Oscar De La Hoya has been giving tips to Ricky Hatton on how to beat his December 8 opponent, Floyd Mayweather Jr. De La Hoya who earlier this year lost a split decision to Mayweather Jr. feels Hatton can succeed where he failed.

Quoted by SportingLife.com, De La Hoya stated: "A lot of people are backing Floyd but a lot of people are going to lose money."

De La Hoya went on to add: "Ricky relies on speed and power while bringing intelligent pressure to the ring.

"Floyd relies solely on speed. That difference will make itself known when they fight.

De La Hoya feels Hatton's intelligent pressure will be key:

"The difference with any fighter that Floyd has faced is that Hatton brings intelligent pressure and I think that's key. He not only comes forward and puts more pressure on you than I did, but he does it in a very intelligent way."
