Great video of a headcam with billy graham on the body bag. jus an insight into what PBF is going to see on the 8th.
Floyd is not going to know what to do when hatton brings this much pressure. i think floyd will be so scared, he may possibly get 50 cent to pop a cap in his a$$ in round 2-4.

Come on Ricky!!!!

sasandrew... he was definitely shaken and a better fighter than Corley might have finished him... but you have to admire how he fought back. Like i said... it offers a glimmer of hope, but at the same time makes anyone who thinks FMJ doesn't have a fighter's heart think again.

Marvellous is right on the money DLH has a lot of advanatages over hatton. However I think at this stage hatton is quicker and a better body puncher. DLH fades down the stretch whilst hatton is relentless at l. welter.
But will he b at welter? There are a lot of factors in this fight which make it fascinating. Will hattons body attack affect FM? Mayb. Has hatton ever faced a defensive wizard like mayweather? No. hatton did outpoint eamonn magee who was a v good counter puncher, but was given a few scares. Its interesting how DLH and FM started their careers at s.feather but hatton has been a l.welter all his life. Im not sure if FM is the bigger man. Then again he is taller than hatton so he can carry the weight better! Interesting!
Will sum ppl stop talking crap about hatton/FM sparking each other out easily? Its getting boring part time fans who come out of the woodwork for ‘super fights’ talking crap!They are the prawn sandwich bridage of boxing….turn up at the fights, block my view then shout crap like ‘knock him out’. Please shut up! PS did ne1 see the amount of weights hatton was lifting on the leg press? Hatton is seriously strong!!

It appears that Mr. Mayweather might be just a little concerned at the imminent prospect of facing Ricky Hatton man-to-man in the ring?! It sounds as though he's becoming nervous, judging by the profuse torrent of blabber he's uttering all over the place these days! Am I alone in this opinion?

floyd is a great fighter and self puliciste but if he thinks this is the only obstacle in preventing hatton hitting him he could be surprised

Ricky just loves to fight and was born to be in the ring. If Mayweather wins it means he is a better fighter on the day. It won't be because he has psyched Ricky out.
