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.
