O.T.B.C 0 Posted December 6, 2007 I am preying for a Hatton win but like Bly said, I think he will fail, if he is to win, then he will have to knock him out in 4 rounds max, any further or even the distance, I think that trashcan Money grabber will win.

kick it off 1,927 Posted December 6, 2007 am i the only one supporting floyd? i know mayweather is brash and arrogant, but im sure if you''d made $200million after growing up in the projects and seeing your mother on drugs and your dad shot, then you would be slightly pleased with yourself.Like him or not, you cannot deny he is one of the greatest pound for pound fighters in this generation. To rise up from the streets, a life that could so easily followed in his jailed father, or junkie mother''s footsteps (source - Mayweather interview Skysports, Daily mirror etc) and to turn yourself into a world champion boxer in FIVE different weight classes...that is something pretty spectacular.Ricky Hatton has not got what it takes, mentally or physically. Mayweather is stronger, technically better, with a greater reach and importantly, he is calm. we have all seen the benefits of competing with a relaxed attitude recently a little closer to home i think?!Hatton however, has the chance to make himself a hero. He will never have the success Mayweather has but could come close to the riches, as the rumoured prize for the winner of this bout is a superfight with Oscar De La Hoya. DLH may be past it now but it would certainly be the biggest payday Hatton has ever recieved.Good luck Ricky, I think you''ll need it, but im rooting for the American Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m sorry but i have much more respect for Mayweather, he is an excellent competitor in his chosen profession anyone anyone who can make themselves into a multi-millionaire after the start he had in life deserves it. Mayweather is intelligent and articulate, sorry to say it but i just can''t see one iota of intelligence emanating from Hatton.Which is why I think he will lose on Saturday. Mayweather is an intelligent man and an intelligent fighter, I''m sure Mr Hatton, who keeps such calibre of friends as Wayne Rooney, will succumb to Mayweather and be outfought mentally as well as physically.Hatton is more of a self-absorbed showman than Mayweather. Many will take issue with this statement I''m sure, but Floyd spent his thanksgiving feeding 600 poor families, I haven''t seen this sort of charity from the seemingly god-like Hatton who can do no wrong.Mayweather may talk trash, but in case you hadn''t noticed, another competitor in THAT fight on Sun has also started trash talking. he goes by the name of Ricky Hatton.

Desi Rascall 0 Posted December 6, 2007 I think mayweather is there for the Taking, Take a look at the de la hoya fight, dela hoya unloaded the cleaner shots,maywethers guard does look shaky and a big hitter like Ricky could well cause an upset.I think ricky will up the workrate in comparison to dela hoya,keep him under pressure and maywether will collapse like a pack of cards.Ease off the pressure and maywether will pick up a lot of soft points like he did when dela hoya took his foot off the gas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55czSCHTQfU&feature=relatedCome on Ricky,a performance like this will do nicelyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XX695yh9FU&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newyorkcanary 14 Posted December 7, 2007 No surprise here, but I think Floyd will win a unanimous decision. I think Ricky takes this "I''m just a regular guy" schtick a little too far. Do they show Mayweather/Hatton 24/7 in the UK? Its a behind the scenes of the 2 fighter''s camps, and while Hatton is a real likeable guy, he just comes on too strong--- like he''s from a Guy Ritchie movie. Its going to be a superb fight, though. I just think Floyd is just too tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a behind the scenes of the 2 fighter''s camps, [/quote]Yeah they do show the Mayweather/Hatton 24/7 over here and i have got to say that when i''m watchin it one minute i''m thinking Hatton wil win the next Mayweather then Hatton then Mayweather. Its such a close fight that it is hard to predict. Having said that i do believe that Hatton will win, Mayweather is a broken man with dodgy hands, elbow and back. Watching him train is impressive because of his speed but he never seems to hit the bag with any power unlike Hatton.Hatton is going over in typically British Bulldog style and he will win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
