Hey, I like Hatton, I really do! I just never bet against pbf

Yeah, Hatton with his blinding speed and power will throw his merciless reckingball of a left hook and crash on..on...lol floyds arm or back ..lol. man hatton is just going to eat so many right hands..As soon as he tries to open up with his little onslaught It will be counter punch city until he backs off then he will get counter punched. Floyd is too fast too much defense. Hatton will not be effective at all.:bbb

Ok so when you bump this thread in Dec remember I called Mayweather by TKO

if hatton gets TKOed in december I don't think that he'll be bumpin this thread.......but don't worry the thread will get bumped none the less.

better yet it would be way funnier if he hired another martching band to play songs for him when he was kickin ass. And then they had to just sit there the whole night and play nothing.:D

It would be funnier still when they got bored of just sitting there and started playing songs for floyd.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

(I'm pro-hatton but that would be some funny ass shit)

[lillarry]

No that aint going to happen. But I have to give Hatton his props for taking on such a dangerous foe on foreign land. He understands that for a boxer to build a legacy that he has to go to the U.S.A unlike the other guy from Wales. I will be rooting for Floyd, but would not be upset at all to see Hatton win in what would be a huge upset

[o_money]

Realistically I'll floyd may get beat but I'll be quite suprised if he has to take a serious beating or at any point looks like he might get KOed. I won't be all that suprised if hatton get beat up badly though win lose of draw it kinda the only chance he has. I will be suprised however if he get embarased. Personally I can't remeber the last time a guy who was a suposed top ten p4p got embarased. (and please nobody bring up lacy he might have been a hype job but he wasn't that hyped).

[Flatlander]

the fight is at 147, and no disrespect intended, ricky did not look so good last time at 147 vs. collazo......

i hope pbf is taking hatton as lightly as all his fans.

you do realise that hatton doesn't hire that band out, they turn up and do it themselves, and the thing about british fans is that the more trouble are sportsman are in, the louder we sing and more we support, we aren't fair weather fans who run away at the first sign of trouble.

Hatton hired that band dude. I suggest you rewatch the hbo broadcast because lampey says it in the first or second round.

[o_money]

James Toney vs. Roy Jones
Hopkins vs. Trinidad
Hopkins vs. Tarver
Mayweather vs. Corrales
Barrera vs. Naz
Naz Barrera was a close fight
Corrales was not and never was top ten p4p
Toney got beat but not embarrassed
and Only fools had Tarver (at the age of 38 or something) in there top ten p4p.

So yes the only time its happened recently (fluke kos aside) is when Hopkins layed a bad beating on trinidad, which proves my point that it doesn't happen that often.

I don't think Naz Barrera was too close, and yes Toney was embarassed, Tarver was close to top ten... Just to add to the list though Pac embarraseed Barrera who was in the top 3 on most peoples list, wasn't Lennox in the top 10 when he was KOed by Rahman also?(i guess that was a fluke though) Plus Tarver Jones 2, complete embarassment, not a fluke i dont think. just a few off the top of my head, it happens:yep

[Outboxer]

Uh..

Strictly in terms of defence, Mayweather Jr ranks up there with Whitaker, Benitez, Locche, Pep, etc. He's what we call a defencive genius -- even hitting him flush is quite a task in itself, but knocking him out? That would take a special fighter.

Don't get me wrong -- it's not impossible. I think Leonard, Hearns and Duran could have done it, just to throw a few names out. But Ricky Hatton?

No.

[DeVoy]

It's all about styles. Can Hatton's mauling, grabbing, rib-tickling style upset Mayweather's slick boxer-runner style?

Maybe. We'll only know when they fight.

Somehow I think Mayweather will win a dec. But Hatton will keep coming all night, mauling and digging. Who knows.

Lets not exaggerate..if Hatton pulls this off it will be the biggestperformance of any brit boxer period. But I really can see Ricky winning this fight. He does not fear Floyd but I think Floyd will have a nagging doubt going into this fight.

