You're right, I don't know much. But I know Hatton got cained by Mayweather and this De Le Hoya didn't

Yeah but Mayweather and Oscar are different fighters. Still i would expect Hatton to get beat but i'd be very surprised if he got ko'd. Oscar does hit hard enough to hurt Hatton but i don't think he will in this particular fight. He has a lot of interest in Hatton from a promotional point of view and Hatton's stock would plummet if he was to get ko'd again....which would be a bad thing since Oscar is basically Hatton's promoter. Oscar wants to go out on a high against a popular opponent he can beat. Hatton fits the bill perfectly.

Conspiracy theories aside....If the fight is at 147, Hatton actually has a chance. Oscar struggles like hell to get down to 147 (that's why his last fight was at catch weight) so who knows what Oscar's punch resistance will be like if he is drained. He also has questionable stamina which could be his downfall going into a fight where is weight drained.

I'd go for Oscar to win on points but the lower the weight....the higher chance Hatton would have.
