    Just trying to overated/ hype MAYWEATHER next opponent..but THIS ONE TIME he doesn't need to....HATTON is GOOD....very good. And will give Mayweather a good and tough fight...not as tough as a fight against Cotto or Mosley but....still....

    He'll give Fraud a tougher fight than Cotto would,..Cotto is way too slow to close the gap, Fraud would run and stink his way to victory with ease,.. but Hatton bounces around the ring like a white rabbit, Fraud won't be escaping that easily, instead, expect to see the forearm/elbow come out,..alongside the prominent back-twist and forehead to his cup. :rolleyes:

    We'll see how much of a role "winning gloves" plays to Fraud's excitement levels, whenever he's up against a strong pressure fighter :rolleyes: (Reed's desperate new theory).

    NOT in isolation. I was more specific:

    Barrera was STOPPED before Pacquaio did it, and in just FIVE rounds by Junior Jones. Barrea was NOT green at the time, but in his prime.

    Hatton is not JUST undefeated...he has stopped Castillo AND Kostya Tszyu among others.

    Still "bizarre"?

    Do you flat out think Hatton is a better fighter than Barrera?

    Who do you give Floyd more credit for beating, Corrales or Oscar?

    No he won't...Cotto has fought fast fighters before(Judah, Malignaggi, Corley) he knows how to deal with them somewhat. HATTON has never seen the speed that Mayweather is going to bring...nobody Hatton has face has PREPARED him to fight MAYWEATHER....:nono: faster guy he has fought COLLAZO? And he gave Hatton hell of a tough fight.

    Fight night...that will be the biggest ring possible.

    Oscar without a Shadow of a Doubt.

    These situations are not analogous. When Floyd beat Corrales...although Diego was undefeated and seen as his biggest threat, Corrales hadn't beaten ANYONE. You can't say the same about Hatton. :nono:

    Castillo and Tszyu were both a little bit past their prime..exp. Tszyu...and both had been stop before fighting Hatton..

    Hatton struggle with Collazo ...and was HURT to the body by Urango..and clinch for the rest of the fight..

    Barrera is a very good win for Pacquiao. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Just saying that beating Hatton is an equally good win at best, because so far hatton has been fairly dominant and does have good wins on his resume.

    We can say NOW that Kostya was past prime, but I recall him being a clear favourite going into that one and had destroyed the once respected Sharmba Mitchell in just three rounds leading up to it.

    Hatton's barely better than Luis Collazo.

    By that logic, Barrera's no better than Junior Jones.

    What I'm saying is, Hatton will close the gap very quickly,..which will cause Fraud to resort to his filthy tactics, this fight will be absolutely packed with illegal shit from both fighters, and in a rough smothering brawl, Hatton's got a very good chance. Cotto would be a synch to time, he's slower than Hatton ESPECIALLY in the feet, Cotto can be buzzed and discouraged aswell, :crafty: we've seen it countless times, (that's where he backs up and takes his little forward one, back one, rest steps, by switching from southpaw to orthadox like a little ham headed caveman,..aka.."oooo, that hurt a bit")...Hatton on the otherhand is as wreckless and as kamikazee as the best of them,..Cotto is conservative, and Fraud likes that sort've conventional textbook stuff.

    Does he? Sorry but I have seen fights where he runs like hell. Your little hero Calderon will never be half the fighter Floyd is.

    Maybe in the UK but in the States Mayweather and his team will be in the refs ear early. Reminding him of Hatton dirty tactics, holding and hitting, jumping in with his head and clinchin...etc..etc. LIKE you said HATTON WILL BE DQ before he has the time to wearhim down....

    So when Cotto switch stance..that means he is getting discourage? I guess he was discourage often by Judah and Quintana..:lol: Cotto has FASTER HANDS than HATTON, and his footwork might be slower but it's BETTER than HATTON. Hatton is often off balance everytime he throws a punch, that most be why he clinch sooooo much. Not only is Cotto a faster than Hatton he is a better puncher and bodypuncher, Hatton face will be busted up by Round 3...

