Floyd would win. Hatton is a better version of Carlos Baldomir, but would yield close to the same result in a fight against floyd.

I agree!

Floyd is much too fast for Hatton.
man this is boring but i will say again, hatton isnt like baldomir at all no comparison, hatton is a pressure fighter much like castillo and margarito but only better, we all know what happened to floyd in his first fight with castillo he got bullyed and was gifted a fight he clearly lost. now hatton can box better than castillo he's faster than castillo, he has more pop than castillo and has abetter chin than castillo. i think he'd give floyd fit's and pickup the stoppage win, he's only challenged him about 6 times in the last 6 months. :rolleyes:

Hatton IS like Baldomir in the fact that they are BOTH pressure fighters who try to push the action, and always come forward. They both have great chins, average speed and movement and good power. Hatton, however, is more of a rough house fighter. He'd never give Floyd "fits" because he'd have the same trouble Baldomir had- Getting inside to land any type of punch on floyd. I like Hatton, but he's clearly not a good matchup for Floyd. Mayweather would win, again, on a unanimous decision by sticking him with single punches, counterpunching, and moving before Hatton can get in close enough to bully him.
They should hurry up and make this match . One is allready treatening retirement and hatton's next macht will tell alot about how much his got left, providing the colombian is no cream puff.seems to me like floyd who's gonna make serious mula with Delahoya,win loose or draw is probably gonna take a long hiatus after that , until he gets bored and then make the official comeback.Who knows if we'll ever see this two get it on.
I have nothing but respect for Ricky Hatton... I remember when he beat Kostya Tsyzu... and they had so much respect for each other! So many boxers dispespected Kostya and got their asses whooped by him retaliation for their actions... Kostya wasn't a big mouth! The fight between him and Hatton was really good... and fair... straight down the line... and I applauded both me! Again... I say I have nothing but respect for Ricky Hatton... and I would love to see him beat the snot out of Floyd Mayweather Jr.:D

Maybe I was watching a different fight than you. Scratch that I wasn't watching a fight I was watching a wrestling match. Why do you think he always wants to fight on his home turf? I would love nothing more than to have Ricky Hatton get pummeled by Prett Boy Floyd.
Remember Collazo and now compare
Collazo side steped and counterd flotd is better at that then anybody else.
Floyd is also faster
And moving up in weight
Hatton moved up and left his guns behind then got killed
I would like nothing less then to see Floyd stop him.
Or Floyd get stopped. But it won’t be by Hatton
i think a fighter like hatton will beat floyd but not hatton.

I had to read that line 5 times before i got it.. :D
Ricky by stoppage in round 10. Hattons too strong and would force a stoppage.
*sigh*

here we go again....

Tommy, not in a million years would Hatton beat PBF. He doesn't have the speed or the defense to do it.

While he possesses the attributes required to beat Floyd, he doesn't have enough of each of them to get the job done.

Against Collazo, as someone above me mentioned, he was stymied by an opponent that side-stepped his straight-forward rushing and counter-punched him. Hatton was soundly criticized by MANY people after the Collazo fight, for all his clutching/grabbing, even bestowing him with the nickname of "John Ruiz JR".

Since the Castillo fight, Floyd has figured out how to deal with bullies/big guys, ...he learned what to do about it, and put it into practice, and no one has bullied him since. Gatti was supposed to do it, Baldomir was supposed to do it, but to no avail.

I'd love to see this fight made. (PBF-Hatton)

I'm also a fan of Hatton's "in your face style". Do I think he's a fighter who could defeat Floyd? NO.

nothing alike, baldomir only has 9 ko's and grinds out point wins using his strengh to wear down his opponents.

hatton throws about 100 punches a round and has 31 ko's from 40 fights enough said !!

hatton would walk through anything pbf through at him, hatton cuts off the ring better than prob any fighter alive today and would have floyd who averages about 40 punches a round thinking he was surounded as the hitman can throw 100 punches a round for 12 rounds.

Throwing does not equal "landing".

Cutting off the ring...? We also discussed this. With PBF's speed, Hatton would get numerous warnings for holding and clinching, trust me. When he sets to throw, and then throws, PBF will not be there to get hit.

I agree. High volume punching doesnt mean squat if there isnt a "statue" standing in front of you to absorb them. Floyd gets hit less than most boxers in the sport, and its because his defense and movement are so good. If you think he'd land anywhere CLOSE to that number per round against Floyd, your dreaming, so his punch volume is virtually irrelevant...I mean, Unless they fight in a 12' X 12' ring...and even then i dont know.
i think hatton would be constantly comin forward atacking at mayweathers body wearing him down untill he drops to the canvas. Mayweather would counter punch hatton and would move out of alot of his punches but he couldnt keep the hitman off him for 12 rounds no way. We have seen how maywetaher can be beat. JOSE LUIS CASTILLO. Lots of presure and lots of punches. Hatton does this better than Castillo and anyone else in the buisness. I will stick with my opinion and prediiction. Stoppage in round 10. This fight will happen someday in the future. It has to. Maywethaer has at least 5 more fights in him. Hatton the same and if they both retire without fighting each other they both wont get half the credit they would have if they fought each other. Come on Hatton.
