Floyd is "willing to die December 8th"

[gyrokai]

I love watching Mayweather fight but the guy has no personality. He's confused. 1minute he's crying bout not having a typical childhood,the next he's the best ever,the next he's a businessman and now,well in his last 3 fights,he's been a "toe to toe,willing to die" type fighter Just STFU,get in the ring. No-one listens to this nonsense,no-one wants to hear it.

I'm really impressed by Hatton's reactions,I have not seen the Hitman give in once! Anyone else would have punched him in the mouth by now.

I thought it was funny how his dance partner walked away from him at one point. haha

[AdamGB]

hahaha... watch Ricky's mouth... you can see him trying not to crack up...
It's all a MASSIVE act... thats why he's so inconsistent... it's not real. It changes all the time because he puts it on.

No one could possibly talk that much shite surely...

[Wacko3205]

Hmm, about the roids, im pretty sure that itll come out some day that he has used something

Just too many top fighters moving up through the weights that are being linked, Mosely, Jones jr, Vargas, Toney and Holyfeild

From super feather to light middle ?

just dont be too surprised when it happens

That's a bit much

Why would you say that?

He's only moved about 20lbs or so....if that.

That unfortunately deserves a

Floyd's moved up over the years just like Hopkins has & trains his ass off like a gym rat. James "Fat Ass" Toney has been moving up & down on the scale & has used the roids more to control weight & gain mass at the same time.

There's not a huge noticeable difference in Floyd & he's actually toned muscle to more his actual weight.

I agree with ono that the above theory deserves a

Floyd continues to talk cause everytime he does we all talk about it. Exactly what he wants. There's no such think as bad press, especially in his situation.

Actually Floyd carries Welterweight fine. Jr. Middle and Middle he will run into guys much larger. I can understand why he moved back down to welter after his fight with Oscar.

If he fights too big of a guy, he is flirting with disaster. All the slickness in the world may not help him against some of them. He is a smart guy and knows his limitations. I do give him a lot of credit for that.

I do however, want to see him go in there and fight a larger guy, who still has good young legs and is dangerous. Hatton is fine and he is dangerous, but I think he plays into Floyd's wishes as he is small.

I would like to see him take a real risk. Doing such, will help define him from a great fighter of his time, to an all time great.

Guys Like Duran, Arguello, Hearns need more company.

There's plenty of big names at Welterweight bigger names than at Lightmiddleweight and as for Mayweather at Middleweight that would be a mismatch that wouldn't be fair.

Actually there are many steroids that don't affect your weight and help improve your endurance. Building muscle isn't the only effect that you can get. Most of the track and field athletes, and bike riders aren't using bulk producing steroids.

My theory is that most if not all high level athletes are taking them, or have at some point. The athletes being named are far from isolated incidents. And ask some pro football players how prevelant it is, it's less common not taking them.

Well at least Floyd can't blame the distraction of dancing as the reason he lost - he got Ko'd early from there and Hatton will Ko him aswell. Big mouth and overrated.

Overrated ?? how can you call the P4P number 1 fighter overrated ?? he has the best record of his era don't talk nonsense.

Very true, but very wrong.

The only people talking about it, are the ones who are ALREADY going to watch it.

Other than that, people just don't care. He's already voted out.... before that Mark Cuban guy who has no likeability whatsoever. That dance audience didn't care about him, so that just tells me that nobody outside of the boxing area cares about poor Floyd. He has no flare to him. He's artificial in personality.

[ross]

Yeah common, how can you call someone who has wins over Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, Mitchell, Brussels, Corley overrated, that there is a list of unbeaten superstars

Oh hold on

[The Rookie Fan]

Although I am well aware that history has proven otherwise, I have a funny feeling that he might mean it this time.

PBF might have put a lot of weight on that performance against Collazo where Hatton looked on shaky legs at the end.

Hatton is also not what I would call a one punch KO threat. He has some pop, there is no doubt about that, but he is more of a smotherer and acumulation damage type of fighter.

It it is also possible that all the talk is finally getting to him and he feels he needs to perform for his fans. That could be the very reason why he chose to fight Hatton in the first place as he is the smaller fighter who poses the least threat to KO him.

All that said, I think it would be a mistake if PBF went after Hatton. I would not be suprissed if we see some fireworks early, PBF get wobbled and then box and cruise himself to a wide, yet shaky, UD.

[Taeth]

I don't think people give him enough credit for how tough he is. There are many fights where he goes balls out like against Corley, Ndou, Chavez, Burton.

Also Hatton has been hurt badly against Collazo who isn't a hard puncher at all, and he was feeling those body shots from Urango, and Floyd does great body work with his jab, cross, and hooks.

[Beanflicker]

Why is everyone laughing at that? The people that laugh at that must have only seen a couple of Floyd's fights. The guy is TOUGH and he has heart, he's stood in the trenches and gone to war more than once. He can take a punch. Just because he has the skills to avoid taking a shot doesn't mean he can't take a shot.

[Deanrw]

I just hope it doesn't turn into a Track And Field event. Mayweather does not care about the fans once the tickets have sold and he just wants the W.

He is promising fireworks just for the sales. In fact, the more I think about this fight, the more I feel like it is going to be a huge stinker. The only person who is going to be suffering more than the fans is Hatton for having to eat punches while chasing Floyd around for 36 minutes.
