And I find Ricky every bit as repetitive and irritating as Floyd. He's always harping on about how Floyd is flashing his bling and boasting about his crib and his bank balance but Hatton is just the same in the other direction.

All we hear about from him and his trainer is how humble he is, how the fans love him and how he's a man of the people

But what really stops me from being excited about this at all is that I feel the fight is going to be a complete blowout.

Hatton is in way over his head and any attempts to hype the fight and make it sound exciting just fall on deaf ears as far as I'm concerned.

Floyd will beat Ricky in a comfortable 12 round decision without breaking a sweat.

Hatton is better than Baldomir I'll give him that but what he makes up for in pressure and intensity he loses in size. If he couldn't impose himself on Luis Collazo or Juan Urango he ain't going to do shit to Floyd.
Floyd is going to stay out of range and potshot Ricky's head off for twelve rounds. But I just can't bring myself to pick him to win.

EDIT : Forgot to say I agree with you re. Hatton's image. It's as carefully contructed as Floyd's.
