I'd love to watch it, though I don't know if I'll be able to see it live 
I kinda hope Hatton will rock Mayweather's face for about 6 rounds, then finish him off.

I'm pretty excited about this fight.
I just saw Ricky Hatton on the telly the other day, and he looked dangerous as fuck. I would be willing to bet money that he will beat Mayweather.

I want to see Mayweather bloodied and taken the distance but whin a split (or vice versa) so that there will have to be a re-match (which would probably lead to #)
There is SO little to be excited about when it comes to boxing, it makes me sad.:(

I think it's going to be a boring fight. Mayweather is not going to want to get hit, so he's going to be running around the ring.

I hate to agree with gema, but that is the way Mayweather does it. And I can't blame him. It is boxing and not brawling. That said,I think Hatton is going to push the action and push it hard. And if he can keep away from getting knocked out on a counter punch (seems like he has a pretty good chin AND a TON of determination) than maybe by the 6th round Floyd will have to open up and go at it. This fight has a chance to be an epic, or a snoozer, I can't see it being any other way. But Hatton will have to get ahead on the cards early and push Mayweather's corner into plan B for that to happen because I agree with you, he's not going to stand in front of a devastating puncher like Hatton.
And just to throw in, I wouldn't be surprised with all the covering that Mayweather will have to do to cover his body if his hands don't get at least tenderized or maybe hurt, and that could change everything.

I love ricky hatton, he is my boy, but I'm afraid to say he doesn't stand a chance against Floyd.
Hatton is going to push the action and that is EXACTLY what Mayweather wants him to do. Mayweather is faster and he will counter punch the shit out Hatton and fuck his face up pretty good.
Hatton's only chance is if Mayweather breaks his hand again in the fight. Then Hatton might win on points.
Mayweather probably won't be able to put hatton down, because lets face it, thats pretty much impossible to do. Hatton is a tough mother fucker and will never give up. He will be picked apart the entire time.
I predict Hatton will win the first 2 rounds and Mayweather will dominate the rest of the fight.
De La Hoya had a better shot at pulling off a win against the insanely skilled Mayweather.
Watch for Mayweather to block shots with his elbows and shoulders. You can't get a clean shot on Mayweather. His defense is probably the strongest out there next to Winky Wright.

there used to be a youtube HL on mayweather's and winky's boxing defense. Pretty incredibly clips to watch.
I like watching Floyd, despite his fights being boring, they're incredibly tactical.

I would like to see that!
The problem is most people don't really understand whats going on in a boxing match. Yes the idea is to knock the other guy out ultimately, but there is much more to it than that. Boxing is an intense chess match and suddle skills, like defense make the difference in a win and a loss.
I don't think Flyods fights are boring at all. Why? Because I'm an ex boxer and I marvel at his amazing skills. Watching him turn punches and use his elbows and shoulders to block shots and then watching his insane speed and unbelievable counter punching skills always blow my mind. I love to watch him fight, and his new persona as a "bad boy" is just to sale tickets. He has gone with out a big pay day for a long time and this new attitude he has cooked up is all for show and it works. People are now tuning in, in hopes of seeing him lose, instead of watching the amazing tactical show that is unfolding before their eyes.
I wish more people understood boxing and realize what skill it actually takes to succeed in the sport. It would be nice to have boxing make a come back. Unfortunately todays youth is too ignorant and uneducated in the manner of boxing. MMA is all the craze, because its simple and to the point.
Boxing 4 lyfe bitches.

Oh and also, Hatton supporters.. know this.. if you bring the fight to Mayweather in the middle of the ring then you stand no fucking chance in hell. Unfortunately, this is exactly what Hatton will try and do. He is a dead man walking.

Hatton's got the durability that alot of other hard-headed inside-fighters lack.
He's not going to overwhelm Floyd's speed or defense, but he can still make Floyd work.
If Hatton can score pts early, i think he'll be able to possibly deal with floyd's jabs to a win.
But of course I still favor Floyd in this fight....just sayin'.

The other major factor is politics. Big fights are relatively hard to come by in boxing. Contrast this to something like the UFC. In the UFC, the top fighters are in the ring at least twice a year, and many fight three times. When this is the case for all the fighters, you constantly produce, high quality fights. When was the last time a high-profile boxer fought three times in a year?
You are right about the general public not being able to pick up on the technical details. Ufortunately, you have to look at it from the "average" fans perspective. Look at De la Hoya-Mayweather and what did the average fan see? Mayweather backing up for 12 rounds while Oscar pressed the pace.
