ianculbertson 0 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Just watching Sky Sports lead up to this fight. Mayweather is from here in Grand Rapids. He's very good. But he's also way too arrogant for my taste. Does anyone think that Hatton has a chance? I'd love to see Mayweather go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I'm very unsure either way to be honest. Would love Hatton to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,989 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Can't wait to see the fight. I think Hatton has a really good chance and I hope he'll do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABearacus 4 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think that Mayweather is a jackass, but unfortunately he is also one of the most talented boxers of all time in terms of talent. Mayweather is a big time favourite in this one. The only chance Hatton has is if he tries to rough him up, but Mayweather is perhaps too fast and too skilled for it too affect him, but...i'd love to see the grin knocked off of his face Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie! 8 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hopefully Hatton can win. Its gonna have to be his greatest performance yet, because I don't think hes fought anyone as talented as mayweather before. Got all the makings of a classic match!! Lets hope it lives up to all the hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope it lives up to all the hype. i've never seen mayweather in a classic fight, he's either been far too fast (check his destruction of Arturo 'Thunder' Gatti) or too talented at boxing (against de la hoya, or baldomir, or judah) to get caught up in a war Then again, when Hatton fought and defeated Kostya Tszyu he was the rank outsider and practically retired Tszyu with his pressure. I think Pretty Boy Floyd will win it on a decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,989 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 A lot of the Boxing greats are tipping Hatton for the win. "Sugar" Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Oscar De La Hoya - promoter for the fight - , Lloyd Honeyghan is offering him advice and Junior Witter is cheering him on.

So, Mayweather respected as a boxer but not as a person? Yeah, looks like it. Great boxer but a complete c*nt. Its not just that though, Hatton's style of pressuring, bullying and body shots against Mayweather's defending and not getting hit is going to be great and some people (including me) can see Hatton beating him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianculbertson 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 my concern is that mayweather has a combination of speed and skill that has been overwhelming to just about everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is it this fight that Hatton will move up a weight? Or is that going to be after this fight? Either way I think he can take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bauba30 1 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 im pissed, Love boxing and love hatton and been waiting for this fight for ages. Then about a month ago the Mrs tells me she has booked us a holiday to Disney is Florida for our anniversary. I ask her what dates and she says our final night is Dec 8th! The Stupid Slag! How many times did I tell her about this fight. Now according to Disney, none of their establishments will be showing the fight My last hope will be to pass the concierge some of the folding stuff so he can find a spot in Orlando itself. URGH!

evilcockney 4 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Its the wrong fight at welter weight Mayweather will be to slick and strong, if it goes past 5-6 rounds cant see Mayweather loseing. I hope im wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABearacus 4 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Its the wrong fight at welter weight Mayweather will be to slick and strong, if it goes past 5-6 rounds cant see Mayweather loseing. I hope im wrong. i dont think Mayweather will be too strong/big hatton had problems against Collazo when he went up to 147lb last time, but that was cos he had less time to prepare, and more importantly, collazo was a big guy for welterweight who would have been significantly more than 147 at the time of the fight this time ricky has been preparing for 147 for a long time, and once again importantly, Mayweather stays within 3 or 4 pounds of the welterweight limit when he is not in preperation for the fight (compared to hatton who pies his way up the pounds = this time he wont have too lose as much weight and can focus on his condition more) but i agree that Mayweather is incredibly slick, as a pure boxer he is untouchable. Still a total dick though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
