big three because his only chance is too beat floyd at his own game and at his age that isn't likely.
