Ok, lets think back to when Mayweather fought Castillo. Castillo is VERY slow on his turns and recovery. HAtten will corner Floyd and kill his organs, no question. Every hard hitter Folyd has fought has been slow. Even that guy that TKOed Gotti and lost to Floyd for Guatemala, slow as brand new Heinz ketchup i the glass bottle.

Cotto and Hatten both body punisher's....I will have to give the nod o Cotto.

I am not a fight analyst I am calling it by what I feel. I also have to mention, training camp, overall well being (health) and your corner make up for a very large percent of your chance for victory.

Maybe you don't know that Floyd has been known to have hand issues throughout his career and stated that it was a problem in the first fight with Castillo, which allowed Castillo to be somewhat competitve with Mayweather. But in the rematch, Mayweather clearly outboxed and beat Castillo soundly.

De la Hoya or you serious??? Hatton is very fast with good power...Mayweather would be offstruck by Rickys pressure...And ricky is strong enough to back mayweather in a corner and not let him float out...I see this as a very bad matchup for Mayweather since he seems lately to be developing De la hoya syndrome ( like when he fought Trinidad)...Running and dancing...Not a popular way to fight anymore and Hatton has the endurance and energy to track him down...And Hatton will be throwing a lot of body shots which by the 8th round would have Mayweather fatigued...I dont know I think a lot people get to blinded by the glitz and glamour of Mayweather...

Hatton will not have a chance in hell against Mayweather! Please go and look at Rick Hatton's fight against Luis Collazo where he clearly was defeated and embarassed by Collazo and Hatton was lucky and fortunate to have the judges side in his favor. Collazo, like Mayweather is a counterpuncher with quick hands. Also add Floyd's jab along with his stellar defensive skills, this will eliminate any of the pressure or body punches on the inside that Hatton uses on the slower, less skilled boxers he fights.

Mayweather

I had the "pleasure" of meeting Mayweather at a local club. I just hope he gets knocked out, I don't care who does it. He is racist towards white people and doesn't care who knows it. He was calling the waitressess crackers and yelling at them like he owned the place. Of course he was surrounded by 4-5 security guards about 6'5"-7' 300lbs+. They beat up a white guy that walked into their VIP area just because he walked in there. A real class act, I hope he gets knocked out and can't fight for the rest of his life that way he has to survive on the limited intelligence he has. Just my opinion

I was going to mention something similar to this, but decided the truth would come out from someone else eventually

Counter puncher? Yes, with no power. Defensive specialist? yes, because Mayweather really has no offense. Most of his shot are with the bed of the glove. He has NEVER knocked a fighter out. He does what Oscar did in the Tito Trinidad fight (run). He could not do what Hatten did to Castillo

eek: TKO

), with a shot to the body. Hatten may be one of the best body punisher's out at this present time, up there is Cotto. We can debate all we want. Let the fight happen and that will answer all the questions.

wow I guess you missed the mayweather diego corales fight huh, ended with a bodyblow(the last knockdown i believe). mayweather love him or hate him is a damn good boxer, and his cockyness is what makes him great, he wants to be the best ever and will not loose i guarantee it, he has beat all that has come before him, i heard the same type of hype shit before the oscar fight, floyd will simply outbox ricky plain and simple. ricky is one tough guy though i will give him that.

Hatton is not a big strong guy at 147 his style requires him to physically dominate. If Oscar who has fought at 165 and has a ton of skill couldn't beat mayweather up with a pressure style going to the body how is hatton who fights at 140 going with less skill going to force floyd to fight by coming forward? Thats why delahoya wants hatton because he is very beatable at a higher weight class. He is to slow and to small floyd will have a field day with him. Cotto or Mosley would be tougher fights but it all comes down to marketability. Mayweather wants this fight because he knows Hatton is the smaller guy and easiest big fight for him.
