[Tam Seddon]

39 votes for PBF, 38 for Hatton. Closer than I would have thought.

I'll go with Floyd by decision like I usually do. I don't see a stoppage, people repeatedly pick Floyd by stoppage but he just hasn't been getting them lately.

Floyd's walking into the ring with Wayne Newton That's badass.

Two other guys walking in with him, I think from that bullshit Dancing show, can't remember who they were.

Come Saturday night, I'll be sending my violent energies through the television set to my man Ricky. Ricky, you gonna have to take a few, quite a few, to get the job done, but i know you can do it. Cut that ring off and bang to the body. Forget about Floyd's head the first 8 rounds, just bang bang bang, to the liver, to the guts, to the arms and elbows, and never stop. Good things are gonna happen in rounds 9-12.

GO RICKY!!

I have a feeling all those mystical violent energy beams you're planning on bestowing Ricky are going to reflect right off him onto Floyd. The only thing that's going to happen good in rounds 9-12 is the security will finally be able to separate the crowd so the paramedics can get the i.v. into Ricky and he can get to the hospital pronto!! Go Ricky!!!

I liked that. Ricky just seems ready, for better or worse, and that's all you could ask. That pushing of Floyd at the staredown, I liked it. Floyd been saying Ricky only gets nasty behind a cmera, and Ricky showing maybe not so. Floyd actually was surprisingly respectful I thought, no Fatton jokes and all that. I like it; I can't F#CKING wait till Saturday; believe it!! I will be a nervous wreck all day Saturday, hell I have the tinglies right now in my stomach. F#ck it, let's get this sh#t rolling. No matter who you are rooting for, you can't say you aren't looking forward to this fight and the drama that goes with it. All these arguments on this board? What for, this is the thing we almost live for?? Time standing still for a couple more days

Look after all the smack I've said about this fight, Ricky better win because otherwise I'm hung out to dry.

Ricky does believe. He really does. He's said this for years now. I honestly think he can. He has to. If for no other reason to the shocking name change TYSONBRUNO wants to give me.

I thought me and you had a name change bet, along with a sig bet as well? Anyways, you're right, he better believe in himself, as when it comes time to get in the ring no one else can do it for him.

We still have our bet dude. If Mayweather wins, I honour my bet for the whole of December with you, and then the whole of January with TysonBruno.

This is one of the FEW fights where I don't care much about the hype as much. (Sounds like a re-run)

Just can't wait to see Hatton under the lights on Saturday.

[cockey cockney]

This fight must be what fans felt in the run up to the Rumble in the jungle, De la Hoya Trinida and Hagler/Leonard,

Honestly it may not be as relevant to some, but it's that big for me as a Hatton fan.
Ricky may get blown out in the first round and humiliated on the night, he may lose or he may win, but this feeling of excitement he and Floyd have given me is a new expierience for me.

I'm more psyched for this than the Tszyu fight.

yeahhh spot on buddy! im buzing for this one! by far the most excited i been for any fight by milesssss!!

If you'd like a preview of that...just stare directly into the sun for atleast 20 minutes or so...you'll be blind as a bat...much like I expect the majority of us to be after the glare off of "Lilly-White" burns us for 12 rounds on Saturday night.

Not me buddy boy; I'm prepared for it already...................

I initially thought Hatton would make it a tougher fight than most thought but Floyd would win. However,I thought Hatton was trying to convince himself by saying I'm still myself,witty etc. I also got that impression in 24-7,when they are in the car with him and he says I'm going to win this,I know I am. It's as if he is trying to convince himself.

Floyd's last three opponents were naturally bigger men with more power than him, so he was extra cautious, just getting the feeling this past week that Floyd might try to make a statement early and take some of the belief away from Hatton. It's getting reallu close now

Hatton's naturally bigger than Floyd too.
Floyd will enter the ring at 147.
Hatton at 152.

I agree with that, but the difference won't be close to the extent Baldomir and ODLH had over him. In the last press conference, Ricky didn't look half as big without his fat suit on. For me it all depends how Hatton has put on the extra pounds, he needs to have done it much more effectively than against Collazo, I'm sure he has, but still might not be enough.
Ricky's best attribute at light welter was his strength and stamina at the weight, he was able to impose his will, when he couldn't he struggled (Urango IMO) but had enough skill to overcome his stronger opponents. His punches must have a profound effect on Mayweahter because he won't outbox him.

Well although I find myself dissing my fav fighter I have to say that the poor performances against Maussa, Collazo and Urnago were all a direct resultant of Rick's irresponsability between fights. For the Collazo fight (out of complacency) he got himself DOWN to 147, rather than doxn to 140 and building himself to 147 as he should have.
For the MAUSSA FIGHT, HE LET THE INSULTS GET TO HIM AND ABANDONED GAMEPLAN AND AGAIN HIS DRINKING AFFLICTED HIM.
aND IN THE uRANGO FIGHT FEEL IT WAS AGAIN HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM KICKING UP AS A RESULT OF ABUSING IT ON HIS TIME OFF.

hOWEVER, i DO FEEL THE uRNAGO FIGHT WAS THE WAKE UP HE NEEDED AS HE FOUND HIMSELF IN WITH A YOUNG FIGHTER WITHOUT HIS TRADEMARK STAMINA AND HE WAS FORCED TO STRUGGLE THROUGH. As i said this was a wake up call and he will have learned from mistakes.




damn capslock button is a nuisnace on this computer!!!!!!1

I expect RH to be in much better shape than he was in the three fights you mention, but still don't think it'll be enough. He'll make it a good fight IMO and won't get humiliated as some guys think, but IMO he won't be able to land often enough and hard enough to wear Floyd down.
