ehh Hatton reminds me a lot of Hawaii.. ok your undefeated who have you beaten? I think Pretty Boy is way too quick for this clown and has a lot more experience in title fights. I actually think the line is a gift.

not a bad way of putting it.
hatton is going to try to force a fight and he will throw a flurry of punches that will rarely hit PBF. I am thinking of Hatton as a slightly better Gotti and PBF lit him up like a punching bag.

IMO....if you watched PBF/Oscar it will be similar but more punches thrown by Hatton. Ricky wont go down like Oscar (like a bitch).
PBF is technical and throws so few punches he just avoids taking the big hit. I think the only way Hatton wins is a KO. PBF always wins the decisions.
I think a good bet would be
Hatton by KO (prob +800 or so)
and PBF by decision (prob -120 or so)

The Draw is a must play no matter who you like or are going for.
2 undefeated fighters if they keep it close draw should have value.
Hit the draw on Winky vs Taylor

They're both top fighters, but it seems like Hatton is the hungrier.
Can't wait for this one.

a true american rags to rags story...
hatton is a joke, mayweather via murder
only hope for ricky is if the ref lets him get away with his Ruiz tactics, but i thnk PBF will keep him at a distance and treat him like the bitch he is for 36 solid minutes

It'll start at around 10:45-11:00 Eastern

Uglyboy Mayweather isn't fighting a washed up De la Hoya this time.
He'll have his hands full with the Hitman, who fights like a man, not a scared little bitch who's always on the back foot.

Totally agree ETG. I dont see Hatton getting that one big punch on PBF. Hes too damn fast. He sees it coming before you throw it basically. I say PBF by an easy decision

He also has back and shoulder problems as well.

Pretty much a regular
Hatton isn't getting the credit he deserves. He's much more than *slightly* better than Gatti. Gatti was fun to watch, because he took a beating, and had a lot of heart. But Hatton isn't a human punching bag like Gatti. He has better movement than he gets credit for. Hatton will pressure PBF like he's never been pressured before. He will also hit PBF harder than he's ever been hit. I'm not saying he wins. But I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him just yet.
I'm a huge boxing fan because my dad made me be one. I've followed both these guys for a long time. Someone in this thread compared Hatton to Gatti. That is kinda close but Hatton is just as quick as Gatti but hits much harder than him. He fights more like Baldomir except much quicker. Which brings me to my main point is that Mayweather has fought people similar to Hatton. Hatton has never seen anyone like Floyd. He has never seen anoyone as quick as him. The closest person to Mayweather's quickness was Luis Collazo and that was Hatton's hardest fight.
What few people understand is that the only time Mayweather had trouble in his career was when he has people that had quick, long, power punches. I believe that Floyd and Oscar in their prime would have been one of the best fights ever (post 1990) because Oscar would have landed more punches than he did and that would have forced him to fight. That fight would have been a coin flip.
This is my opinion but I feel Hatton's punches are too short. To generate the power he does he snaps his punches off. The thing about Mayweather is that he trains himself not to get hit in his face. When he gets hit there he gets hurt rather easily. He gives you the body because he's so well conditioned that he will let you punch there while landing few and far between to tire you out. When you are punching in the body, unless you land extremely good punches, you won't score points in the judges eyes.
Mayweather boxes. His punches are quick and he lands a lot. But you don't. He has figured out a way to win on the cards and that's the way he fights. Hatton fights to knock people out. Mayweather fights to win the fight and that's what he'll prolly do.
Mayweather by split decision.
Would really love to hear everyone's opinion on this. I have been really looking forward to this fight for a long time. The worst part about this fight is that I don't think as many people are going to watch as the De La Hoya fight because Hatton's a little more unknown. I know this sucks to say but why didn't they pull the white/black card right away. It sucks boxing isn't the way it once was.
