After analyzing Ricky Hatton....

It's apparent that he's open for a lead left hook and lead right hand as he comes in. His head is way up in the air and his hands are low. Also he's a little sloppy when he has his opponent against the ropes. Floyd may tattoo him with counters off the ropes all night long.

 

and knock him out too, right? :laughing:

 

like DLH and Castillo Ko'd Floyd right? :laughing:

"Floyd knows he can't beat Oscar".::

 

i never said castillo would ko floyd. but even if i did, it doesn't come close to the ridiculous notion that sly has that PBF can knock "anyone" out, let alone hatton or ODH.

 

And you just realized this now? ::

That's a Hatton liability and one that Tszyu exploited with some success with his right hand down the middle.

That's how Magee was able to knock Ricky down as well.

Problem is Hatton can walk through those and his own snapping quick jab to get in is pretty good.

Key here will be Mayweather's ability to watch Hatton's front foot (no mean feet since Ricky's pretty quick), step back when he comes forward and create room for that right hand pull and counter, move laterally, reset and rinse and repeat.

Also if Mayweather can take the lead with his lead left hook then "push" Hatton off-balance like PBF likes to do and nail him again before pivoting around and/or holding, that will be a big weapon for him.

Not sure on your comment regarding Ricky being "sloppy" inside. He creates angles quite well when he punches to the body inside - and he is not mauling just to maul; he creates space with his forearms/elbows/shoulders to be able to punch clearly to the body...turning his opponent slightly is part of the process.

Uppercuts are critical vs. Hatton inside but it's very difficult to get them off consistently given how he mauls and positions his elbows.

Interested in seeing how the physical part will turn out....PBF's strength is under-estimated; but Hatton has had MUCH more time to acclimate to 147 now.

Peace.

 

Magee is a southpaw, which basically means Ricky is open to any lead punch. Check out how flat his face is...it looks like a miniature catchers mitt.

 

Money Mayweather is gonna whup that ass........Yep.

 

He's open for everything when he comes lunging in for the hug. Hatton has some good talent but he is sloppy. Floyd will land at will.

 

I don't think he will, BUT if Hatton wins i reckon i'll be able to hear your heart break all the way over here!!:tease:

 

That's right!

 

::

 

Wow.

Never have I felt so sorry for a poster in one instance, than for Double L right now :kick:

 

Correct Hattons face damn sure looked like Pudge Rodriguez's catcher mit. He was catching all types of lead rights to his grill. I'll Holla 5000

If Floyd is so great, why don't he go up and meet Kelly Pavlik?

 

Maybe that's next. Who knows. I'll Holla 5000

 

:: That's like saying Ray Robinson should have moved up to heavyweight and fought Rocky Marciano to prove his greatness!

 

Perhaps Hatton should move down to 135lbs so he can ensure that he never gets bounced off a ring post again. I'll Holla 5000

 

:: :: That did look painful.

 

Mothafucka got back up. Didn't stay down chasing his mouthpiece or looking all queer eyed like your pussy assed Tyson and Roy Jones.:: Mothaf*ck got back up and still tried to win. True white champ!

 

Thing is, Floyd doesn't even dominate his own weightclass.:: This dude hasn't cleaned out 147, he's just taken lucarative fights like a pure businessman, handpicking whoever he thinks makes the most money. He barely got by a shot Oscar and called a tiny 140lber to meet him up at 147. Big deal. Why don't Floyd grab himself some balls and go up to 154 again and meet Winky Wright or go up to 160 and meet Kelly Pavlik? If not, then go and clean out his own division at 147 if anything.

 

Careful, don't make them make the argument that Floyd has fought all comers, cos, as much as I love them, I'd hate them to spoil their own moment.

 

Don't put that wrestling bums name in the same sentance with Roy Jones ever again.

 

OWNED::

 

Double L has an unsettling tendency towards self ownage! ::

 

Hatton gets up. Jones doesn't.

Is that a sentence??

How is this:- "Hatton gets up. Jones doesn't".!!

 

:: :bears:

 

I have a better one

"Jones didn't get up. Ricky did".

Lets put it in the conditional, see if Teacher gives us a Star.

"Ricky could get up. Jones couldn't".

"Roy flat out humps the canvas, like Danger in Million Dollar Baby said he would".

 

Why not just go up and fight Calzaghe or Dawson as well? Would that make you happy? :bears: :cheer:

Dumbasss.

You got owned.

"Hatton is gonna kill Floyd!".

:: :: ::

Be a good loser at least. :shit:

Props to Hatton's fans who are here, eating their crow like men.

 

LOL @ you bitter groupies. Hatton isnt in Roy's league. Not by a light year!
