Hatton v Mayweather December 8th

[JimStynes]

Anyone else been watching the hbo show hatton, mayweather 24/7? Really interesting

Aye seen it. Different one on every week isnt their, i have seen two different ones so far. Hatton is so down to earth, seems like a real nice fella. Mayweather seems to be surrounded by hangers on, seems lonely and doesnt have any real friends. Had to laugh at him boasting about how rich he is though saying about having $300,000 around his neck, $250,000 around his wrest and $200,000 on his pinky. so cocky its unreal

Cant wait for this fight. Would love it if Hatton wins, but have my doubts. For Hatton to do it, i reckon he will have to rough Mayweather up a bit inside. dont let him fight the fight his way, or at his pace. If hatton can do this he certainly has a chance.

Mayweather's hands are brittle and he has a history of hand trouble. He isn't powerful enough to stop Hatton unless it is on cuts but I don't know that Hatton is fast enough to catch him nor is he big enough to bully him - De La hoya must have weighted 10-12lbs heavier than Mayweather come fight time and couldn't move him, so Hatton who struggled badly (and for my money lost) against Collazo when he stepped up to welterweight the last time, won't be ablet to hurt him either.

Regarding the comment about comparisons to Ali, it's not all that fanciful - I said on the other thread that if he wins this and beats Cotto afterwards then he is the best fighter since Ali at any weight. Only other contender for that I think is Duran.

Cotto is a big if however, as I was surprised at him beating Mosley who is faster and more powerful than Mayweather (although not as light on his feet). Forget De la Hoya Hatton, Cotto v Hatton would be incredible. Only problem is DLH =$$$

Verdict? Hatton will make him work but Mayweather is just too good - UD by three clear rounds.

Regarding being on TV, the DLH vs Mayweather was on Sky at 8am on the Saturday morning, I don't imagine this is any different. Ok it aint live but that fight was the biggest PPV ever and if I had had the energy I think it was on live over here with no need to pay.

well i have the setanta package so if it was free i would have taken it but if it came to a pay per view choice i would take sky as I have the HD Box so the fight in HD should be class.

I'd say it will be repeated on Sky Box Office a few times before it might be shown on Sky Sports.
