You know in my heart, Hatton has his hands up after 12 rounds. I like Rick, he is a top bloke, he beat my man Kostya and I respect him for his conduct outside the ring. May the best man win is what I say. Whatever will be, will be, I suppose. If Rick has the fire he had for the Kostya fight it will be a fucking fight alright. Really enjoyed the thread though so many clashes of opinion. I might join in tomorrow ;D
ICE, your balls have grown fella what the hells gone on?
HAHA lets keep it going to make it the greates thread ever. No doubt a few Hatton Nut Huggers will add their point later. Im glad u were on my side tho pal, we really stuck it to SLK123 and others.Quote:

It just shows what a twat he actually is, and if he ever grew up and joined his peers, he could be remembered as a great man as well as a great boxer...
Who the hell wants to be remembered as a w@nker that could throw punches? If his boxing skills didn't prove otherwise, i'd swear he had some sort of mental handicap..
Does this look like a man who's affected by Floyds smack talk? ;D
Still Betcha itl be an extra ultra aggresive start by Hatton on December 8th.
Is it Just me or is Hatton looking Fat faced in all these recent pictures??
He is indeed, and at the Matthew Macklin fight in Dublin last month he had a bit of weight on and his forearms looked flabby. But he hasn't actually put on that much weight and even more importantly his face shows no sign of puffines due to alcohol or heavy eating.
I've been thinking that same thing every time i've seen him,,, in the past 2 years. He just has that sort of big round head... He eats a huge oily english bacon, eggs, sausages, mushroom breakfast on the morning of all his fights.. Maybe he's just being having a few more of those lately.Quote:

Although I also think it'll be completely one sided if a) Hatton comes charging in from the start b) Floyd manages to land a few very good solid sharp jabs, or even a good right as Ricky comes in c) Hatton then has that hint of hesitation for the rest of the fight coming inside (read: not so fearless anymore) d) Floyd goes on to do what he does best for 9 out of 12 rounds. UD Finish.
Hatton will still attack even if the above happens, but he'll just lose that small edge that he's going to need to smother Floyd, which I think is his main chance of winning
You can see in Ricky's fight with Macgee (i think that's right), Macgee has his back on the ropes for most of the fight, but he finds a way to stop Ricky coming in as he pleases, and it really gives Ricky a lot of trouble.... And Macgee is certainly no Floyd.
If Ricky's plan of smothering Floyd doesn't come off, I hope he has another surprise up his sleave. I'm sure Floyd is really only going to be expecting the charging bull that is Ricky Hatton...
Another factor to remember is that Mayweather superb defense is based upon lateral movement and hand movement rather than foot work. (Although i acknowledge the pretty boy has exceptional footwork too) However his primary defensive manoeuvers are the movements from the waist, his "Mayweather shell," and pivoting a spin to the right before moving away. This sees Mayweather often being located on the ropes, usually dazzling us with his movement and mesmerising blocking and parrying. However, on the ropes Ricky will be for one area body and chest, and the pretty boys style will actually allow hatton to set himself. Granted Mayweather will adapt, but the initial point is that with the correct volume and approach, Hatton can land.
He reckons he piles the weight on easily. He was on a womens talk show 2 weeks after the Castillo fight and he said he had already gained 33 lbs since the fight.Quote:
