Yup, trouble is, everyone's been trying to do that to Floyd for a decade

I watched his fight against Gatti again last night. Gatti was like Ricky in terms of style (though not strength and he doesn't have the angles that Hatton has). FM destroyed him, just destroyed him. Smack smack smack in the face as he came in, then dance out (or sometimes, cleverly, rush in to shut down the distance) leaving Gatti hitting fresh air.

Gatti quit on his stool after 6 or 7 rounds. He looked as if he'd been hit with a frying pan.

I would LOVE it for Ricky to win, but he's GOT to land those body punches and it is just so damn hard to hit FM.
