Hatten/Tzu was a fun fight to watch, and I think he's another entertaining fighter - but I wouldn't give him much of a chance against Mayweather.
there's no doubt mayweather is an amazing fighter but i wouldn't write off hatton's chances. mayweather would be favourite by a long way, but so was tzyu (spelling?) when he fought him.

i don't think hatton would stand off and try and box mayweather like gatti did which was suicidal, gatti hardly landed a punch. hatton will get in close and give him plenty of rib crunching body shots, which may take him out of his stride a bit. should be an excellent fight though whoever wins.

hatton to win by tko round 10 ;)
