cus he is a badass lil mofo you know!
I hope Hatton wins, though I'm not betting on it.
I hope Hatton wins and I AM betting on it.
Don't think he will though
the one thing Hatton has going for him is that he's super aggressive. No way he out boxes PBF, but he might be able to walk him down and hurt him.
Don't really care for his style.

Add to that Hatton's crazy conditioning. That's how he beat Kostya Tszyu (sp) - he just kept punching and punching and punching and punching and punching...
Hatton also kept clinching and clinching and clinching. I swear that Hatton would make a perfect transition to MMA. His clinch game and dirty boxing is already top notch.
Depends on the gas tank each comes in with. I don't think we've ever seen Mayweather wilt in the later rounds but if Hatton consistently moves forward there is a good chance that come the 8th round Hatton is backing up to Mayweather's jabs. I hope not, I won't deny that Floyd is a hell of a fighter and athlete but just no finishing sense to speak of.

That seems like a pretty stupid thing to do.
I think this match depends on how much the ref lets Hatton clinch. I can't see Hatton being able to overwhelm Mayweather by punches alone. Despite turning into Ricky Fatton inbetween matches, his supposed size advantage didn't help him too much in his initial foray to 147. I'm not sure how much Tszyu and Castillo had left before Hatton got to em. I don't remember those fights being very pretty either.
I CANNOT wait to see the 24/7 on Mayweather/Hatton.
If he walks Mayweather down and works the body I think pretty boy wil quit
Kostya Tszyu was one of my favorite fighters, and when Hatton beat him, it really impressed me, but in boxing speed is KING, and Mayweather is the faster man.
That said, I don't like Floyd, I really hope something extraordinary happens and Hatton catches him with a few good shots.
Hate him - arrogant guy with little boxing skill.
I've got money on PBF.
Oh yes MBoylePC, you can definitely get to where he is in the ring by have "little boxing skill".
Idiot.
PBF will embarrass Hatton. Bout will looks something like Gatti vs PBF or DLH vs Mayorga...... only Hatton will continually get busted up till the final bell.
I agree with Phil on this. PBF doesn't seem like he has "grit". He has been able to dance around and stay away from most opponents and/or let them wear out. I think Hatton will be able to get to PBF, maybe not so much in the beginning of the fight, but as it wears on I think he will start to get to PBF's body much like Castillio did in the first fight. The difference between Hatton/Castillio with regards to this matchup is that I don't think Hatton will get tired and has some hellacious body shots.
On the other side of the coin, will Hatton get frustrated? Can he cut the ring off and get PBF on the ropes? I think he can get him on the ropes, but he is going to have to work for it. That brings me to the first part, will he get frustrated? Who knows.
I belive that Hatton and PBF's mental endurance is the focal point of this fight. If Hatton gets frustrated then PBF wins a decision easily. If PBF gets frustrated he could find himself stopped via body shots or at least be i for a long night of pain from them. Going back to what Phil mentioned, PBF may not quit the fight, but I think if Hatton does get through we could see PBF quit mentally.
lol at labeling Hatton an "arrogant guy" when he's fighting Floyd Mayweather next month.
Sadly Hatton has nothing for PBF. It's a damn shame cuz I hate that jackass.
