I don't think that this is a "fight of the decade", it'll be a good fight, but not of that status.
I also believe that Floyd will win it by a KO.

Kinda unrelated but I was very dissapointed in wasting my money on the Manny Pacquiao and Morales fight. I thought it would be the fight of the year but Pacquiao dominated, the guy is a beast I love watching him fight:

it is too early to make an accurate prediction.. You cant call this fight yet. There is the huge variable of Floyd at 154. What will his body look like. His power is nothing special at 47, so will he be able to keep DLH off him? If he doesnt put on a ton of muscle this could be a Paulie Malignaggi- Cotto kind of fight. PBF may be fast, but you can only dodge for so long. If DLH can keep coming forwrd, it may be lights out for floyd, after all corley did rock him. Also, will DLH train his ass off? He did for the Mayorga fight, but acknowledged that he wouldnt have if mayorga didnt talk so much. Something tells me PBF wont have a problem talking, but we dont know for sure yet. But, I do know that if Oscar doesnt train like a madman he wont have the cardio to beat Floyd.
That said, right now I lean toward PBF for the shear fact that his cardio is beastly and he never slacks so putting on the weight the right way should not be a problem.

I hope you mean TKO Max. Can you honestly see PBF knocking DLH cold to the point where he cant get up before 10? Floyd doesn't have that power at 47 and DLH's chin isnt bad at all.

I predict a decision and then decision controversy. And then a rematch asap to drain another amount of cash from everyone.

Oh, I guarantee a close fight leads to a rematch. Especially if DLH loses a close one.

Didn't Hatton have to go up a weight to fight Collazo though? He is best at the weight at which he fought Tszyu, no-one has a body-shot like Hatton's at that weight and no-one can match him for pure intensity and work-rate. I just wish he wouldn't let his weight balloon in between fights like he does.

He went up to 47 because he said he felt he would fight better there. Regardless, the only guy he has beat was an old Tszyu. He made a career of beating up average fighters in the UK (cant say I blame him) and has never proven himself imo. Saying he is better than Floyd is nuts. Heck, it would be tough arguing he is better than cotto (whose body shots are just as good). His work rate is astounding, but he did gas in the Collazo so maybe he is slowing down from a career of volume punching.

The cuts he gets around his eyes have never helped him either, but if Hatton got to face Mayweather over here in the MEN arena I still say he would give Mayweather a run for his money.

Perhaps in England, but I really couldn't see him winning a decision unless the judges were extremely partial to Hatton. He would a lucky punch imo.

I don't think there is any way in which Hatton could win a fight against Mayweather in America. It just wouldn't happen, in Manchester though he seems to feed off the crowd and pull it out of the bag. Our next big thing on the boxing scene is Amir Khan. If he progresses the way he should we will have a third top talent to go with Calzaghe and Hatton.

Well a ref could stop that fight without DLH going down. PBF could barrage him with punches to the point where a ref won't have a choice but to end it.
BTW, Floyd's power is good.

Well, it is underrated at 47. But at 154 i have a hard time seeing Floyd as a hard puncher.

Amir Khan is awesome. I love watching him fight and think he will be awesome. I just hope he comes to America and fight legit guys....
Also, regarding Calzaghe. What the hell is he doing not fighting Kessler. That is the fight boxing needs, not Manfredo. :evil:
