Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather VS Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton: Prediction
Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather VS Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton: Prediction
Saturday, December 8th at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather (38-0 (24 KOs), Grand Rapids, Michigan) will take on Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (43-0 (31 KOs), Manchester, England) in the biggest fight between undefeated Welterweights since Oscar de la Hoya and Felix Trinidad back in 1999.
Stylistically the fighters couldn’t be more different. Mayweather is the slick boxer. Hatton is the hard charging brawler. Personality wise, the fighters couldn’t be more different either. Mayweather is all Muhammad Ali- Nouveau with a hip-hop twist. Hatton is all fried fish and chips, pubs and pints with his mates. This is what makes for an interesting fight.
The keys for Mayweather are simple. Keep the jab pumping, use ring generalship, superior hand and foot speed, keep the fight in the center of the ring, use defense, and frustrate Hatton.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.- Paid The Cost
Hatton’s keys to victory are simple as well. Pressure Floyd, make it a street fight, foul if need be, rough up Floyd, bully him, intimidate him, and hit the body no one has ever hit the body before.
Ricky Hatton compilation
A classic match-up if I have ever seen one.
Floyd is a special fighter that comes along not too often. And his game is perfect to beat a guy like Hatton. Hatton is the one that needs to fight a perfect fight to beat Floyd. Personally, I think it is going to be more difficult for Floyd to win than many are anticipating. Hatton does have power, plenty of heart, and does have speed. But I have thought people have had speed before, and when they jump in the ring with Mayweather, they look slow.
Some factors that should be considered in the fight are that Hatton gains alot of weight between fights. We saw what happened to Fernando Vargas last Friday against Mayorga. Also, I heard that Mayweather was on some kind of Dancing with Celebrities type show. Going Hollywood never helps a fighter.
I really think this fight could end up being a very good one. But I have been around the fight game a long time and I grew up with kids like Floyd and Ricky. The one thing I can remember is that the kids like Floyd won. I also think Floyd will win in Las Vegas. Clear cut decision. But I will be watching to see if any different will happen.

I agree, I think mayweather will box his way to victory. but if someone can beat mayweather right now, its hatton. The fans should be very emotional on both sides as the racial undertones have really been played up in this one. But, oh well, thats boxing.

Check out de la hoya smiling in that picture. He is smiling because he knows he is getting paid. Oscar has moved into the role of the promoter quite well. Smooth suit though.

Hatton has the heart and the punch to take it to Mayweather. The reason Mayweather has been so successful is other boxers have tried to box with him. Hatton is going to beat him up and hurt him like he has never experienced.
