who is will win hatton or mayweather?

Answer 1

DLH fought past his prime fighters but isn`t great now, but Mayweather is because he beat a past his prime DLH and Gatti? LOL So much for unbiased. As to the question, unfortunate for the health of boxing, Mayweather wins.

Answer 2

You guys MUST stop trying to get Hatton to fight at 147! What's up with that? Mayweather's best weight is 140 also, so why not put them together at the the weight that they are best at? Are you Mayweather fans scared? Mayweather would be at full power at 140, and would have NO excuse to run. He will have to fight, and then we might see if he is the great champion he has been touted to be. Making Hatton fight at a weight that we all know he is not good at just makes Mayweather look even more like a coward.

Answer 3

Jazbac -- I answered your pro hatton remarks in your other wuestion too.

Its Hatton who moved down from 147 right?
Why?
We all know because he wont be effective

He wants to prove hismelf than hes not going to do it moving down to a weight he knows he can be effective at.
Hes the guy who has something to prove, then he should be the one to prove himself.
Not the other way around -- especially since Mayweather doesnt have anything to prove to anyone now.

P.S.
DeLa Hoya was good, but I doubt he will go down as one of the greatest in history now.

Like Hatton, he fought guys that were not in their prime.
Sweat Pea, Chavez, even his destruction of gatti.
Every defining match he lost.
When he ran from Trinidad and lost, that was when people started realizing this guys not as good as we think he is

The only one he won was against vargas, but then again Vargas was never anythign but a self proclaimed champ

thats why he took the hopkins and Mayweather fights
because it was his last attempt to reclaim what everyone pegged him as.
Now he'll only ever be the golden boy who couldnt win the big matches

Answer 4

What are you asking who will win? Mayweather hands down look at the opposition of opponents....Look at the skill level the defense and all....Hatton walks straight in hands down that will be target practice for mayweather...all hatton got is that he's aggressive and at 147 he won't have as much speed as he does at 140..Bout time hatton fights someone in his prime!

Answer 5

stop asking this question. Hatton faces opponents of lower quality. and boxers past their prime. Mayweather beat de la hoya. He beat Oscar f*cking de la hoya. ONE OF THE BEST BOXERS IN HISTORY. hatton would get destroyed. Hatton is 140 and Mayweather is 147. Hatton is comparable to arturo gatti. Gatti was prob better in his prime. Gatti has faster hands. And look at what happened to gatti. Gatti was abouselty demolished. Mayweather would win by a TKO in the first round.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Hatton if he could catch Mayweather!!!!!

Answer 8

styles make fights..... hattons crumbling style goes well against a slick boxer like mayweather. I give it to hatton

Answer 9

Mayweather vs. Hatton
Personally I don’t like watching Ricky Hatton fight.
I find his hold and punch style very boring.
However there are several things that he does very well, and you have to give him credit where it’s due.
Mayweather is by far the superior boxer, but styles make fights and Hatton has the perfect style to beat Mayweather, Mayweather’s style will make it impossible for him to beat Ricky Hatton, here’s why.
The thing that Mayweather fears most is looking bad in the ring; he truly is the pretty boy, Hatton’s style will make just about anyone look bad, your not going to beat him if your worried that you might not look good in doing so. Hatton is a rough fighter that doesn’t care if his hair gets messy in a fight. Nodu showed that the way to beat Mayweather is to rough him up. If Mayweather fights like he did against Ndou he will not last very long against Hatton, when Ndou tied up Mayweather, Floyd looked confused. Mayweather, while a good inside fighter, does not fight well in the clinch, against Hatton he will be in the clinch for about 2 minutes and 59 seconds of every round. In the first few rounds, Mayweather will try to feint Hatton out of position, he will be effective at this for awhile, but after Hatton figures out what Mayweather’s doing, he will simply keep moving forward, smothering Floyd and making him look bad by disrupting his timing and not giving him the room that he need’s to shine, Mayweather doesn’t need much room, all he needs is three or four inches, but he needs both hands free so that he can pivot from side to side, giving himself the space he needs to fire short hard shots. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mayweather throw a punch while he has one hand tied up, when he feels his opponents hands on him; he immediately looks to free himself and stops punching, or, later in the fight, falls into a clinch, Mayweather is not strong enough to shake off Hatton for 12 full rounds. If Mayweather gets in his rhythm, he is unstoppable, Hatton will not give him the time and space he needs to set the pace. Hatton looks to back his opponents into the ropes; this is where he can to do most of his damage. Mayweather’s style makes it easy to achieve this; he backs himself into the ropes where he slips and slides, making his opponent miss while countering. In the DeLaHoya fight, Mayweather backed himself into a corner, in the first minute of the first round, without DeLaHoya throwing a punch.
Mayweather moves very well when you allow him to dictate, but when you rush him he backs straight up with his left hand across his middle and his right tucked into his left shoulder, in a totally defensive position and not in a position to punch, he waits to roll to his left, or create distance with his hip and make you reach over the top, so he can counter, this works against a boxer but Hatton’s not a boxer, he’s a brawler and will just grab on and pound away, turning Mayweather’s insides to mush.
Mayweather fights in sprits; Hatton is a little like Henry Armstrong in that he never seems to stop punching.
Mayweather is not a huge puncher, but he wears you down with an accumulation of punches.
Hatton is a big puncher, but more importantly he breaks your spirit with his nonstop assault.
Mayweather looks to take your heart by making you miss and frustrating you. Hatton won’t care if he’s not hitting anything early, as long as his hands are moving and he’s coming forward, he’s happy.
Mayweather likes to stand in front of a guy and roll from side to side, to avoid punches and create countering opportunities, this works well against someone that’s trying to punch you in the head, but if the UFC has shown us anything, it’s that the way to beat a slick boxer that stands in front of you and makes you miss, is to grab him and throw him around. That’s Hatton’s game plan to a tee.
When in his defensive position, Mayweather leans back, with all his weight on his right foot, this will be Hatton’s signal to rush in and do his thing, By coming forward when Floyds in this position he will give Mayweather no choice but to lean, or move, further back, Hatton will simply grab him with his right hand pinning him on the ropes, not allowing Mayweather to turn back to him and keeping him out of position, all the while he will be pounding with his left hand. Mayweather will have no answer for this kind of attack.
Mayweather throws one punch at a time, to beat Hatton he will have to be busier than Hatton and back him up. This is not the way Floyd fights. He has trouble sustaining forward movement; he counts on his opponent coming to him, or at least following him around. Allowing Hatton to come straight at you, will prove fatal no matter how slick you are, if you don’t move side to side under pressure, Mayweather moves straight back when rushed.
More than likely this will be a frustrating fight to watch, with Floyd trapped on the ropes and Hatton trying his best to turn it into a hockey fight.
We know that Floyd can box, but if he ever meets Hatton in the ring, we will find out if he can fight.
