Look, royjonoiqwjrikdjfiouawerh9831257647ry9uiweh, we all know you hate Hatton. BUT where is he dangerous in this fight?? On the inside, so after whingeing about holding etc, Floyd will definitely tie Ricky up on the (probably quite rare) occasions that Ricky manages to get inside to unload on him. It makes sense for Floyd. And he's desperate to keep his '0'. I wish i could put on a specific bet: 'Floyd will win a shit fight by clinching and pitshotting. Thus robbing the world of an exciting fight.' 200/1 easy.
So why does Vicky hold so much in his fights if he is so good at fighting inside. Floyd doesn't need or want to hold Vicky. He wants Vicky throwing punches so he can counter and Vicky can lose energy. Floyd has never been a clincher before and never will be a clincher. Every clinch in this fight is 100% Vicky Fattons fault.
Against Mayweather he is dangerous no where. How about you answer this question when was the last time you saw Mayweather frequently hold in a fight?
Silly debate. Hatton easily holds more. Mayweather is easily the more boring fighter. Now you two kids settle down.
I agree - Mayweather hasn't he;d excessively in any fight i can remember. I just STRONGLY feel that he will this fight. He isn't stupid - he knows that Hatton doesn't offer much once there's a bit of space between them. BUT when they are in close, Ricky could be v.dangerous; especially over 12 rounds. I expect to see: Floyd holding more than Hatton, but Hatton being pulled up for holding more than Floyd. just a gut feeling though. Either way, i just want to see a 'fight for the ages'.
Personally I am a little more excited by toe-to-toe action like Hatton-Tszyu. But the real point is about today's Mayweather. He is clearly more concerned with safety first and protecting his undefeated record. There was nothing remotely re-watchable about his bouts with Baldomir or De La Hoya. Hatton, aside from a couple of hold-fest, normally lets his hands goes and battles.
you mean toe to hold? that foulfest basically shouldn't count as a victory to hatton :dunno: in the record books it should have a * beside it i wouldnt be suprised if the result gets changed to a NC in the next few years
Floyd's peaked, rjj. Now it's downhill from here. He's got nothing left he feels he needs to prove, he's only it it for the money now. And that attitude usually leads to disastrous results. Plus he's hit 30, a lot of wear and tear on that body and the reflexes are ready to go at anytime. Hatton is the man to take down Floyd.:clap:
:laughing: :laughing: Toe-to-toe action is Corrales-Castillo or Marquez-Vasquez. Hatton-Tszyu was a goddamn grapple fest!
:: Exactly. And Hatton-Castillo was pretty much the same. It just so happened to end in an early KO. I laugh when people say Hatton is more exciting than Floyd. Mayweather-Mitchell and Mayweather-Judah are both infinitely more rewatchable than Hatton vs. Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo, Urango, and Castillo.
Don't know why you're such a Floyd fan. Dude talks sh*t about everybody, he even talked sh*t about your boy Roy Jones one time for no reason. Insecure little cunt is gonna get f*cked up! :clap:
I was going to ask the same thing! not to mention Corrales, gatti (although they were one-sided beatdowns)...the first Castillo fight...etc
Corrales was good, Gatti was a joke. Come on, who hasn't already kicked the sh*t out of Gatti already? He's crap!
Why would it have to be? Nobody else fights a safety first fight against the human punching bag Gatti. He's there to be hit and countered at every turn. Now if Floyd had performed like that against a DLH in the biggest fight in ppv history, then that's something else.
I wonder if Baldomir is instructed to do a lot of clinching and wrestling to help Floyd prepare for Hatton's tactics in this regard. Angling and preparing for the shot after the clinch. Baldomir doesn't fight much like Hatton but he is a strong guy.
