Having just got back from the You Ess of Eh, they really are giving Ricky no chance at all… Is it just me that can see Rick beating mayweather easily, IF he turns up 110% and fights the right tactics?? Or is it just me with my biased gigs on?? ---

However, obviously, If he doesn’t fight the right fight it could and will be the opposite ---

Can’t wait 🙂 can i just ask why do u think ‘easily’ mate? ---

> [@matty m](#): > > can i just ask why do u think ‘easily’ mate? I can see Floyd starting slow, taking 3-4 rounds to get into the fight. - 4 rounds to hatton When Floyd starts to try and take it up and get into his rhythm, Ricky is well into his, opening up downstairs etc - 7 rds to hatton Floyd can’t stand on the ropes trying to ride punches like he always does when it is Ricky Hatton throwing them. He hits like a horse to the body, as u know. I can just see it being 12 one sided rounds if he doesn’t stop him late, which I will be putting my pennies on as always don’t get me wrong, it could be 12 disasterous rounds of course. this is boxing! ---

Its been the case with all the recent clashes between Brits and big names Stateside. Calzaghe v Lacy, Hatton v Tyzu, Lets hope the trend continues. A Hatton victory over Mayweather would seal a rather wonderful trinity of the US pundits getting things hopelessley wrong. Perhaps the major difference between this encounter and the previous two is that US and UK pundits seems for the large part to be in agreement regarding the outcome. As for it being easy, I see it being the toughest contest of both fighters careers thus far. ---

f ookin hell smigga thats going out on a limb, think your the only one who thinks this may be easy. I can see what your thinking and it could end up that way but the smart money would say Ricky wins it on points due to his aggression with his face in a reet mess. I think being close to Ricky as you are maybe has tainted your view but one things for sure I hope your right ;D ---

He’ll realsie he’s gotta get to the center of the ring and punch and move and it will win him some of the rounds imo because he’ll catch Ricky and then bugger off but at the end of the day i see Ricky’s beautiful combination of footwork, strength, speed (i honestly think this is what will make this fight a winner for Hatton), power, and fitness combined of course with his indominable will, these will all add up and i thinkat the end of a very close fight a winner will be known after a fantastic 12th round. ---

Rick won’t beat him easily any victory from either fighter will be very hard fought and well earned. ---

But lets get back on topic and agree to agree that Rick will show them the errors of their ways a la Calzaghe. 🙂 Mayweather is no Lacy, and Hatton is no Calzaghe. Lacy was an unproven fighter that depended on brawling. He was supposed to put pressure on Calzaghe ,wear him down, then knock him out. He got OUTBOXED. Thus, if comparisons must be made, in this equation Mayweather is Calzaghe and Hatton is Lacy based on the similarity of styles and fight plan. All the nationalist blither going on here is clutching at straws. [Next page](https://forum.saddoboxing.com/t/hitmans-chances-realistic/106385.md?page=2)
