    Mayweather TKO9

    Ricky'll win some rounds, but for the most part it will be a precision beat down.

    Ugly, ugly fight in which Hatton gives a good, tough account for himself.......but ultimately gets outboxed and outlanded en route to a convincing decision loss.

    And I will still hate Floyd's guts.

    Hatton MD PBF

    I have a feeling Hatton outworks PBF and wins a MD. When this happens all Floyd Nuthuggers will disapear or CRY ROBBERY or post I CANT BELIEVE IT THREADS! :shit:

    Floyd TKO11

    Hatton takes the fight to Floyd early and often, letting Floyd know that potshotting won't get the job done. Floyd adjusts, and picks Ricky apart through the second half of the fight, forcing a stoppage (most likely due to cuts or severe eye swelling) late in the fight.

    Won't be Fight of the Year, but better than most (Floyd haters) suspect will be the case.

    Floyd is finished! :clap: It was a good career but just like the great Roy Jones Jr, everything must come to an end.

    I'm picking Floyd, but hoping Hatton and I'd love to see Hatton just kick his ass.

    Not because I dislike Floyd (I like him), but because the people who see Hatton as having no chance are so obnoxious.

    Mayweather UD.

    After six, a minority will have it 3-3 but the majority will see it 4-2 in Floyd's favor.

    After round 6, it'll be difficult to give Hatton credit for coming forward and getting potshotted. Hatton's aligator arms, no plan B and lack of one punch KO power will allow Floyd to remain in control during the latter rounds.

    Floyd will stand in with Hatton in spots over the last six "however" there simply aren't enough opportunities for Hatton to land a fight changing shot.

    Floyd UD in an 116-112 type fight.

    Hatton has a chance here....but only with a well placed body shot. Other than that I can so no way he can win (unless Floyd's stamina is unusually suspect through lack of proper training)

    That's basically the way i see it with emphasis on Hatton not having a plan B. Once Mayweather gets into a groove and starts find a comfortable way to win rounds, i don't see Hatton being able to do much to change the pattern.

    Refs can't resist scoring for blood and clean landed punches and that is why I can't see Hatton winning a decision.

    Like I said before...he's a murderous bodypuncher and NO ONE is immune to body shots. However Floyd has shown against De La Hoya and against Castillo that he can take it to the mid section.

    As for KOing Floyd to the head..not possible from Hatton.

    People easily dismiss Hatton´s chances, but what do we really know about Floyd above 140? That he can get by boxers like Judah and DLH in less than impressive fashion. Hatton is better than both of them. I expect a close fight all the way and another controversy about the defintion of ring generalship. As usual HBO and the majority of fans will say Floyd retreated, ran and potshitted voluntarily, or in other words he masterfully outboxed Hatton. MD Mayweather 114-114, 116-112, 117-111 in a controversial decision.

    Well i had my customary dream before the big fights...and in the dream...

    Hatton was hurting Mayweather to the body with body shots..and landing some wicked overhand rights to the head...


    I don't know what round it was...or WHO won the fight...but it felt to me in the dream that all this was happening in round 1 or 2 early...in the fight...


    my heart pick is Hatton

    my mind tells me Mayweather...

    i'll do a donnybrook's and wait this fight out a few more days....:cheer:

    Good.:clap: Now there's Hitman's chance.:cool: Hey, if it's a damn good fight, why should I complain about who wins? My preference is Hatton but just as long as we don't get some bullsh*t decision, may the best man on that night win.

    How much does it hurt to the area inbetween the ribcage and the hipbone?

    Floyd by easy UD!

    Hatton will have his moments and will make it exciting. But that how "styles makes fight" bullshit chance people give Hatton will go out the window.
