this is a fight that will much resemble leonard and duran. you got power vs. speed. mayweather will be on his bicycle for most of the bout, peppering hatton with arm punches. if hatton can cut off the ring and work his angles (hatton is great @ opening holes and punishing the body) and apply his power, mayweather is going to sleep. period.

If Hatton catches him and uses his work rate it will be a tough night for Mayweather... can he handle the power? But logic says Mayweather will run like a girl and tickle him with fast hands, no power......

Reckon Mayweather on points through running, unless Hatton sits him on the ropes all night and wears him out.

Speed vs. Power. Speed will understimate the speed of the power and the power will control the speed. Hatton is a ferocious fighter that will not stop unless he dies. Mayweather doesn't possess that quality. Hatton is a lion that will destroy the pitbull.

hattons going to get beaten, all of his previous opponents have been handpicked, all the fighters of note he has beaten have been way past their prime.

Hatton will be eating his fish and chips through a straw and speaking ebonics when Mayweather is done with him.

All of Mayweather,s fans, do your home work and believe that Mayweather's time for defeat is near, coming from the hands of another undefeated fighter. You have taken lightly a very skilled fighter:

Hatton is a fighter to the end ,he just fights and fights , never surrenders ,do not underestimate ,you have been warned, George.

Hatton will lose. Mayweather in pretty much incredible. If Fatton was smart, he would just stay away. Then again, to lose and make millions isn't so bad afterall.

If we look back over boxing history it is usually the people's champion who gets beat. well let me tell you all that is going to change come Dec 8th. im not disregarding floyds talents but tell me wo is going to beat the hitman in his prime?Answer Ricky himself, an he ain't ready to do that yet.Verdict Hatton points win (even in America!)

mr T, sunderlnd,

i think hatton will win hes the best and if he wins he should fight de la hoya

I'm a big boxing fan and an ever bigger Hatton fan. I can give much of my own logic as to why I believe Ricky will win this fight, but I won't. I'll keep it simple. Every dog has his day and I believe on Dec 8th it'll be Floyd's! Hatton vs. Mayweather is like good vs. evil. What better way for the most arragant fighter (whose talent I do respect!) in the sport to be humbled buy the people's Champ!!!

I think Ricky might upset the odds on this one. Mayweather has never been caught with a quality body shot similar to the one Hatton landed on Castillo to stop that fight. There may be an issue with styles for Ricky, there is no better defensive boxer in the game than Mayweather, we'll see. I don't think Floyd has the power to knock Ricky out, but he does have the ability to dance, stick, move and lure him on to flurries that will make Floyd look good to the judges. My opinion is he never won the fight against De La Hoya, he did however convince the judges because of his style. This if anything will be Ricky's undoing. Verdict: Hatton by K.O. Round 3!

I definately think this will have an effect on future attendances in vegas by genuine Hatton fans. Who or what ever is behind this ticket farce needs to be sorted out and fast.

I think the ticket situation is a total disgrace, both camps new from the start was was going to happen, and 3900 going to a ballot over here, they should be ashamed of themselves, i spoke to a person from ticketmaster.com on monday and he told me there was not ONE ticket available to the general public.. I see Beckham has got his ticket, i wonder what ballot he won his from, and how many Hatton fights has he been to this year.. i have spent well over 4 grand this year going to Vegast to watch Hatton, but he wont get another penny from me or any of my mates from now on,

Steve, Manchester,

You want to ask Team Hatton what it did with the 3,900 Tickets - Punch Promotions are not wanting to discuss how many want into the Ballot and how many went to VIP Corp Packages, sad fact Ticketmaster US has NO Tickets avaialble at 18:01hrs, yet all the Casino on the Strip are selling packages (hotel's + ticket $150) for nearly $3,000

Hatton will destroy him. British steel at its best
