Ricky Hatton is brimming with confidence(good read)

“But I know all these people that are picking Floyd, there's going to be a few apologies coming my way, and I'm sure every opponent has said the same at Floyd's face, but I just can't wait to go out there and say, well I'm going to, you know, what I'm going to do. I just can't wait. As I said earlier, in my eyes this fight is already even over. I think Floyd is going to get the shock of his life. I think he has taken me lightly. I think he just thinks the obvious, I'm a strong kid, high work rate, loads of punches, body punches, and I’ve fought 500 of them. Well, I think he's going to get a shock.”



Wether you're a fan or not,how can you NOT like this guy. Hatton is a great fighter,awesome attitude and REALLY REALLY believes in himself. I mean I doubt, Sharmba,Baldozar,Gatti even believed they could win. Hatton 100% absolutely does. Great attitude, and I honestly think he's going to give Mayweather more problems than most.

Everyone seems to think it's going to be some sort of whitewash including experts: Kevin Iole from Yahoosports said “…Hatton has zero chance,” wrote Iole. “I've said this again, Mayweather will win at least 12 rounds in this fight. And yeah, I said at least.”

I really want the Hitman to do well. Although I'm a huge fan of Mayweather's skills,he needs a humbling experience. I hope Ricky can be the man to do it!

Is it cool to post from Max Boxing? I have another thread with the same topic but i didn post a link.

I just put the link there because thats where I got the paragraph from,to just show it was not my own writing.

Cool Gamo.
Ricky actaually sounds more confident every day. And i have to say he looks in good shape.

I dunno why but i really dislike this Kevin Kevin A-hole fella :-\

I'm not a big fan of Kevin Iole,Dan Rafael and a few of these other so called "experts" Doug Fischer is the man though"

This will be floyds hardest night of fighting.

At the beginning i was nervous with anticipation as Ricky didn seem at all sure of himself, but now he seems certain of victory. I can see myself betting it all on this!

If there is anything i like better than hattons determination in the ring, is his great personality outside the ring. Seems like a great guy, i hope he puts the hurt on mayweather

I think he'll make it a great fight for 6 to 8 rounds before Floyd takes control and get's the wide UD. Sory Hatton fans but I don't see him winning this one.

Thanks Gamo, cool stuff. I love Ricky and wish I wasn't always picking him to lose. I'm a huge Hatton fan and haven't picked him to win a fight for a long time; go figure :-\ Nothing this year I'd rather see than Ricky beating the seams right off Floyd; I just don't see it. But he may surprise alot of us, maybe ;) Biggest upset ever IMO, or damn near the biggest if he did.

It will be a difficult fight for Ricky. BUT, i have to say i like his calm confidence. I think, so far, he is winning the mental war. Floyd tries to verbally intimidate and ridicule his opponents...but Hatton is at ease and actually is wittier than Mayweather. If Floyd takes this fight too lightly...anything can happen

Yeah Ricky does seem a calm one for sure. I can't wait for the 24/7 series and hope they have subtitles as I can't understand Rick 1/2 the time ;D

Hatton drags May(will)Wither Into the Trenches and cracks short-Ribs......
Confidence is Hatton!
Thanks for the Read Gamo's 8)

Sounds like Hatton is trying very hard to convince himself he can win. To bad he's failing at it. Hatton is in over his head. And he knows it in his heart. Mayweather by late stoppage after he cuts Hatton to bits
