that is the way i see hatton beating mayweather , non stop punching against a guy who found it a struggle to work at a fast pace.

eubank just could not match collins workrate , eubank liked to dictate the pace of his matches but collins realised that by going non stop he took away eubanks skills by staying very close to him and out working him by 3/4 punches to 1

castillo vs mayweather 1 was a complete robbery , i had it 115-111 to castillo as he constantly pushed mayweather back.

castillo vs mayweather 2 was a different fight with floyd boxing better and avoiding the ropes - i scored 115-113 mayweather, hatton though will close that distance faster.

my fear for hatton is the collazo fight as collazo made him miss with his southpaw style , he also stood infront of hatton as he was much stronger....i had it 115-113 hatton.

i think mayweather to some people suprise should stand infront of hatton as he has every punch in the book and is faster....also who thought that holyfield standing infront of tyson would have worked

I'm confused, is this one of your dream match-ups or did it really happen?

Hatton's not rangey enough, Collins kept jumping on Eubank from the outside after Eubank would lead with a long, lazy double or single.. Ricky will have to stay close..

Collins did not fight with anywhere near non-stop pressure in the first fight and it was pretty close.

It's the second bout you are thinking of.
