If this fight ever happens, who do you think would win? many people class Mayweather as the best pound for pound boxer in the world, and Hatton has been looked impressive in his last few fights, it's a tough call but my money would be on the "Pretty Boy" what do you think?

Santana stole my thunder, Brent stole my lightning! I have a similar opinion of Santana's with regard to Mayweather's person, unfortunately no one can deny that his skills are on a different level than that of hatton.
On a seperate note, I've watched fighters like Mayweather evolve. They don't start out all arrogant and cocky. They start at the bottom like everyone else. You get a few belts and everyone telling you that you're pfp the best in the sport, I guess the arrogance comes with it. I mean, no one can kick your butt, you get paid and endorsed to kick everyone elses butt, so I guess you slowly develop a chip (or in Floyd's case, a 2x4) on your shoulder....
Maybe one of these days we'll see a champion with humility and grace. But we won't hold our breath, will we.....

I agree with you. Ricky is a great fighter to watch, but he can and has been outboxed on several occasions. Also, he has tender skin and will most likely cut, and possibly bad as well. To beat a fighter like Mayweather, you would have to be a slick infighter with great head movement as well as brawling abilities..Roberto Duran was the best, and used this to outbox and outfight a bigger Suger Ray Leonard. Mayweather is'nt Leonard and Hatton sure aint Duran. There is an old boxing adage which says: 'A good boxer (Mayweather) will always beat a great fighter (Hatton)
PS I still have'nt seen Floyd tested yet, so I don't really know how good he is!

Mayweather will definately win - he is just an amzing boxer! He's got speed, power, style, grace and balance. Hatton just charges at people and I think that if he did that against Mayweather he'd get a pretty bad beating. Mayweather would just jab, jab, and then hook him with a stiff right hand. You can't have a go at Mayweather for bing a "pretty boy" because it just means he doesn't get hit - just like Ali.

Jamieson ~
In my opinion, this wouldn't be anything close to a fight. Ricky has proved he doesn't carry any power up with him weight, the Callazo fight is a perfect example. Hatton has no head movement to speak of so he would be a human punching bag the whole time this fight lasted, although I don't think that Floyd can knock Ricky out, he might be able to swell him up and cut him making the referee stop the contest.
Ricky Hatton is one of the most overrated fighters out there today, he's a tough kid who's nothing special, the gyms across America are filled with all kinds of Ricky Hattons. In England, Ricky is considered "Great" (doesn't say much for the English fight fans, does it?) but over here he just another small fish in the great big ocean.
I have no respect for Floyd as a fighter, but he is the better boxer of the two and his superior speed would be the biggest difference in this fight, both Hatton and Mayweather are equal in power (neither one can brake a egg at 147) Floyd is the sharper more accurate puncher who would land the shorter crisper shots on a looping (wide punching) Hatton.
Referee would stop this fight in the 8th round due to the fact that "The Hitman" wouldn't be able to see. Floyd would make this as boring as the Baldomir fight.
Thanks for the question Jamieson.

This fights a joke, and no Hatton hasnt looked impressive in his last few outings. His last fight (Collazo) could have gone either way. Anyone who is remotely close to Floyd's size stands no chance against him, he has established this. He needs to step it up and take on some big, active welters (Williams, Maragarito, or even Cintron) or retire like he was whining about the other night. Oh, and Floyd has tried to get a fight with Hatton (which makes sense seeing how easily he could beat him) and Hatton wants no part of it, so dont expect this to ever go down.

you have some factors, yet i do no longer see it as that undesirable. Hatton did no longer stick to his recreation plan, yet that replaced into due usually to Mayweather's skills. on the different hand, Mayweather rose above himself and easily confronted Hatton somewhat of only backpedaling away to an elementary factors victory the way he did with ODLH. the two had stable moments, around a million probable being Hatton's best, and around 10 Mayweather's best. particular, particularly some the Hatton followers have been very disappointing. this does not excuse it in any respect, yet you could desire to bear in mind you have been seeing the aftereffects of unfastened liquor on an prolonged worldwide sunlight hours flight and cheap liquor from an obligation unfastened save for intake interior the hotel later. i did no longer see Cortez as biased. He would have been observing Hatton extra heavily, yet his previous popularity in maximum circumstances-breaker justified that. (BTW, i wanted Hatton to win and am disillusioned that he did no longer stick to by after around a million.)

I think Mayweather is too fast. That said, Hatton is a tough cookie. But...let's be real. Does any realist see Hatton catching Mayweather. Floyd would probably knock Hatton out. But what weight would they fight at? Welter? For whose title?

Think a lot of yanks underestimate Ricky. Saying he cant move his head cant in fight cant short punch. Rubbish, Mayweather might well win but America is not full of Rikki`s ask Costa Tsu. I would say that if Rikki puts his mind to it and really turns up on the night he could trouble Floyd. Cuts might be a problem.

this fight is a non-starter because mayweather has already said he is going to pack in boxing after one more fight and he wants to fight oscar de le hoya,if hatton did fight him i think hatton would have a good go but he would get beat and then retire.
