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 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.

If Mayweather wins I'll post on this board again since I'm getting banned from Pace Advantage. If not, I'll find another horse racing board with degenerate war mongering republicans to troll.

Also..change my name to Axe Wound please.

Well Hatton sure got his hat handed to him.



I'm sure Hatton's hat is off to Mayweather though.

I bet hatton at +200
however I cant see him winning a decision because he is going to get hit too muc. Mayweather will score all night on him and rack up the points. But he has a history of hand problems and if he hurts it he will lose. Plus Oscar who is far from a great body worker hurt him several times and hatton will do better work, especially since he is shorter than Oscar. Hatton by TKO?
Obviously I am rooting for Hatton but Mayweather is a great fighter. Of course they all lose sometime...
