HATTON, MAYWEATHER

Welter

comment on the article

Brilliant fight this will be
But psychologically I think
Mayweather is 1 up

I feel Mayweather doesn’t know what he is in to
Fighting Ricky Hatton

I see Mayweather winning but Ricky will come to Fight for sure
And win or lose Hatton would have won a few more fans
For stepping up

For some reason knowing both fighters I slightly favour Pretty Boy

I hope hatton pulls it off.. but in all honesty mayweather has too much skills & the fact hatton does not Possess the aggressive & clever defence that duran & tyson had plus he cuts very easy too! will go the distance but mayweather will land too many punches
will be like mayweather v castillo 2

i think maywether will stop ricky in about 8 rounds, but he will take more punishment during the early rounds than hes even known before.hopefully when the fight is over he will acknowlage just how strong and brave a fighter hatton really is.

but id love to see him dumped on his ass and taugh the meaning of the word "respect"
c'mon ricky

at the end of the day people can go around sayin hatton is going to give him the beating of his life and all this. its not a street fight, its a boxing match, a sporting event and its down to who has the most ability, passion and who's more prepared. there is no doubt that both of these fighters will be as best prepared as possible and everything will be taken into account so it then comes down to ability and strength of mind. who can keep there cool within the fight under pressure. personally i hope hatton wins, a manchester lad myself, although a red, he's a lej, total legend! watchin a programme following the lead up to the fight it reminds me a lot of rocky 4 lol mayweather in this high tech gym, showing off to the fans, throwing his money about and hatton in a dunjy old mill with the rest of the lads cos at the end fot he day thats what he is, just another lad. he says in it "thers no big names in here, no-one except the man who owns the place". biggest day in DEC this yr is definetly not xmas, its DEC 8th. come on ricky lad, do it for manny!

So much for the UK's finest... He brought nothing!

Hey, Hatton! Maybe you and your countrymen should spend less time singing and more time studying! biggrin Oh well, at least you guys got to see some sunshine out of this trip. You're welcome to come to the U.S. school of boxing anytime and learn to fight with your fists more than your forehead. erm We'll start you off in grade school and maybe you can come up the ranks to the pro level again one day.