    Yeah, but you're harping on a fight that happened seven years before the Pacquiao fight, and while Barrera wasn't "green" in the fight - he was a WBO champ had already entered some p4p lists at the time - he wasn't considered nearly as polished as the one that Pacquiao absolutely demolished...in a fight in which he moved up in weight for - something Mayweather is certainly NOT doing.

    Furthermore, while Jones clearly beat Barrera in the first fight, the rematch was very close and Barrera had a legitimate argument for winning the fight.

    BTW, Barrera hadn't technically been stopped before Pacquiao did it. :tease: :lol:

    When Cotto was switching southpaw in the Judah and Quintana fight..was because he was discouraged....:rolleyes: Or when he takes back steps to reset himself like he did often with Abdullaev and Torres it means he is discouraged...:rolleyes:

    Tszyu and Castillo had been stopped before as well and weren't washed up either.

    Where is this fight happening? Las Vegas?


    They should have it in an OUTDOOR location...like some old fights, i remember watching 80's-90's fight happening in Vegas but it was outdoors.....look like a parking lot...maybe at Caesars or something..?

    Also Pacquiao moved UP to take on Barrera in his first fight in the featherweight division. Floyd is making Hatton come up to fight him.

    Whenever Judah openned up and nicked him he got buzzed, Cotto became very tentative to dumpty back on forwards straight up,..:crafty: or how about the Ndou fight?..:eeeek: WOHOA!..dat boy scared or wat?..Torres fight he spent rounds trotting backwards with his pouty face, if you hit Cotto hard enough you'll frighten him for a while, it's been done.

    The only GREAT truelly GREAT attribute about Hatton is his footwork,..it's p4p quality stuff, he's got demons legs, it's hard to believe they belong to his body, he's a troll on wheels, his footwork absolutely SHITS on Cotto's...no matter how hard you try to spin it,..it's virtually the only DOMINANT reason I think Hatton's more of a threat to Fraud than Cotto stylistically,..

    :lol: Yeah..Cotto was very scared after getting tag hard by Torres..he ran away..actually..he had 40 clinches in round 2 and 3..like Hatton after Urango...URANGO hit him with that body shot in round 5 or 6...:rolleyes:. YEAH when Judah hit him hard and got buzzzed what did Cotto? Ran,clinch? NO he kept on fighting...even Manny Steward said it. Cotto was the one hit/buzzed by Judah but he is the one attacking...

    Hatton has fast legs...but it doesn't equate to great footwork. 90% of the times when he throws a punch he is OFF balance..and that is probably why HE CLINCH so much, he doesn't want to get COUNTERed, Mayweather is going to counter him....easily.

    When's Hatton ever run around the ring wobbling backwards for 3 straight minutes against anyone?..He got absolutely smashed plumb in the centre of the face with a hail mary against Collazo but he didn't back up, yes he tried to clinch, but that's exactly my point, Hatton will come forwards at all costs, even if it is to clinch and smother, that's exactly what a guy like Tszyu didn't want, and it'll be something Fraud wont want either...stylistically, Hatton's more of a threat, his kamikazee style is unconventional, and it may just be a case where stink will be the antidote to stink, Cotto doesn't stink, he'd more or less be the victim against Fraud.

    Floyd Via schooling.

    It will be fun to watch because of the pressure Hatton will put on Floyd. But it won't be so effective past 4-5 rounds.

    Kauki, saying Cotto can be discouraged ranks amongst the dumbest shit you've ever said.

    Concede defeat, watch the replay of Tszyu's final performance on dancing with the stars and start over with your crap.

    Thank you. :)

    Well we will see in 4 months...when Hatton comes in swinging, missing and getting counter when he goes in for the CLINCH...Mayweather won't be there to be clinch...SPEED..i know you don't like talking about speed cause your boy Margarito is slow as hell..but SPEED will be the difference in HATTOn vs. Mayweather...Hatton has NEVER...EVER face anyone as fast as Mayeather NOT even close...well see when Mayweathe jumps in with a lead right hand, that Hatton doesn't see..and isn't able to clinch..