My prediction is it will be a rough fight- if Hatton manages the upset then there will be accusations of roughhouse/dirty tactics on this board. There are so many possible outcomes to this fight IMO

[Imperial1]

Thats fine. In 20yrs from now, Oscar will still be living it up, with gazillions in the bank, while that "superior black athlete" will be working in a fast food restaurant/car wash "ala" Leon Spinks, because he spent his allowance money that Oscar gave him, on Bling, Rims, Gambling, more bling, cars, and paying people to hang out with him. :deal :rofl

When hatton beat's the brake's off mayweather,i guess we could put collazo above mayweather in the welterweight rankings and next year's scenario will be cintron vs mosley,hatton vs de la hoya and floyd will retire.

Floyd is not taking this fight too seriously and he see's it as a easy fight,but floyd and his fan's will be in for a long night.Hatton will make mayweather use his leg's more then he ever has and also floyd will have to keep up a high punch rate along with a very fast pace.

Floyd hasn't had a tough fight in a long time and that will be hatton's key to this fight,because hatton will put soo much pressure on floyd that i can see floyd quiting on his stool in the late rounds.

[Sug3]

Do you actually believe this?Mayweather is a promoter and business man now and the last thing he want's is a tough fight and i think once floyd start's feeling the pressure he will break down,just like castillo and kostya.Hatton's pressure will break mayweather's wind-pipes.

Fair enough. I just don't think you can bank on a fighter not taking a fight seriously. Especially a guy like Floyd. The guy is always in shape, and is always prepared. Floyd may be a business man, but he is paranoid of losing. I doubt he'll let overconfidence cost him his 0. Furthermore, I believe Ricky's pressure style will get him beat up. I don't think you should constantly pressure a skilled boxer unless you have a good jab and a solid defense. I'm not saying Ricky can't win, but he's going to have to utilize his jab more, and also be more defensive minded(especially when they're in the middle of the ring).

You're a fucking idiot not taking Hatton seriously. You don't know shit about PBF's career. PBF takes every fight serious and trains hard for every opponent he faces regardless of their skill level. It's the reason why he's P4P #1 and 38-0.:deal All of your points about PBF are pure garbage PBF quitting on a stool? He's shown more heart in the ring than Hatton has. He's fought with broken hands and bruised ribs and continued on to pull out the win. Get the fuck outta here. You are seriously underestimating PBF's chin and heart here big time.:deal
Some things for you to think about.
How will Hatton overcome the reach advantage?
How will Hatton overcome PBF's excellent counter-punching
How will hatton overcome getting beaten to the punch?
How will Hatton overcome PBF's superior footwork?
How will Hatton overcome PBF's superior defense?
How will Hatton overcome PBF's superior ring-generalship?
I'll wait.:hi:
PBF has fought boxers like Hatton before but the same can't be said about Hatton

[Sonny's jab]

Hatton had no chance against Tzsyu according to 99% of people here.

And at least 75% of people here said Lacy would KO Calzaghe in devastating fashion. :lol:

I'm picking Hatton here.
Mayweather looked shit against DeLaHoya, and Hatton looked good in his last fight.
DeLaHoya - who is old and slow - landed body shots against Floyd but they had nothing on them.
Hatton's a different animal entirely. He'll take away Floyd's legs, wear him down.

Remember, Tzsyu was supposed to kill Hatton, blow him away.

Do you actually think Hatton is going to beat PBF? If you do, I can't take you serious anymore.

[Pimp C]

And Oscar won against Sturm on paper. Does that mean he actually did?
Close fight I agree could have gone either way but PBF did the right thing and gave him an immediate rematch and won that one cleanly.

[Pimp C]

Pimp, beyond your screen name telling me an awful lot about how you consider yourself in thrall to your hero, why can you not accept that ANY fighter who can bully Floyd gives him trouble. Castillo could have easily been awarded the first fight. Easily.

Hatton is fast and busy enough to stop Floyd working at a comfortable pace, he will crowd him and get him near the ropes. PBF may be able to control the ring, but he's certainly not stronger than Hatton by any significant margin.

