I dont know why, but I can see Mayweather losing his head a bit in this fight and taking a couple of shots early to try and get in Hattons head but fail miserably. If he opens up early, Hatton will punish him, but as you say, if he rides the early wave, could be a long night of boxing.

I just hope Hatton stays cool, he more than likely needs a KO, and if it gets to the 8th or 9th and Mayweather's still frustrating him, he might completely open up and get put on his arse, hopefully he'll be sensible to keep plucking away until Maywather lets him in though, that looks to be Hatton's best chance, can see this being a brilliant fight though.

Did anyone see Mayweather's coach saying they might try middleweight next? If they're that cocky, why not go for super-middleweight? i'd like nothing better than to see Calzaghe lay the f****r out.

Disagree

The selection of the ref has a huge impact on this fight...

Hatton needs to get close enough to mayweather to hurt him.. Cortez will not step in and break as much as other refs would.. So mayweather wont get that protection..

so you know that castillo was completely ineffective and his ribs were already in terrible shape and so using it as an example of a great hatton win is utterly empty.

castillo fought worse than gatti in the gatti-gomez fight.

The question you should ask is WHY castillo was so ineffective..

And what another fight has to do with anything i dont know..

because he was old, tired, out of shape, not up to it, broken, unprepared and old?
