Floyd will dominate and Stop Hatton ala Gatti.. DLH will most likely fight Cotto before Floyd can.. DLH will probably win a controversial dec vs Cotto.. Then Floyd will fight Cotto and destroy him OR... Hatton and Cotto fight and Cotto KO's Hatton either way.. Hatton is done. He can't beat Floyd, he can't beat Cotto, he can't beat DLH or Shane
Do you think Floyd is a good all-round fighter who could do well in MMA, K1 and the streets LOK? Or do you think he's only good as a boxer?
come on OG.. if you know me at all you'd know I'm ALLLL about BOXING I just said I do not think Floyd could go fight MMA right now.. he is a world class BOXER You asking me to name one MMA fighter that could win a boxing match has nothing to do with what I said.. I actually think that a MIDDLEweight BOXER would beat any MMA guy in a boxing match regardless of weight
I think a LOT would.. watching MMA from a BOXING perspective.. their hands are horrible! if they were to BOX a boxer they'd get murdered.. I don't think anyone thinks they wouldn't
I know. That sloppy slow Chuck Liddell is a piece of crap as a striker but for some reason he's some kind of god in the UFC.:: Then they try to defend him by saying "Oh but he has to watch out for takedowns and kicks!" The guy's a bum. I think CroCop and Arlovski are pretty good with their hands. Good form and movement. Arlovski's one-two is textbook.
I have always watched thinking how much of a BUM Liddell is... but... he is throwing againest wrestlers and guys who have NO idea of defense
PBF will probably beat Hatton but he will give him fits IMO and I intend to break my own golden rule by picking Hatton to win on December 8th (heart over head- what I am doing? :doh: ). However...Gatti he aint! :nono: Probably- the Golden Tranny will always turn up where there is $$$ to be had Only way he can possibly win IMO Not if Hatton beats the fucker first he won't, and even if Floyd fights Cotto, I won't be racing to back him with my hard earned- very tough fight to call. Your hate is quite ridiculous... ...even though Hatton is unproven at 147, you have to remember that he is ONLY fighting there because these name fighters (Cotto, PBF, DLH etc) and the money are there. Only a true hater would say that he is 'finished' regardless if he lost by 1st round KO against PBF. Hatton is naturally a 140lber, and if he gets beaten I would expect him to go back there and make a few more beans by fighting Witter and unifying the division. Even if you HATE Hatton, you have to accept that he is the top 140lber in the world? That being so, how come him losing to some guys in a higher weight class would mean that he is 'finished'? MTF :dunno:
I agree with you on almost all your points! I agree that the only way the golden chicken wins right now is controversial IE Shafting I do think Floyd will dominate and STOP Hatton.. it's not hate really.. it's that Hatton is taylor made for Floyd.. I think Floyd can look spectacular againest him.. Hatton is better than Gatti but not that much.. I think Gatti-Hatton would be great prime for prime.. a war. I think FLoyd dominates these guys.. I think Cotto beats Hatton but it is possible that Hatton could win.. with Floyd.. it is not possible at all
Were the bout 'straight', I would expect nothing less than this very outcome...however, how much faith would you have in a 'Golden Tranny promotion' allowing the Golden Tranny himself to quit? :dunno: Hence it is quite possible that DLH gets controversial SD, IMO :shit: MTF
It is perfectly acceptable to think that this is the likely outcome; I suspect a warm majority on these boards would agree, but to then go on and suggest that 'it is not possible at all' for Hatton to win is faintly insane: how can it be impossible for a universally accepted 140lb champion, with an unbeaten record including KO wins against fighters such as Tszyu and Castillo, to win a fight against the 147lb champ- irrespective of how good the 147lb champ may or may not be? I just don't buy this at all... :dunno: MTF
Floyd hasn't destroyed anyone in years..but he will destroy/dominate Hatton and Cotto... Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Mosley...
Precisely :clap: IMO, it is absurd to suggest that he will do such a thing. It is possible (I would expect PBF to start as a warm favourite against Cotto as well as Hatton) that PBF would win, but it is ridiculous to suggest that he would 'destroy' these fighters or to say that it is 'impossible' for these fighters to win. And LOK- Hatton is NOT, nor is he anywhere near the level of Arturo Gatti...you are fatally underestimating the bloke if you seriously think this...:nono: MTF
Hatton is a smaller gatti.. maybe more energy but Gatti was very durable.. look at the DLH-Gatti fight and the PBF-Gatti fight.. Floyd kills these type of guys
Mayweather will win.....9-3, Hatton will have to do some real damage in the first few rounds to at least slow Mayweather down later in the fight....Hatton better be ready to THROW 70-80-90 PUNCHES a round...for 12 rounds. The moment Hatton takes a back step to re-plan/think/group whatever...IT'S OVER... and WORST for Hatton is that he HAS NEVER face anyone as FAST/Accurate as Mayweather..he won't see those punches coming..at least Cotto has face some very fast guys Judah/Mosley...and to a lesser degree Malignaggi/Corley..MAYBE HATTON should've face someone like Witter to get him adjusted to SPEED DEMONS...
I think Floyd will be putting on a clinic against Hatton. Beating him to every punch. some where after round 3-4 Floyd will get comfortable and go for a KO. This is where I see Hatton having his only chance. The problem is Hatton will land something that will hurt Floyd, and then it will be safety first for Floyd for the remaining 6 rounds of the fight. Floyd wins by UD in a fight that "could've" been great. Cotto vs Floyd is very interesting. A great tactical fight. I can seriously see it going a million different ways. Cotto vs Hatton is a fast and furious war. Cotto is just too strong and too big.
My head says that the fight is most likely, of all possible scenarios, to go a little like this... ...but to say that it is 'impossible' for Hatton to win is silly, and cannot go unchallenged.:warning: MTF

Ricky is a pasty fuck and frankly I am fond of him and might join you in picking the upset.... I don't always agree with Lok's picks::... I will say this Hatton is the one that will beat pretty boy before he loses a step out of any of these guys (before Pretty boy loses a step or two). Cotto is my favorite but no way no how does he take pretty boy without getting into the punching gap and with his leading with his head. Pretty boy will hit him ten times in that gap before Cotto can figure what to do next.... hatton has the speed to close that gap. PS I like pretty boy just like cotto better
I wonder if Vegas has any odds on Floyd "retiring" again after this fight? Maybe an over/under on how many times he cries after the fight?opcorn:
I think Hatton has a chance against Floyd. It ain't going to be pretty though... Ricky "The Mugger" Hatton.
The more holding, wrestling, hitting while holding, pushing, the better for Hatton. The less it resembles a boxing match and more of an MMA fight, Hatton has a better chance. It will be interesting to see the webb and flow of who actually dictates...
Hatton has NO chance.. Dsimon.. you are my boy.. you know I love you like a brother.. but man... Hatton has ZERO chance.. you know, I'm more intrigued about Roy-Tito than Floyd-Hatton cuz to me Hatton-Floyd is a mismatch and the only reason it is intresting is to see Hatton get slaughtered Cotto would beat Hatton IMO.. the only one I don't want Floyd to fight cuz I think he has a shot to beat him is "Williams" he is relentless , tall and a good boxer as well..