I think this is a good style match-up - PBF will have to work for a victory - show his actual offensive arsenal rather than just relying on his countering skills.
Hatton doesn't have the reach or jab to keep PBF honest. That's the big problem for him going into this fight. If Hatton had longer arms and a good jab he would have a better chance. Also I feel Hatton's lack of defense will also be key especially when facing an elite counter-puncher like PBF. Hatton will have no answer for it and will be getting hit almost at will. Hatton has to fight people who stand in front of him and are easy to hit to be successful and against PBF he won't have that luxury. PBF will stick and move fighting off of his back foot and making Hatton look clumsy and slow in the ring. PBF wins this fight by wide UD or late round TKO.

[Pimp C]

Yes... by running away from him and fighting safety first. hardly a dominant display there...
It's called boxing. Why stand in trade when you can outbox your opponent to a win?:-( Only a fool would fight a fight that doesn't give him the best chance to win.:deal

[Pimp C]

Nobody is questioning the rematch. But its scary how Floyd can do no wrong or be imperfect in the eyes of you Floydboys. Its not normal for men to act that way when it comes to another man!:-( You guys defend Floyd as if he pays your rent.
I defend him because of irrational haters like yourself. Haters like yourself are never satisfied. People have been wanting to see PBF-Hatton for years but now instead of applauding it. People are finding every reason to discredit the fight by saying it should have taken place at 140. Even though PBF offered to fight him there 2 years ago and was turned down now its somehow PBF's fault.

[Guru_Too_You]

Hatton could win with a well placed body shot. More than likely, Gayweather will run for 12 rounds for a boring UD/SD.

And in the process of all his "running" he will land about 400 punches on the charging Ricky painting his face red.

Meanwhile, Hatton will land about 200 clean punches, and initiate 100 clinches.

[BigReg]

I never said that Hatton is going to beat Floyd, but Floyd hasnt faced a pressure fighter like Hatton since Castillo. I give Hatton a 40-50% chance.

N'DOU pressured Floyd more than anyone I've seen. He also landed more punches and did nore damage to Floyd than anybody else(with the exception of Emanuel Augustus) I've seen. Oscar put a lot of pressure on Floyd too. Pressure will not be enough to win this fight for Hatton. If he just comes at Floyd without using the jab or utilizing an efffective defense, he will lose. People need to let that Castillo fight go. Floyd was 25, coming up in weight,injured, and had a 9 lb. weight disadvantage. Floyd is older now, healthy, not coming up in weight and will not be at much of a weight disadvantage. Hatton can win, but he won't do it by trying to copy Castillo.

[Guru_Too_You]

And lets not talk about taking people serious. U said Floyd's performance against Judah was more dominate than Cotto's! :patsch All your credibility went out the window with that post.

For some one who only considers hurting your opponent as success, clearly Judah was far more successful against Cotto than he was Mayweather.

How many times I gotta use your own words and opinions to destroy your supposed credibility?

[Caper]

I think most people already know I'm pretty leveled when it comes to who I like more (Hatton or PBF) so I think my opinion is as unbiased as they come. Hatton will put up a good fight but he only has one cut and dry advantage over PBF and that's strength. Other than that PBF is techincally light years ahead of Hatton in practically every aspect of the fight game. Only way Hatton beats PBF is if the fight takes place in a 6 by 8 foot jail cell and even then Hatton get countered like hell. Hatton has a ton of balls and I praise him for taking on PBF knowing damn well he will have to put up the fight of his life.

If the boxing Gods didnt smoke so much weed we would see Hatton vs Cotto/Mosely first and then the winner take PBF.......Williams, Cintron can wait after the dust clears or maybe take on each other which would be ss[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[Guru_Too_You]

Its a good fight, my only question is: Of all the challenging matchup's at WW, why persue a fight with a JWW, when your the WW champ? For whatever reasons Floyd/Mosley didnt get made when "Floyd wanted them to" is besides the point. Mosley said he was ready to take Floyd on as early as November. Its a fight that EVERYBODY has been wanting to see, but Floyd dismissed him as a "sparring partner" :-( Like i said, Hatton/Floyd is a good fight, but is it the most challenging for Floyd?:huh I wouldnt say that. Hatton has several disadvantages coming into this fight. I hope Hatton breaks several ribs that puncture Floyd's lung/s !!!

