    i was in a bar watching the pbf/hatton fight and these ****ing douchebag english guys kept singing that ****ing song like they were special or something.

    90 percent of the people there just thought these guys were ****ing the biggest douchebags.

    how embarrasing for english people.

    Is there something wrong with them supporting Floyd instead of Hatton?

    Being the bigger, stronger fighter really does not translate into winning.. Look what Duran did to Davy Moore.. Dave Moore was the bigger, stronger,faster fighter but Duran destroyed moore.. This is a perfect example, if a higher just relies on his physical attributes only, then he is as only as good at the next fighter who is just as young, just as fast , just as strong and hits just as hard.

    I think they were supporting Hatton, but singing the Hatton version of the song

    If Pacquiao was willing to fight Mayweather would not have gone on vacation.

    Ross Greenburg can say what ever he wants. Bottom line is that the making of the fight came to a halt when Pacquiao would not agree to both himself and Mayweather being randomly tested for PED's. Greenberg stood to gaon a lot with this fight (he has since left HBO). It is easier to blame the les popular guy than the popular guy.

    Ortiz will surely lose this fight. Throw out the game plan ortiz and just throw volume of punches like there's no tomorrow.

    wow! greenburg would be the most neutral one since he would not gain anything from siding with pac or floyd. all he wants is to make the fight and he certainly knows more than any of us on what happened in the negotiations.

    do you actually think that you or any floyd fan in the internet knows more than greenburg about the negotiation situation?

    uhhh yea both Gatti and Hatton were better than Ortiz and are probably both hall of famers.

    I like Ortiz, and fully expect this to be a tough fight, wouldn't bet against Floyd but it wouldn't just blow me away for Ortiz to make this a super competitive fight.

    Gatti was a bad ass but did not have the technical skills and was famous for his heart, HOF not yet... maybe later but Hatton is definitely not. Ortiz IMO is better then Hatton... He got destroyed when he stepped onto the Elite like PAC & MAY so we will see how Ortiz gives an account of himself compares to Hatton's performances Or Gatti's who were completely demolished..

    So where does Greenburg say that Manny agreed to testing, furthermore who helped Manny overcome his "phobia", Not sure how Greenburg factors into either one of those scenarios, can you explain that? Manny's "phobia" of giving blood/needles etc is why he wouldn't test per his own words (I'm in heavy truing 15 days from fight...Brian Kenny interview), Floyd said directly no cut offs after SSM fight, so what did Greenburg say that addressed either major issue that's lead us to this point?

    You idiot I am not talking about accomplishments or whole careers I am talking about skills *****... Obviously Hatton and Gatti have major flaws but make up for it with good careers... but Brah Ortiz ain't done yet and skill wise I say Ortiz is better at WW, lets see how he does against the elite before saying who is better and had the greater career, Ortiz has a long career left.
