Mayweather v. Hatton (9/12/07)

[Mentoch]

Hatton- 2.1/1

Mayweather- 4/7

While i've been cleaning up on the big fall fights this if a fight i am really on the fence on.

I'm preatty sure this fight will be dull as mollasses. Mayweather will stay away, and when Hatton gets close he'll clinch. However i really believe that Hatton's profeciency at fighting inside will give Mayweather fits.

The major problem i have with betting on Hatton, is that the fight is taking place at welterweight. Hatton has only 1 previous fight at 147 (a close unanimous decision vs. Luis Collazo), and I'm not sure how his power translates to the higher weight class, and i believe that Hatton has to stop Mayweather to beat him. With Mayweather's style he will just pile up too many points for Hatton's more powerful shots to have as big an effect on the judges.

Any Thoughts>?
