Whos gonna win? I really want Hatton to smash Mayweathers face all round the ring. However, I just dont know. For all his mouth, he is that damn good.

Heart says Hatton. Head says Mayweather.

Can't wait to watch it tbh.

Obviously i'd like Hatton to win, since he's a homie from England. I couldn't put my money on anybody though :(

From what i've seen from Hatton, he likes to walk or jump punches in, and then take it to the infight. Where, granted he is good.
Not sure it'll work against Mayweather, and if it doesn't i don't think he has what it takes to box on par.

I think Mayweather will take this one.

Hitting Hatton the shape he is in is going to be like punching a wall, I will be shouting for Hatton because Mayweather is a fucking moron.

He is an awesome talent I appreciate that, but he carries himself like someone with a serious attitude problem. I also understand a lot of it is because he knows it generates more dollars for himself.

Hatton is just gonna be in his face all night long dropping some hurting bombs baby yeah!!!!!!

Watching Hatton Mayweather 24/7 on sky, it seems Sky are well and truly portraying Mayweather as the stereotypical fuckwit. Showing him messing around in training, playing up for the cameras, whilst it shows Hatton training like an animal.

Watch it at 7 on sky sports 1

Hatton's insane workrate should be too much for Mayweather but the longer it goes the less it favours Ricky as he will eventually tire and leave himself open.

i reckon maywether is just going to try to dance around and play with ahtton for maybe the first 5-7 round then try to have him down by 10....if hatton doesnt get him by round 7 i dont think he will at all

After seeing him do 15 rounds in training, in which he threw punch after punch after punch relentlesly, I dont think his stamina is an issue. Especially against a relatively weak puncher like Mayweather.

Just can't see the gobshite putting Hatton down. Maybe close points wise but my money is on Hatton.

Just heard on Talksport that the fight was in danger of being called off last weekend because Mayweather has been having alot of problems with his hands. It isn't the first time this problem has flared up for him either. Anyway if his hands are sore he isn't going to be as effective, you can't punch at your maximum if your hands feel like they are on fire.

Mayweather has always suffered from "brittle" hands. Its why hes never been known as a heavy puncher. His hand speed is lightening though.

Two completely different stlyes, ive followed hatton for many years and ive never seen him so prepared and determined to win, I think he will do it. Hatton has the hear, Mayweather has the boxing class. Will be close.

Well fair play to Hatton for stepping up in the weight, but he was outclassed..

Maybe twice in 10 rounds he hit Mayweather.

Imo he was far too pumped up for this fight.
