Ricky will definately give it his best, hes a tough bastard and mayweather isnt a knock out fighter above lightweight! The only thing im worried about is the way mayweather took gatti apart who has a similiar hatton style. But then Jesus Chavez is very much like hatton and gave mayweather hell.
Hatton and Gatti are nothing alike!! I'm so sick of hearing this comparison!
Gatti always was a mediocre fighter defensively, if you throw a right hand on target against him its almost guaranteed to land! Mayweather exploited that in impressive style, as did De La Hoya who normally doesn't throw them! And Alfonso Gomez smashed the Granny out of him too, ffs!
Gatti in the Mayweather was a sitting duck, he let Gayweather land four right hand leads in a row on him! Hatton on the other hand is arguably the best pressure fighter in boxing (alongside Miguel Cotto and Israel Vasquez) he closes the distance extremely fast, and is very strong and physical. I.E. He's a dirty holding MOFO. Anyways what im saying is, i see it as a 50-50ish fight and Hatton has a ton of attributes Gatti doesn't have (he's not defensively inept either) and that fight has no bearing on what will go down on December the 8th.
P.S. If anyone wants to know where they can get this fight for free and various others that the U.K. doesn't televise, drop me a U2U
