I actually find Ricky really dull and predictable.
Every single interview he's exactly the same'
'Well I'm just a down to earth typical lad really no different from any of the fans. I like to think I've remained humble and kept my feet on the ground really',
When interviewed about virtually anybody else.
'Well they are just really down to earth and humble really. I think it speaks volume really for their character that they still remain humble and keep their feet on the ground despite all their fame and attention. They are just really humble really.'
:blahbla: :cwm2: :cwm33:
Nice guy no doubt but slightly less interesting than Steve Davis.
Plus at the press conferences he talks like a reality show winner going on about thanking everyone for the opportunity to fight the best p4p fighter and how he never even expected to become British champ let alone multiple world champ ::**
He talks like Peter Manfredo did in the run up to the Calzaghe fight, i.e 'he's just glad to be a part of such a big spectacle and what an honour it will be to get his a** teared apart by one of the worlds best fighters.
Floyd wins this one easy.
I see what your saying, but listening to Floyd is like listening to his boy 50 Cent and alll these rapper that rap about the same sh@t over and over just rewording it. There is just no depth to him what so ever. Ricky may not be as flambouant but hes not an act all the time which to me is kind of a good thing. I do wish hed stop praising Floyd so much and maybe backhand him a couple times but thats what Floyd wants, to get under his skin. Floyd is many things though and intimidating is not one of them.

He didnt mean not ready in the terms he is to much of a challenge, if that was the case why would he be ready now? Floyd is now bigger and better at a higher weight?
Hatton wanted more of the pie, if he fought Floyd after his win against Kosta, he would of been lucky to be paid £2 million for the fight, now after some exposure over in the States he is ready and this fight could earn him £10 million. Thats why the delay.
Like Rickys dad said him and Mayweathers team have been planning this fight ever since Hatton beat Maussa, there plan was to keep the two unbeaten for the next 18 months and bring this fight together as a huge matchup of two undeafeted fighters. Sad clicks mate dont do them, but i was not having a go at you but i just dont think you understand what goes on in a boxers mind, it doesnt matter who the opponent if you have never suffered defeat do you really think you have that mentality? Come on your a winner always have been there will be only one thought in his mind and that is to beat this guy and he is 110% convinced he will.

Hatton may come across boring at times but Floyd is the most repetitive fighter around. At least Hatton is being himself,one minute Floyd is money making Mayweather and is going to go toe to toe with everyone,then in the 24/7, he starts becoming all emotional and attempts to be humble. He seems to have erratic moods,like a teenger going through puberty.
Yeah I agree Floyd is just as predictable. My "predictable" commment was aimed at the entire human race. ;)

But Floyd is funny though, at least he is to me. Give Ricky a 10 minute slot and we know he'll talk about his humble roots, how grateful he is for the opportunites, how he's succeeded beyond his wildest dreams and what a privilage it is to be where he is. Then the interviewer will respond with the inevitable lovey dovey stuff about that's why the fans love him so much and Ricky will once again repeat how humble he is and then he'll go onto to say how humble whatever superstar friend he happens to be hanging with that weekend is.
You've seen one Ricky Hatton interview you've seen them all, nice guy but flatline response as far as watching him in interviews goes.
Floyd and his team on the other hand ARE entertaining,
Whether he's trash talking with 50 cent whilst having haircut, stealing his opponents personal belongings, dancing in the gym with his trainers or staring down chickens at press conferences his behaviour commands your attention, at least it does mine.
When you factor in his crazy hillybilly Uncle Roger and Predator faced estranged and pshyco daddy Floyd senior and you've got a recipe for an entertaining show.
I think these 24/7 shows and appearances on Dancing with the Stars could finally get Floyd the media attention his talent has always deserved.
So at least half of those who watch him end up screaming at their screens and hoping he gets knocked out, but that's the whole idea. It's all about pantomime and selling tickets at the end of the day and Floyd finally seems to have realised that.
I'd rather watch Floyd onscreen any day of the week.
Contrast his press conference with Calzaghe Kessler which went almost unnoticed last week because Kessler and Joe are just nice ordinary people. Guys like Floyd, James Toney and Zab Judah are what boxing needs to keep things interesting.
Re: Floyd-Ricky 24/7 series!
There's too much Love surrounding Hatton (something Mayweather simply hasn't got) All the advantages are with Ricky in the build up and he's in his element slowly grinding Floyds mind to one of self doubt 8)
Mayweather has never met anyone of Rickys Steel before ;)

Ricky won't be getting in Floyds head at all. He sounds like a reality show Mafrendo-esque loser in the press conferences just grateful for the chance to fight the best.
He's got no chance at beating Floyd, none whatsoever. ;)
