Ricky Hatton vs Floyd Mayweather
 

Seems it could be on so what's your thoughts ?

I read that Mayweather has a 7 inch reach advantage which allied to his superior boxing skills is quite a hurdle to overcome.

tough call this one......mayweather is by far the superior boxer but wont have had the pressure(bullying) that hatton will give him,its all about weather floyd can take it and figure hatton out......hattons an open type fighter and floyd could be clever and take him apart....but didnt they say the same about kostya zyu???

hatton is tough seen last mayweather fight he was good but i think hatton has measure of him tough as nails hatton

Could be a classic and I hope it goes ahead, as for the winner it will be difficult as Hatton is not a natural welterweight so FM has to be the favourite

heart says Hatton but head says Mayweather

Baggins...

Great matchup with the two different styles. Saw Mayweather clips on youtube of his battle with Chavez and he weathered the storm, but Hatton looks to throw harder punches than Chavez?? Mayweather is going to be tough to catch up to and figure out...I'm with Bilbo and want Hatton to win but if betting money would put it on the mouth.

one thing is for sure, Hatton won't make anything easy for Mayweather, I would love to see Ricky do the business

Baggins...:boxing:

Id love to see hatton shut that mouthy cunts trap

Who gave Mayweather the nickname of Pretty Boy, himself? Must be the play on Pretty Boy Floyd the old mobster, because it can't be due to his looks.

when i was at the vargas-de la hoya fight in 2002 mayweather walked through the mandalay bay casino with a load of wannabe gangsters dripping with gold thinking they owned the place

less than 36 hours till they enter the ring now and i still can't make a prediction for this one....! heart says hatton head say PBF , for hatton to win i think he'll have to jump on PBF from the off and boss the fight not letting PBF dictate the pace

same same....heart says hatton but head says floyd.......i think floyd will hab his running shoes on for a points win

I'm not sure what Hatton has got to do the job. Heart yes but I don't think that's going to be enough. I see it either going all the way and Hatton coming up short or Hatton throwing caution to the wind and either getting worn down or stopped when behind on points in the latter rounds.

Is the Sportsman going to have the fight on? Any other places worth a visit to watch the fight? Supposed to start 900 pm Sat nite eastern time which is 900 am Sun here??

Cheers,

Magoo

i'd say your about right on the time magoo , the sportsman soi13 would be my port of call:3beers:

I believe it is on True Channel 67 which means you either have the platinum package or it's PPV.

Lots of bars in BKK are showing the fight from 9 a.m. and serving brekkie so I would assume that somewhere like The Sportsman will be showing it.

I wonder if we will get a stitch up decision, rematch = mega bucks ?

always possible in vegas R

Yes anything possible, I got nicked in Vegas once

come on then out with it

Pissed up looking for a shag dancing

i was thinking kerb crawling so i wasn't far out

Some bird asked me if I wanted action and she turned out to be a fucking cop, and because I dropped my trousers that was it.

it's just not cricket when the coppers set traps

Did you lose a dime in one of the slot machines :slots: ROLAND? :mooney:

For whatever reason, Mayweather's post news conference interview showed that he isn't all that confident ....... stuttering all over the place. I'm sure that it will be a great fight and we'll find out just exactly how good Mayweather is when he is asked some serious questions.

I've put a tenner on Hatton at 40s to win in 9. :rubhands:

I've just put £50 on Mayweather to win on points @ 100/30
Felt really guilty doing it :shame:

Might balance it by putting some on Ricky i n the later rounds.
De La Hoya on tv here saying he reckons Hatton will win.
Says Mayweather is good because of his hunger for cash!
If Hatton wins, he will either have a rematch with Mayweather, or fight Cotto or go with De La Hoya.
I pray Hatton beats the mouthy flashy cunt.
10,000 Brits in Vegas, great stuff, I feel a bit jealous, I was going to get over there but no-one wanted to go with me!
I'm a soft cunt, having a travelling companion or not doesn't usually bother me. Gutted in fact I am not there, win or lose, those memories would be forever

The build up is getting nasty, can't wait for this one, I'm with my "boys from accross the pond" hope "Hatty" knocks his mouth shut.

Mack, who do you want to win?
I fancy a punt at a draw too, wouldn't surprise me

Baggins :bag: I'm rooting for Hatton to win because I don't like Mayweather's mouth but I think Mayweather will win the fight :boxing:

Three excellent vids from youtube which cut through the hype ......

tom, many thanks, brilliant clips mate
:thumbsup:

It looks like Hatton has a real good team around him, especially his trainer Graham. :boxing:

Mack, the coverage here makes you think you are actually there.....
Come on Hatton!!!
:boxing:

ESPN showed a quick clip from the weigh in, their foreheads were pushed together. I thought Ricky was tempted to head butt Mouthweather.

The weigh-in is on youtube now ....... good stuff. Let's fuckin' have him! :cheer3::cheer3::cheer3:

Any members on here meeting up to watch it? I reckon I might go to The Pig and Whistle. At least one other bar on soi 8 is showing it.

never seen Hatton in such good shape, great stuff!

Both looked in top shape Baggins :bag: Did you see Mouthweather's stomach? :shock:
