gonna be a great fight
Doubt it'll be good, two great fighters, yes, but how they are matched by skill will make up for a boring fight. Mayweather was broing in the De La Hoya fight based on how Floyd goes up against those type of fighters and fighters like Hatton. And all I have to say about Hatton is....
Hatton = Humanface Huggah..... if you know what I'm getting at.
Mayweather will win though, he always comes out on top.

^^^ I liked the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight. It had good science to it
I agree with Bg Knocc Out, Floyd still showcased his flamboyant style against Hoya . . . which reinstates why he was the victor but . . .
I hope this fight for Floyd does not turn out to be a Roy Jones Jr. case (a secret set-up)

Mayweather needs to fight once in a while...mix it up. De La Hoya is past his prime and couldnt catch Floyd.
Mayweather is good, but I dont know about his toughness yet...i think he is afraid to mix it up. Sugar Ray floated like a butterfly, but he got in their and fought.
Until Mayweather actually brawls, he just reminds me of an olympic point boxer....I think he will get caught eventually probly by Hatton.
BTW, that De la hoya, mayweather fight was a joke. It was like an exhibition...worst big fight Ive ever seen.
Yea way to much hype, but it at least got boxing back into it's mainstream position that it hasn't had for years, but all it got was a little noticed.
yea its gonna be dope. IM me if u want the mayweather hatton 24/7 episodes
waht will be better for boxing mayweather losing or winning?
Winning 'cause he's going against a Brit! lol, no offense to anyone but having the supposid best in the game (an american) lose to an undefeated Brit puts us under.
I dont know....I just want to see a great fight, but I dont think Mayweather is the type of fighter people get excited about. You need to actually toe the line and hit and be hit. Think about all the great fights you've ever seen...shit, look up some old footage from the forties and fifties.....thats when they actually fought. There wasn't any pretty boys because they stood in their.
Go to youtube and watch Marcian vs. Archie Moore....those were two warriors....or Frazier/Ali...for all Ali's float like a butterfly talk, he took more shots and stood in there more than anyone. watch his fight with frazier when frazier is just digging at his body with hooks....
Mayweather can't touch that...none of these boxers nowadays can. Closest was when Gatti and Ward let loose....and actually Pavlik/Taylor was a great fight too...
I hope Hatton messes the pretty boy up.
A Yo NickyTooch, I HAVE to disagree with your feelings on the result of Floyd vs. Hatton.
I don't disagree with your warrior outlook on boxers from earlier years but Floyd's "Pretty Boy" style is flamboyant and innovative. He is different, and his style is focused on finesse and speed.
With time things change naturally. Its the same thing with the technology of the cell phone. Cell Phones used to the size of bricks now they're the size of chicken nuggets.
No disrespect but I'm with Floyd because I like his boxing style.

Thats fine.....I just think there comes a point in time where tapping someone and running around the ring won't satisfy the judges. I dont really believe his style is all that innovative. There have been many flamboyant people.....Prince Naseem Hamed was like that, but when he got his clock cleaned, you didnt hear much afterwards.
I think Floyd could be a good fighter....he needs to stop being afraid of mixing it up.
Times have changed my friend, 40's 50's almost every boxer had the same style of fighting, things got alittle broader during the time Ali came 'cause he had a style that nobody ever seen, and that motivated people to take on different techniques, that's why things are some much more difficult nowadays in this sport compared to 40's 50's 'cause ya can't just throw haymaker after haymaker, now you gotta figure out your opponent alot more.