Why do it?

To prove that he should have been the linear champion at 140 as well, something all you haters are quick to point out when it serves your agenda.

Actually Guru Zab won the majority of the early rounds vs PBF in some ways he dominated certain rounds and technically dropped PBF never realy hurt him but stunned him. I could not give Zab one round in which he totally dominated and kept Cotto in a shell in their fight. Sure Zab stunned Cotto more times in their bout but Cotto took a lot more risks so he could impose his will. Its like someone mentioned in another thread or maybe it was Larry Merchant or Buddy Mgirt "When your a good mechanic your gonna get dirty":!: :smoke

If the question was: Who got hit more while fighting Judah, your post would have credibility, but that wasnt the question in the poll. Anyway, the final results were something like 78%-Cotto to 24%-Floyd. Numbers dont lie:hi:

Ignorance is bliss.

[Pimp C]

if that's the case, why not fight him at 140 then?
Why? Hatton should have fought him there when he had the chance. Not to mention PBF hasn't fought there since 2005. PBF calls the shots here not hatton. Just like Oscar called the shots and made PBF come up to fight him at 154, Hatton should prove himself and do the same with no excuses. Hell PBF's best weight wasn't 154 but he still took the fight.:deal

You have to understand Deevel's general posting posture when it comes to fights. He doesnt care about points or winning rounds, and has stated so countless times.

The fact of the matter is that he only uses facts that suit his agenda, which over the past three years has been to take any type of shot at Floyd that he can.

[Pimp C]

Christ, PBF fans like to imagine that Floyd's that good. he'll never be better than Ray Leonard because he'll never fight the best when they're in their primes. End of story.

Floyd = Fraud.
A fraud doesn't get to be 38-0 and the P4P best boxer on the planet sorry.:hi: IF PBf was a fraud he would have been exposed already certainly Chico, Castillo or your hero Oscar would have done it by now.

How can anyone hate a fighter who mulnipulates the game to his financial advantage?? plus have the skill set to win belts in numerous weight classes all without being undefeated even if he has done a good job avoiding all the obvious threats up to this point, but you would still have to give him the on paper advantage because of his obvious skill set.

Why dont u just address his post, and stop trying to avoid it by bringing up mine. He made very valid points.

I know you can't hang, so I'll discuss this with a more intelligent poster.

OK, you say that you could not give Zab one round? Thats absurd. Sure, there wasnt a round when he put Cotto into a defensive shell, but the fact remains that he took a few rounds from Miguel simply because he hurt Miguel more with clean effective punches. The rest of your post comes off as an honest assesment, but that jeopardizes the integrity of the entire post. As I've stated before, Cotto put much more hurt on Judah than Mayweather did, but Mayweather outclassed Zab in a whole different manner and was never in any serious jeopardy of being stopped.

Let me ask you this, which fight would you feel would be more competitive?

Mayweather-Judah II or Cotto-Judah II?

Personally, after Zab learned that he could handle as many power punches from Cotto as he did, I think that in a second bout with Miguel, he wouldnt be so gun shy and he would most likely stop him, or at least drop him.

Mayweather II would be an even more one sided beating than it was the first time around, because there is nothing Zab could take from that first bout that would help him the second time around.

[o_money]

When trying to handy cap this fight just remeber that the only way ricy can win is if he puts on the preformance of his life. The same can not be said for floyd. Ricky 4 to 1 underdog.

