Mayweather the boxer will get inside Hatton the street sh't head who will have to cover up or go down and would be unlikely to get inside Mayweather. Can't see Mayweather getting caught on the ropes.
Mayweather 75% sure to win...prob within the distance.
Promoters bound to be thinking of the coin for the rematch.. refs may spoil this one.

I'd love to see hatton shut that big mouth of Mayweather but it won't be easy for him, so I'm preparing for dissapointment but hoping for a pleasant suprise

Ring legends Oscar De La hoya and Bernard Hopkins back Hatton to be too good for Mayweather. Also Castillo, who has fought both men says that Hatton will win. Castillo fought Mayweather twice going the distance and nearly beating Mayweather, whereas Hatton ko'd Castillo out in round 4.
Don't listen to promoters hype. Mayweather can move and has genuine hand speed.. it's only his ego that could let him down if any good boxer goes in close toe to toe with a street fighter they are asking to go down... The only way that would happen is if the fight were fixed and let's face it most are..

This bout is no Leonard v Duran.

Hatton looks well up for this one, he has the perfect etched chiselled physique and mentally he is prepared. Floyd appears intimidated

Mayweather won't be there to trade with, he's gonna slip and slide and he's not gonna be foolish and stick his chin out.
"He's a very, very technical fighter. Ricky Hatton will put a lot of pressure on him, but it's 'small' pressure, it's not 'big' pressure and this is the whole key.
"Ricky is not a big man, he's smaller height-wise and in every other department. The other guy is quicker, and Ricky's not gonna find the guy.
"Ricky's not gonna fight head-to-head with the guy because he ain't gonna be there. Mayweather's gonna slide on him and 'bing', hit him with counters.
"It's gonna be a great fight to look at and it could go the route. But I see Ricky Hatton getting busted up and I see him maybe losing the fight on cuts.

I watched UFC TUF Finale and the Hatton-Mayweather fight. The former was so much better. Boxing is just ridiculously boring. The ref stepping in over and over and over. It never stood out to me before MMA. I'd love to have seen Floyd back up his lip and actually fight in an MMA match. Of course, he made the smart move and apologized. He'd get mauled.
Ah well, boring fight, but at least it didn't go to a decision.
