Nice. I want Hatton to win. I see this fight going to a decision. Going to have to think how I want to bet this. I think this fight will go the same way as Mayweather/De La Hoya though.

I love to watch Mayweather box. IMO the best technical boxer there. Sharp combinations, perfect timing and speed. Just really an art to watch him box.
YOu can certainly argue that his power #s might not be on par with Hatton, but the fact that he's gonna land more on Hatton to eek out a decision is what I'm looking here. Maybe if Hatton catches him with one? I dunno. Mayweather is also very artful in making people miss.
Should be a good fight.

There is really no safe bet in this whole fight. I will put some points on Mayweather wins and Mayweather wins outright. Then if he wins I win FF points, but if he loses I don't care about a few thousand FF points. (Thanks for that tip Gooner)

Actually, I see can possibly see Hatton getting the upset for a certain reason. His style of fighting will frusterate FM. His style is very compact. He will chase you down with his guard up and clinch with you. Then he will push away and land that big bomb. He also fights in the clinch kinda like Randy Couture. I wanna see how being smothered for 12 rounds is going to affect Mayweather....

I really like Hatton but I'm sorry. Mayweather is just too perfect with his boxing.
Hatton stands very little chance of beating someone as good as a mayweather. He's really the Michael Jordan of boxing IMO right now and I don't see this as being much of a contest.
Mayweather is the type of guy that can adjust instantaneously to whatever fighter he is fighting and then make that fighter look stupid.
You come with power, Mayweather comes with speed. You come with speed? Mayweather comes with power. You come with both? Mayweather makes you miss
Mayweather by decision