[Guru_Too_You]

Listen. According to your "educated opinion" regarding a rematch with the 2 fight mentioned, this is how i see it. Zab was able to beat Floyd to the punch and win the majority of the early rounds. Floyd only came on because Zab gassed out (Floyd said so himself). Even when Zab starting losing against Floyd, Floyd couldnt drop Zab or even come close to finishing the fight via ko/tko. Cotto on the other hand took some good shots from Zab, but in return, handed Zab the worst ass whooping of his life. If a rematch were to occur with both fighters, Zab would be more confident in fighting Floyd than he would in fighting Cotto because he was more successfull against Floyd. Just my "educated opinion"

Glad to see you can formulate an educated post when youre pushed.

Zab gassed out because of the body shots and Floyd's pressure. For everyone that says all Floyd does is run they really need to watch him walk Zab down for the last 8 rounds of that fight.

However I completely disagree that Zab would be more successful against Floyd. He was dominated after the third round and never once had Floyd hurt or staggered. IMHO Zab has a much better shot at knocking out Cotto or taking a decision than he would against Floyd.

PBF is not going to 'Gatti' Hatton, but there's a reason Hatton ducked PBF at 140 when PBF wanted it...

HATTON IS THE NEW DURAN!!! GO HATTON!!! KNOCK FLOYD OUT!!!

LMAO what a retard.. If Delahoya or Judah didn't KO Floyd there is no way in hell that Hatton is KOing Floyd.. Wake up :nut

[AJAX]

Hatton is tailor made for floyd, Hatton comes forward floyd jabs, then sticks and moves a quick combo and then get out. Hatton is an inside fighter and Floyd get's the hell out of dodge in that situation. If anyone seen Zab vs mickey Ward this fight will be the same thing. i'd like to see Hatton beat his ass......but it won't happen

Its fairly simple, had de la hoya kept up the pace instaed of gassing out after round 6 he would have won, hatton will beat him for however many rounds till he gets the tko.

True and i cant see how floyd can win throwing 1 punch at a time or throwing less then 45 punches a round,floyd cant win this fight by just boxing,because hatton makes u fight.Floyd will have to use his leg's in this fight every second of every round,because hatton will smother floyd and hatton has the footspeed to keep up with floyd all night.

Floyd will have his moment's,but hatton will bully him for as long as floyd can take it,if hatton can bully strong fighter's like tszyu,castillo and a natural welterweight like collazo,then i know he could bully floyd.

Floyd is in for a fight against hatton and if anybody else dont truly think that,floyd wont gatti hatton,but hatton could castillo floyd,but with more strength,speed,punching and relentless pressure,the key thing to watch in this fight are floyd's leg's,once they give out,it's gonna get real brutal for floyd.

[MachineGunMitch]

hatton gets schooled

[Skills n Reflexes]

I think people are understimating Hattons foot speed in the ring. He closes the distance pretty well.

I don't think he'll win because PBF is exceptional and will tag Hatton as he tries to close that distance, BUT, he's gonna have to work his nuts off cos Hatton will keep coming and coming.

It all depends how the first 5 rounds go, if Hatton can slow Floyd down, things will get interesting, but if he gets tagged too much, too early, Floyd will plant his feet and sit in the clinches with him, using that crossarm defence and beat him to the punch.

Ricky HAS to start well, even if he takes a few shots, apply A LOT of pressure, hit ANYTHING he can for 4-5 rounds, then we'll see what happens.

If Floyds sets up in the middle of the ring, he KNOWS he's got ya ass. This fight has to be on the ropes for Hatton to be effective, and PBF's legs need to have gone by the 6th or 7th, otherwise it'll be a looong night for Ricky.

Buzzing - can't wait.

I havnt forgotten about this thread, only 2 months til my prediction becomes a truth!!:smoke

[The taff]

Naz Barrera was a close fight
Corrales was not and never was top ten p4p
Toney got beat but not embarrassed
and Only fools had Tarver (at the age of 38 or something) in there top ten p4p.

So yes the only time its happened recently (fluke kos aside) is when Hopkins layed a bad beating on trinidad, which proves my point that it doesn't happen that often.

Naz Barrera was NOT a close fight:huh

[db2431]

Naz Barrera was NOT a close fight:huh

Agreed, Barrera took him to school.

