Just was watching 24/7 and

1.When Ricky was talking I could not understand what he was saying, the difference in accents is amazing, I had to really focus on what he was saying to understand him, I wonder if the Brits had the same trouble understanding Floyd

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 shit 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

haha no i understand Floyd perfectly tbh. Obviously same for ricky hatton being a brit!
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!

Good point Eagle but niether of the three are above PBF, Ricky, and Miguel. Besides Margarito and Cintron are not monsters but you do have a good point with Williams

American accents are the easiest thing in the world to understand. Manchester accents are nowhere near the most difficult to understand in the UK!!!

Haha, yeah Americans in general have that problem. Over here in England it's crazy. The accents here change so much over the country and in comparisson to the size of the US ans the number of accents you have over there... It just dosent make sense :D

I think it was all those invasions thats done it :-\ ;D

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

Margarito, Clottey, Cintron and Collazo are all either coming down from stupid weights or weigh the same as middleweights, if not more come fight night. Plus AM, JC & KC are all 5ft 10+

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.

He's just a very good lair ;)

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.

Yeah. Ricky is defo a one of a kind at this level

5. I am nervous about Saturday
ME TOO!!!

whyaye ???

we get a lot of US tv plus UK accents change along every street so we're used to it.

Haha, yeah TV has a lot to do with it.

I mean. We Brits can do a good American accent. We hear it all the time.
But you poor shelterd Americans?! Bloody hell!

Oh your fella, Depp is kinda impressive :D. And that Rene Zeleweger bird too :)

1.When Ricky was talking I could not understand what he was saying, the difference in accents is amazing, I had to really focus on what he was saying to understand him, I wonder if the Brits had the same trouble understanding Floyd
I understand Floyd just fine, it's Roger i have the problem with!!!

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
I believe it has to do with alterations in training methods. Todays fighter are more muscular believ it or not, in some cases due to the use of weights etc.

3. Floyd looks as if he really believes the shit 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.
Floyd...shit? I vote Yes.
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.
Yeah, it's a cool trait about Ricky, although he's doing way less of it these days!
5. I am nervous about Saturday

I'm nervous too

I love it when Americans have to subtitle Northan English speakers on TV ;D ;D ;D

They had to subtitle Ricky?!!!!

LMAO!

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.

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
