Ta kev! :)

I see it going one of two ways.

If hatton is going to win this fight then it will have to be on the inside not letting mayweather keep his distance where ricky can pull mayweather into a brawl and thats where ricky's strength lies in this fight i would say and i think ricky will be able to maintain this because he obviously will and should be in the best shape of his career going into this blockbuster.

If hatton cannot get near mayweather however as well maybe the case as mayweather is a supremely talented and quick boxer than i can only see hatton getting easily outpointed or even dismantled like mayweather did to arturo gatti.(if you remeber that one..).

My heart says ricky but my head says mayweather but thats one of the many reasons why this fight is just so big.

Either way ill be more nervous and excited as rooney supposidly was carrying hattons belts into the ring against castillo in june, come fight night and the wait during the build up on dec8th lol. :D

SWEET!!

Calzaghe - Kessler in November and now if I can get tickets off to vegas in December for this !!

A great year end for boxing.

Yeah and i think unless i misread somewhere that cotto v mosley is happening in november..might be wrong..but again, a great few months in boxing coming up!.
 
I think the ref is going to play a big part in this and if he's on Hattons case early, he loses big. If he lets Hatton get close and work inside then it's gonna be a cracker. I noticed Hatton was 'ref aware' in the Castillo fight. Hatton was doing his own roughing up but when Castillo started to play the game, Hatton noted it to the ref. Hatton is cannier than people give him credit for and I think he's going to fight a brutal, sometimes dirty war and I've got a feeling he's going to do it by close UD.

To be honest there's no shame in Hatton losing to Mayweather, not so the other way around, which is why I feel the pressure is on Mayweather. Shame it's not in Manchester too, that would seal or steal it.
 
Latest best odds:

Hatton 2/1
Draw 20/1
Mayweather 0.52/1

I'm surprised they're so close tbh, Mayweather sounds a good bet at 0.52/1
 
well its looking like ill be goin vegas with the missus for this one gonna make a week out of it :)

mayweather is the best boxer in the world and no one has beaten him because at most or part of the fight they have tryed to box him

rick will not stand off and box, he will push him on to the ropes and keep pushing him back

rick's style is floyds worse nightmare

the only people that have come close to beating pbf are those that have a good mexican style eg. castillio as floyd hates to be pushed back and pressured

odlh was doing well pushing him on the ropes with loads of inside hooks/body shots its just a shame hes a tad past it

hatton is in his prime tho and unlike oscar he wont run out of gas 2/3's thru the fight he'll keep the pressure on with his relentless body attack and break him down like hes never seen before

rick will win this after a complacent maywether is overcome by our home grown pittbull manchester hitman steam rollers his way thru this big headed arrogant wanna be rapper, leaving him gasping for air, bloodied, lying on the canvas with broken ribs...........

i hope :D

i hope :D

Yeah im excited now :) Will MGM grand themselves sell the tickets?
 
Finally the fight ive been waiting for:D, i hope its a good one like the DLH one a few months ago even tho i missed it:(.

As for whos gonna win??, im afraid i dont think Hatton will beat Mayweather...Floyd is just too damn good and when he says hes the best p4p boxer in the world...i believe him, hes simply awesome i think. Even though i dont like him much but my money is on Mayweather to finish Hatton off. I really dont think Hatton has a chance in hell of beating him but if he does then hats off to the lad.
 
How old was DLH when he fought mayweather?
any truth in DLH being shot and way velow his peak in that fight?

Oscar isn't shot. He's not in his prime but he definitely isn't shot. A prime Oscar would have had trouble with Floyd, would be similar to the trouble Mosely caused him (although I don't agree with the decisions in the DLH/Mosely fights).
 
booked vegas for a week at mgm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

bloke said as soon as its confirmed price will treble :D

so £450 for me and missus is looking nice ;)
 
God i hope hatton beats him one things for sure hatton
will fight like a lion and be relentless.
Creaming my pants at the prospect of it already.
About time we returned to exciting boxing like in the benn eubank collins days.
 
Now definetely confirmed at the mgm grand in vegas on dec8th as the venue for this huge fight.

So the now the venue is set and tickets are due to go on release about the 17th sept-ish according to peeps on the official hatton forums.

Again i hope that sky get this one and i believe and have read that HBO in america will probably be doing another 24/7 like they did for dela hoya and mayweather for the build up to this immense fight.

Not too long to go!. :D

If it has not been posted in another thread!.:):)

So glad that sky have got this big one now on sky box office come dec8th with all the build up thats starting now, the press conferences and the coverage which should be great.

Means i have not got to mess about re-subscribing to setanta and it shows when it comes to the crunch sky has the more financial clout, especially what ive read there paying hatton for this to be on sky box office!.

Cant wait.:)
 
Mayweather vs Hatton Pressser MUST SEE

This is amusing and gets you hyped up for it. Mayweather been his usual mouthy self with Hatton laughing at him

Yeah what more can you say.

Just watched the 20min presser from a link on the official hatton forums.

Same old floyd lol and hatton was just simply laffin in his face.

Quality and predictable.:D

There is more to come.

Chicago today. New york wednesday. London thursday and Manchester friday.

The last one should be great in hattons hometown on friday.

I tried get tickets but they were all gone when I looked :(

No way im paying those broker prices they have. Complete rip off, they should have had a fight of this magnitude at a higher capacity arena.
 
Yeah apparently from peeps on the official hatton forums who tried getting tickets for people said they were gone literally in minutes yesterday and most had to do it via some kind of postal ballot.

3,900 is all the uk got apparently but the same for mayweather fans supposidly and the rest going to greedy fat cat local gamblers, stars, that kind of crap basically i think.

Still a definete sky box office job on dec 8th and cant wait!.:)

Funny you should say "wouldnt be funny if hatton kissed him" cause i was talking to a work mate on msn earlier after watchin it on there and sky sports news intially and i said "mayweather looks like he is trying to chat hatton up and kiss him" lmao.