[David UK]

I wish this fight took place in the UK it would be funny to see all the Brits out right owned in their home town.

Hey Bazook, you can blame Mayweather for that. He was too chicken to fight in front of 90,000 at Wembley. If Hatton hadn't been man enough to concede home advantage the fight wouldn't have happened.

[Theo]

Why do it?

To prove that he should have been the linear champion at 140 as well, something all you haters are quick to point out when it serves your agenda.

"Oh well he ducked the real champions at 140 and fought Gatti"

Blah, blah, blah.

Youre all the same and all you bring is the same tired bull shit over and over.

wont change a thing man, will just answer the question as to if he can beat hatton or not (and visa versa). he still wont be lin champ at 140 period. if he wanted to fight at 140 thats what he should be doing.

as it stands, i fuckin cant wait for this fight - rickys my boy but i cant see him winning this one, as lets face it PBF is some thing special.

i just hope its a great fight with both fighters giving there all, if PBF boxes clever it will win him the fight but fans want a rip up, i really hope pbf stands with hatton and trades.

I love this thread. I will keep it close..and then smear it like shit in the faces of those numnutted hatton fans that know no logic or reason. Hatton is going to not get desc. but get fucked up..he is going to get opened up on from the outside, countered on the inside the same as collazo easily did..lol .....Collazo is no slouch but PBF is better at everything.

Hatton will have far to much speed and skill for PBF. He will bamboozle him with flab. Hatton KO. :deal

[lenzo]

How oversize is the ring gonna be, and which ref will be paid by PBF and for how much. Hatton needs a KO to win. Ricky will be flagged for cornering, holding and banging on the inside.
Unfortunatly, a long night for Hatton, I hope he bangs Floyd good enough to stop him in his tracks early to sway the judges & crowd.
Go Ricky

[lenzo]

:lol:
Hatton will not look flabby while going into the ring.
He is chiseled well, you'll all be surprised. Ricky won't
take PBF lightly.

Bad wish.

Ricky had home advantage and, worse yet for Kostya, home ref, for the biggest fight of his career.

With neutral ground and competent ref, we wold probably have seen a different result.

Of course you will that's the easy way out. If you really want to put your neck on the line do a 1 month avatar bet. So you can stay around and eat your crow like a man.

[toffeejack]

I find it unbelievable how many people think this is a walk in the park for PBF. It's truely laughable, they are either completely ignorant or completely stupid.

Despite what bullshit PBF comes out with in public, in his heart of hearts he knows that this is his toughest fight to date no doubt. Whatever the guy says he has studied Hatton believe me, and he knows he has to be at his best.

In my opinion this will be a classic and Hatton will win in a late TKO or split points decision. PBF can't run for 12 rounds, at some stages in the fight there will be brawls and he will be force to trade. That is where Hatton will give him hell.

Not a bad take on how this may play out. Mayweather of late has shown neither the workrate or power to keep Hatton off for 12 rds. For me the appointment of the ref is going to decide this.

Respects for admitting. BTW, where's the dough you owe the Pimp C.

[Thom]

Absolutely right. But boxing is also known as "fighting", something Floyd seems spectacularly unwilling to do. No-one expects him to trade with someone who can hurt him, but he has taken sprinting round the ring to an almost fine art.

Oscar would have beaten Floyd if he'd had the stamina to keep jabbing for 12 rounds, leading his attacks in.

Mayweather just isn't "all that". Here's the thing: Tyszu hit MUCH harder than Floyd does and he couldn't dent Ricky. Ricky just kept coming. What can Floyd do to hurt Ricky? The proposal goes that Floyd's jab can keep Ricky at bay and maybe it can, but if Tyszu, with superior firepower and great timing couldn't keep hatton off, why should Floyd when all he possesses is speed and skill?

head movement counts for shit against body shots. Even if you're blocking them your arms are gonna get tired.

But, here's the problem with your argument: what you criticise Ricky for doing (hit and hug), you allow Floyd to do but only he runs away all night instead of holding. Both are frustrating, but at least Ricky will engage and actually fight.
