Hatton Vs Mayweather done....ALMOST!

[kurtangle01]

Good post

I must say that I still think Mayweather would be more comfortable than hatton fighting at 147lbs due to the number of fights he's at that weight compared to Hatton.

I completely agree although in all his time at the Welterweight limit the only natural Welter he fought was Baldomir. Judah and Mitchell were blown up Light-Welters. The De La Hoya fight at Light-Middleweight will have done him no harm at all though.

When Hatton fought Collazo he was fighting a big Welterweight, a pretty good one at that. He, and his team, made mistakes leading up to that and his preperation was apparently not as good as it should have been.

The big advantage that Floyd holds over Hatton, apart from his speed and footwork, is his size and reach. He's 2 inches taller and his reach is 7 inches longer. Hatton will have no option but to try and make the fight happen up close. He would do anyway but he can't afford to give Mayweather an inch.

I know alot of people are backing Floyd and it's not hard to see why because the guy's one of the very best in the business in every sense however he does have weaknesses that have been exposed when he's been pressurised. He came close to defeat against Castillo a few years ago, infact many thought he did lose the fight, and that was because he couldn't cope with the pressure style of Castillo. He struggled against Oscar and Judah aswell when both fighters pressured him early on but he took over when they tired. Will Hatton be able to pressure Mayweather the way they did though and if he is able to will he tire? I'm not so sure he would tire.

I think both fighters can win it's just a question of who gets to fight their fight.

Thats a good post and pretty much sums it up, apart from vs Collazo, Hatton has always had great stamina and his game is up close and rough n ready, I really think that Mayweather will be in trouble should Hatton be on top form.....but who knows if he can raise his game even further?
I got a feeling for Hatton to win this.

Nice one

It was the best price decent hotel on the strip and gets a 4.7 out of 5 in reviews.

Could have got the Bellagio for and extra £80 but prob a bit posh for us.

Hopefully i'll see some of Vegas this time, just got wrecked for 3 days last time i was there and seen **** all.

Problem is im going with the same lad, so the chances are low.

I know, i didnt think they would see the funny side of 2 scousers running round banging on peoples doors at 5 in the morning.

It really did seem like a good idea at the time

Got to go to the Bellagio buffet though

From what I hear, the Belagio is good for poker players, some big cash games there. Have never been to Vegas though, so I couldn't back it up.

Anyone else interested in going over.
If so, I may go myself, if we can get a few of us to go. Don't want to be going on my own like lol.
How much will tickets for the fight cost? Anyone got an idea.
Ohh and Dougie, is that package for flights and accommodation?.

My missus wants to go over for the fight. She loves boxing - we've been the MEN to see Ricky a couple of times but now she fancies Vegas.
Not sure I'd let her meet up with my internet mates though !!!


Btw thankx for the info Dougie

No worries Les.
Just thought a few of the lads might be interested in a trip over.
My mates over here never do ****, and they are all ****ing united fans too :whatever: they never give me **** though lol.

Stayed there for the Urango fight in Jan and will probably stay there again in Dec. It doesn't make much sense to pay an extra £80 as it's basically just somewhere to ****, shower and shave!

There's no way I could go on me own - otherwise I'd have been up for going with yer bazza. Still not sure we'll be going but we;re looking into it.

Don't book to go to Vegas just yet because there's apparently a strong chance that the fight will be held at The Staples Centre in L.A.

Apparently no announcement will be made until later this month on where the fight will be held, maybe even the beginning of September according to Hattons website.
