nooo idea about the size of WW now days although das a good spot...maybe just coincidence of a big batch then and a smaller batch following?
i do not for one minute think pbf actually acts like that seriously i think its all a good guy/bad guy ticket selling loada bollox!
true about ricky, he does have a great personality give the guy that!
i am nervous aswell, as im one of the only brits ( i think :-\) who actaully wants PBF to win. This is becuase i made suchhh a scene to people about a year ago when they was all going ricky is better etc etc etc so its kinda too late to take all that back now!! haha
think PBF will win a decision though!

im with you m8 we are one of the only brits rooting for Floyd, i like the guy hes not an all out brawler very technical and it takes a lot of work and dedication to get that good.

Hatton speaks clearly enough for me. I spent a number of years studying in Manchester so not a bother. I have more issues with localised Liverpudlian accents. Really difficult for me to follow sometimes. Seriously.

2. The elite WW of today are so small (Mayweather, Hatton, Cotto) in the last generation they were taller and wider ( Trinidad, De La Hoya, Quartey, Forrest, Mayorga, etc) why are they getting smaller

3. Floyd looks as if he really believes the S*** that he say's, he thinks he is invincible but he is not lying he really believes that without second guessing, that alway's helps.

4. Ricky can alway's joke around when training, I like people who can loosen up under big time stress, very few people have the personality to do that.

5. I am nervous about Saturday

These aren't the only elite fighters, Secondly I think Cotto is as wide as any of the WW's past. What about Paul Williams? Cintron? Margaritto?, and lastly who said Hatton was an elite WW? He still has to prove that.

Yanks not understanding British accents has always baffled me.

Whenever I speak to Americans now I try and put on my 'telephone voice' so they understand me, even that doesn't work! My accent isn't the best though - I'm from Wolverhampton.

When I was in Vegas for the Castillo fight I was with this Glaswegian girl. We were talking to this Canadian bird who was swooning at our 'lovely' British accents - she genuinely couldn't tell the difference between my Black Country accent and this girls thick Glasgow accent! ??? ???

Seriously! ;D
