Supposed to be the fight of the year. December 8th? If Hatton works the hook to the body, he's got a good shot. I think it was Castillo that he put down with a hook to the liver somewhere around the 4th round. Any predictions?

    Hatton put down Castillo in 4 rounds and Castillo gave Mayweather a pretty hard time. Castillo did look slow in the fight against Hatton, so it's hard to say if that is a good comparison.

    I think Hatton has a good chance of giving Mayweather problems. If Mayweather, has a problem with Hatton's style of constantly moving forward, working inside, then clinching, Hatton could win. On the other hand, I doubt there's anyone better right now at fighting going backwards than Mayweather.

    If I were betting I'd take Mayweather, unless there were some long odds on Hattton.

    Mayweather's gonna mop the floor with Hatton. Pound for pound, Mayweather is the best there is. The cocky SOB can certainly back up his words.

    I haven't followed boxing that closely since Leonard vs. Hagler, but the little I've seen of Mayweather I haven't seen anything special. He's been good at avoiding the fight so that might be the key here, Mayweather stepping back and picking a point here and there while frustrating Hatton.

    Mayweather is alright, definitely a little too flashy/cocky for what I like to see in a fighter. Then again most of them are this way. I miss the Old, one hitter, lay ya a$$ out guy we all loved by the name of Mike Tyson. I vote for Mayweather in this one, if he loses he still has 50 cent in his corner, to laugh straight to the bank with. Wonder if they'll do another song for this one?

    I ordered the fight last night on PPV for this Sat , and had to pay an extra 10 dollars to get it in HD :mad: I already subscribe to HD with my directv package...that is such ****...if it wasnt for the friends and family coming over to see it on the big plasma in the HT ( Need it in HD of course ) I would have not gotten it at all ( SD or HD ) just for myself.

    I dont want to call and raise hell ( And get the 10 dollar credit :) ) now before the fight...I dont want it to mysteriously not work on Sat ;) ...but I will on Sunday ...its just not right.

    Mayweather will win the fight, but mop the floor? all he did in the Delahoya fight was dance around and score points. yeah he won, yeah, he showed amazing speed, but saying he'll mop the floor like he's a devestating hitter seems a little off

    no disrespect, nothing but love brotha :D

    that said, seeing Mayweather drop like a stone from a kidney shot is intriquing. I've taken a kidney shot, and the night in the ER pissing battery acid and congealed blood to go along with it. It SUCKS!!!!!

    Only time one punch dropped me......and HARD!

    if Hatton can land, then yes you might be right. If I were betting, I'd say Mayweather in a decision. I think Mayweather will be too fast for Hatton to land enough serious blows to hurt him

    About what I expect too....the Mayweather dancing show against De La Hoya didnt impress whatsoever...Hatton is gonna need a knockout though with as crooked as boxing judging has become in recent years.

    could not agree with you more.

    I remember him saying "i'm retiring, I have nothing more to prove"
    I thought he was nuts. he ran around, avoided getting hit. again, he showed world class speed and agility, not going to take it away from him, but give me a break!

    I re-watched the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight, then the Hatton-Castillo fight. Hatton absorbed some serious blows, but on every occasion, came back with a barrage so fierce, it took the will out of Castillo. Done in 4 with Castillo on the canvas. There is no doubt that Hatton is coming forward, and we will see tonight if Mayweather can deter him with those jabs. I doubt it. It's going to be a fight that is certain. I'm taking the underdog, Hatton in 9.

    Dancing is what makes Mayweather a champion, so why criticize him for using that winning strategy against De la Hoya? Hell, if I were a boxer, I'd dance around a lot to avoid getting punched!:p Getting punched in the face repeatedly certainly cannot be a pleasant experience. So will Mayweather dance again? Of course, and I don't blame him.

    There is a HUGE difference between the agility and light on your toes movements needed to avoid your opponents punches...and just backpeddling around the ring while the fans are bored off of their asses.
    De La Hoya was chasing him around the ring trying to get him to engage...but Mayweather was like Maverick after losing goose...it was boring as hell to watch.

    One of the best things you can do in the ring is make your opponent miss punches thrown at you....the opponent losses a LOT of energy/stamina with every one of those misses.....being quick enough to duck/side step/etc AND still be able to counter attack when he does miss is the making of a great champion and a great fight to watch. Watching somebody chase someone around the ring with no action is not what the fans pay for.

    Sweeeeeet! Looks like Hatton wants to eat his lunch. The fans seem to be responding much more to Hatton's more self deprecating style, and that will be a help on the road. Fight starts at 9, but there are 2 fights prior, so maybe around 11 Eastern? Can't seem to find any reliable times for the main card.

    Rounds under/over is at 11.5
    Mayweather 1/2 favored
    Hatton by knockout 4:1

    The best way not to lose any money on this fight .... don't bet.

    I'd like to see Hatton KO Mayweather but as quick as Floyd is, I doubt it.

    Conventional wisdom would expect either Hatton to win by KO or Mayweather to win by decision.

    I just hope I actually get to see a flippin' fight and not 2 hours of ring around the rosies.

    No duckets on this other than the PPV extortion. Decent fight. Hatton looked real small at the weight, and slower than at 140lbs. Although I don't think that there was any doubt that Mayweather was the better boxer, but I expected him to have more trouble with this brawler. Hope over common sense, I guess. Floyd seemed to get a little rattled early, but found a way around it. He fought his best fight in a long time, IMO, and won rather easily. I was surprised that he showed some class at the end and was rather gracious. Worth the few bucks, good fight.

    100M in wagers on this fight, 30M coming from the UK. Here a special delivery for EarlyB: Hatton on his arse.

    Next time those UK asshats can stay home...they were actually booing loudly during the national anthem . Mayweather got away with more illegal elbows then I have ever seen in a fight...no points docked..Hatton got docked for hitting behind the head when Mayweather dove between the ropes. :confused:

    Sure in the last 2 rounds Mayweather came on strong and deserverd the win...but for the first 8 rounds the judges were on crack on a couple of rounds that were clearly...even by every announcer..Hattons.

    The first 3 fights were crap...but the money was well spent with the main event...Mayweather took the fight to Hatton in the 9th and 10th and deserved that win...he also showed more class then I expected after the fight...a deserving champ.
