He is in incredible shape. But the man
holds so much to get in close to get to the body it is ridiculous. And yes I have seen a number of his fights unlike posters who read what others say and dont look at things with their own eyes and make an opinion. And yes he hits hard to the body, thats how he wins.
Hold--->body punch---->outlast anybody shape wise.
So when he comes up against a fighter of Floyd's skill and size, Hatton will be lunging to hold. Floyd will step to the side, jab and move. Then Hatton will eventually grab Floyd, upon which Floyd will go into his turtle shell defense where he is practically impossible to hit (Elbows held very low to cover the body). Floyd is a bigger man than Hatton beat up in his early fights. Now with Hatton up in weight to fight PBF, he does not have the same umph.
And the aforementioned will continue for 12 rounds of boredom. PBF in a UD. This is my opinion having watched both of them. The PPV will be awful. The styles dont fit.
And so lets get your opinion pre fight... what do you see happening?
