Keep telling yourself that Hatton has a chance.
I don't hate Mayweather because he is 'so damn good'. I just cannot stand his loud mouth and the crap he pulls. He is damn good, which just makes it worse...

I dont hate Mayweather. He is really kinda funny. I just think that a guy like Hatton may push him around and hurt him. I think the fight is pretty close. If Mayweather was +200 I'd be betting him.

Hatton is not exactly made out to be what he is and either is Mayweather. HBO is doing a superb job in making this good guy bad guy fight.

With that being said I really want Hatton to win but he has shown some deficiencies. Hatton holds and hits against good boxers. Makes for a very boring Hatton. PBF is one of, if not the quickest boxers I have ever seen defensively.

I look for a big letdown and a PBF win by decision with Hatton not taking the risks to win. If Hatton does really open up, he has the chance of being hurt. Hatton also has a much better chance of actually winning. Floyd is Floyd, he will move and box and try and do whatever it takes to win a decision as always, unless Hatton actually comes at him without holding.

PBF loves to talk big about killing opponents in the ring and then he goes in and totally outclasses them with speed and pure boxing skills. He has done this countless times and will do this again. Boring fight, unanimous decision to Floyd.

I'm picking Hatton as well, unless Mayweather does dance and run like a little bitch! Hatton, hopefully can cut off the ring, back his ass into the corner and open up on! Hatton is an in your face, pressure type fighter, and Mayweather will be facing more punches then he's maybe seen in his other fights combined! I hope Hatton wins, and Floyd gets knocked the f***ck out!

Didn't somebody say PBF has never lost? Why are you trying to beat somebody who doesn't lose? There has never been a fight worth paying $50 to watch.I mean if I get invited over to see one,then sometimes I go,but that's it's a minor entertainment product.That final fight of the contenders was o.k.,but somehow boxing is not something I seem to think is worth paying for.

this will be a boring fight, in the PBF ODH match, Oscar tried to press the action but PBF is too fast, and smart to know he can win without being thrown into exchanges. The best fight would be a rematch with Zab Judah.
If Hatton tries to press the pace, hes just gonna get socked in the face..lol
Mayweather wins by unanimous decision

All boxers are big headed and confident, but Mayweather just takes the biscuit here. He is the most arrogant piece of sh!t i have ever seen or heard. For that reason, i hope Hatton knocks this loud mouth brat out. Hatton is a working class lad who has had to work damn hard throughout his life, even if he wins people will be making excuses for mayweather. If Mayweather wins, Hatton will come out and say well done and wil admit Mayweather was the best on the night. He's a proper boxer, he can actually punch his way to victory rather skip round the ring throwing a few punches.

The first few rounds will tell the story. If Hatton is allowed to get close a few times in the first couple of rounds, they might as well stop the fight there and then. If he can land a few of those fast body shots, that will knock Mayweather for a whole round.

Hatton will have to work very hard if he's going to get the win here, but he is a grafter. He's not afraid to get hurt. He's got a good chin and can take a lot of punches. It is well known that he has fragile skin below the eyes, and he cuts easily in that area. Mayweather will try and take advantage of that and use his extra reach for the jabs, but while he is looking for that punch, it will leave him open for four or five shots to the stomach.

It will be the toughest fight either of them have faced, but i think Hatton has better credentials.

How i'd love to see Hatton knock that complete idiot out. I doubt a knock out is on the cards for either fighter though.

Even if Hatton is easily the best on the night, it wouldn't surprise me if Mayweather gets the decision. Boxing is a nightmare when it comes down to points decisions. It seems as though judges like to see "style" in the ring these days. It's a joke.

C'mon Hatton, shut loud mouth nancy boy up!

1. PBF is a great boxer. And make no mistake... he can throw.
2. Hatton will get close. PBF is a GREAT in close fighter. One of the best ever at this size. PBF turns his body and uses his elbows to deflect body punches, and then comes back with vicious counters. This, imo, will show in later rounds
3.Hatton is not dumb. Watch the Callazo fight. He ran.
4. AGREE; Disagree, Floyd has fought tougher fighters.
5. AGREE agressively
6. Disagree. If it is close, it is Hatton. This is a Golden Boy production. Hatton is a Golden Boy boxer. This would set up a later fight with De La Hoya (El presidente of Golden Boy productions)

I think we all know deep down Hatton is up against it, but I just hope and pray he can beat that big mouth Mayweather. His personality isn't what anyone really wants to see in sport.

He DOES need to be brought down by a peg or two (hopefully more).

Hatton is very relaxed about this and what he says is very tongue-in-cheek. Mayweather is going around like he has already won the fight. I dislike that kind of arrogance in anyone in sport.

Ofcourse i will be cheering on the euro fighter, but not just because i'm a european. Hatton is a real grafter with an abbundance of stamina. He is the sort of boxer who could go ten rounds non stop and still have a bit left at the end. I'm not convinced Mayweather can do that, I don't think he is able to throw punches as frequently as Hatton can (and will).

Someone said the Mayweather can fight up close. Sure, he might be able to do that and do it fairly well. However, i've seen no one in the world who fights close up better than Hatton. I think Mayweather could be floored if he thinks he can match it up close with Hatton. Mayweather is a thinker though, he knows he would be under pressure if he did that.

Mayweather is favourite and probably deserves to be, but i can't help the fact that i do not like his attitude and i really hope Hatton floors him tonight.

It isn't a fight where anyone can be surprised, whatever the result. I would prefer Hatton to win, ofcourse, but i won't be surprised if he doesn't.

The fight is about 4am our time and is costing £14.95 (so about $30), so there is next to no chance of me being able to see it.
