Mayweather Hatton faceoff!!

[Wayne]

Is Floyd about to use some tongue here?

I thought the same thing at the Detroit leg of the Mayweather-De La Hoya press conference. The way PBF overly moves his lips when he speaks it really looks like he's going to plop one right on the guy. And I must say, Mayweather has some of the nicest teeth I have EVER seen. I saw them up close when he was just speaking to people and they are very straight and extremely white. He probably has caps, but I don't know.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Nah if he had caps theyd be fallin out every so often, he jus got some natural bling.

You can see in Ricky's fight with Macgee (i think that's right), Macgee has his back on the ropes for most of the fight, but he finds a way to stop Ricky coming in as he pleases, and it really gives Ricky a lot of trouble.... And Macgee is certainly no Floyd.

He got hurt real bad against Magee .Magee was on the ropes looking for the same shot he had Hatton on the floor with but Hatton didnt rush in after that he just boxed Magee .He never had any trouble after round 3 because Magee was to predictable with his back on the ropes looking for the 1 big shot.

[smashup]

Does this look like a man who's affected by Floyds smack talk?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha @ Steelie 8

Yeah I can agree with that. Ricky really didn't look like losing the fight at any stage after he went down, and he was able to adapt to Magee being on the ropes. But I think he had to work a lot harder to do the damage because he really did have to box and make sure he didn't catch any more big blows coming in.. Their is nothing wrong with that, it showed some versatility and showed he can think while he's in there... Fortunatly Ricky loves hard work also and didn't back off for a second, which will win you a fight 9 times out of 10...
I could just see Ricky dominating that fight a lot more if Magee hadn't countered so well and kept him back as well as he did.

Fvck i'll say it again, this is going to be a great fight!!

Ricky is going to come at Floyd the same as Castillo did, and Floyd arguably (convincingly in my opinion) lost that fight...

Mayweather didn't lose that fight convincing there was no more than 1 point in it either way maybe 2 but no more than that and why do people keep bringing this fight up ?? they had a rematch and Mayweather easily won and has improved plus it was over 5 years ago.

Convincingly lost the fight? HAHAHAHA. Have u actually watched it?
And what happened in the rematch may i ask. Now that was convincing....

[Dizaster]

Okay fine, it wasn't convincing... I guess i'll admit I hate on Floyd a little bit unfairly sometimes. Sue me ... It WAS relatively even, yes, but none the less I still felt a little let down when Floyd got the decision.. I really felt like Castillo should have had that fight.. I'm no professional judge though so i'm not about to argue my opinion is worth more than someone else's.

I don't know about any of the others that have brought that fight up,, but the single reason I brought it up in this case was not to complain or preach my opinion on it. I was just wanting to use it as an example to show that if someone can keep coming and coming and coming at Floyd, and not get pounded with pinpoint counters in the process, it can very very quickly even up a fight with him.. I'm certainly not trying to predict the upcoming fight by pointing out a fight Floyd won or lost 5 years ago against a totally different person... It was purely an example of how someone can match themselves up with Floyd if they attack him in the right way. In fact, forget i'm even talking about Floyd, the names of the fighters are irrelevant... I'm really just talking about styles, and that fight was the perfect example. Until I saw that fight, I had made up my mind that their wasn't much that could stop Floyd's style. He looked flawless.. That fight though, showed me that no one is flawless..

I also havn't seen all of Floyd's fights, but the ones i've seen where he hasn't completely dominated, it's because the opponent forced themselves on him continuously and relentlessly, and forced the fight to be even.... The opponents that i've seen mayweather completely outclass, have tried to fight from the outside and outbox him, or have failed to find a way to get inside consistanly....

The only relevance I was drawing upon from that fight was that you would expect Ricky to come out hounding Floyd the way Castillo did.. Whether or not it works as well for Ricky as it did for Castillo,, well,, that question is why so many people will be looking forward to watching this fight December 8th..

That's just my observations though, and I welcome the feedback. Our forum would be sh!t if everyone agreed with each other..

[Memphis]

why do people keep bringing this fight up ?? they had a rematch and Mayweather easily won and has improved plus it was over 5 years ago.

Because its relevant. Just as you think The Mayweather Chavez fight is relevant, regardless of whether Hatton is bigger faster stronger and better than Chavez, and Castillo for that matter.

It is relevant but Floyd came back and beat him all fighters that have gave Floyd trouble in the past are relevent.

[Dizaster]

On my final final note, in that video, it looks like Floyd is pretending to give Ricky's nose one of those very very very B grade porn movie head jobs. You know, the ones that are made for sex channels where they use tricky camera work and angle's so the girl doesn't actually have to touch the guys whizzer, she can just move her lips and head around to simulate the action....

In fact, if someone has the editing skills to put something funny in place of Ricky's face, i'll pay $10 for it

Okay okay, enough hating... I had a long day...

Yes but Castillo fights differently to Hatton he didn't swarm Mayweather the way Hatton does and Mayweather beat Castillo easy in rematch thats why there is no reason bringing it up if they didn't have rematch then i would understand but other than that there is no real reason bringing it up.

Just as you think The Mayweather Chavez fight is relevant

Yes but i do realize that Mayweather has improved since that fight and still broke up Chavez badly reason why Chavez vs Mayweather fight is better arguement is because Chavez is near enough same height as Hatton and used near enough same tactics with the swarming and the high output of 90+ and 100+ punches in every round.

[Memphis]

Right so we cant talk about Castillo who at worst came very close to beating Mayweather a long time ago but we can talk about Eamonn Magee who had one good round against Hatton a long time ago.

Its relevant if someone thinks its relevant, thats the bottom line.

If Hatton had rematched Collazo and beaten him soundly would people disregard his first effort? of course they wouldnt. It still offers some insight into what another fighter can achieve, same with Mayweather Castillo 1.

Im not saying you can't bring it up but when people are bringing up first fight they always seem to forget they had a rematch and Mayweather easily won plus if you remember didn't Mayweather have injury to his shoulder in first fight ??

I didn't talk about it i haven't seen that fight.

I would have because he would of proved that first time was a fluke and that he properly trained for the rematch but i still think he wouldn't of beat Collazo easy due to Hatton having problems with southpaws he has had that problem since he was an amateur i believe.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Correct ICE, he lost tof Francis Barrett from my boxing club up in Belfast, for no other reason apart from Barrett being a lefty.
