I'm going with my heart over my mind and calling Ricky. He has been battered against superior boxers in the fast, with his ability to walk through punches to land the body hooks. A one second lapse in Floyd's defense against an oncoming Hatton will lead to a 'Mexican Hook' to the ribs, taking Floyd's wind out, with an 8th or 9th round KO.

Ricky will come forward all night, and with well over 50% of the crowd being Brits or Americans of British blood, we'll here lots of "Hatton Wonderland", as well as "God Save The Queen" when Michael Buffer announces "And...The Newwwwwwwww, Welterweight Champion of the Wooooooorld"

I don't think Floyd will KO Ricky. He might beat him like a drum, but Hatton has fought through swelling and pounding to win in the past.

Floyd scored a TKO against an old, tired Arturo Gatti. Floyd hasn't KO'd a high class fighter since 2001, when he got both Jesus Chavez and Chico Corrales.

Hatton too a beating for the ages against Kostya Tszyu, who was a top 10 Pound for Pound fighter, and still kept the pressure on, to the point where Tszyu didn't answer the bell for round 12.

Floyd will fight Ricky alot like he did Oscar, with a tight jab, and great footspeed and counters. I'm just figuring Hatton will walk through and land the big hook to the body, somewhere along the line

Floyd on cuts or unanimous decision.

He doesn't have the power to ko Ricky, and Hatton's ability to apply pressure and fight dirty if need be will bother Mayweather for a little while. But Floyd is incredibly adaptive, and eventually will start to time his man.

Mayweather will probaly come out unscathed. Id like to see Hatton get him but I dont think he will be able to. I do expect at least 10 rounds if not all 12

Hatton is just brutal and with his power, he's got a chance, but he has to stay on Floyd. Pour the pressure on and never let up. If he doesnt Floyd wins an easy decision. No way Floyd ever comes close to a KO.

Ricky has a problem with facial swelling, but he can walk through some powerful punches. It's been a long time since Floyd threw a good planted power shot, and his pitter patter, accurate as it may be, shouldn't slow Ricky down at all.

Basically, the duck and run and counter style wins rounds, but not against a guy who is focused on taking the offensive. Floyd's unwillingness to engage frustrated Judah after 5 rounds or so, but it won't fluster Ricky. For better or worse, Ricky is going to keep bringing the fight forward to the center of the ring.
