    I bet Betty can't believe his luck - or maybe he was right all along?? But the fact of the matter is - Hatton is becoming the character Betty has accused him of being since the Tszyu fight....I know he is only trying to earn as much as he can - but he is now talking pure shyte that cannot be overlooked - he has morphed into a self obsessed fiend - i think he worships ODLH tbh and has rather thickly and naiively copied all the traits that Oscar had the ability to disguise.

    Where do people get this idea Hatton is bigger than De La Hoya?

    De La Hoya has filled out middleweight in the past. Hatton would look like a hot air balloon if he attempted something similar. Imagine him measuring up to Hopkins and you get an idea of how ****ing stupid this theory is.

    I don't think anyone is saying he's bigger than De la Hoya but Hatton will be physically stronger than De la Hoya was because it's his optimum weight.

    I'm not saying that Hatton is definitely going to win but Pacquiao will be facing strength that he's not got near to facing before and nobody knows for certain how well he will deal with it.

    Exactly - he aint bigger - hes just fatter!

    Ricky says that Ricky is going to be in the Ring at 154lbs. Thats some serious pie eating between the weigh in and the fight :lol:

    Seriously though - i cant quite get over the weight gain of modern fighters - I mean Hatton is going from 10st to 11st!

    Do you think some fighters are bull shitting or just over estimating their ring weights, or are they able to dehydrate themselves that much for the weigh in? :think

    I think that putting that much on suggests you will be leaving a bit on the scales soon enough... Cotto was approaching that before he moved up to welter

    Pretty sure Hatton won't be 154 anyway, could be wrong but I think he usually comes in about 148


    @ TFFP - Hatton will be more than 146 which is what Oscar came in at. Simple as that.

    I hate to break this to you, but weight is a number. It does not make you bigger, neccessarily. Hence why Paul Williams can weigh in at the same as any welterweight and still be clearly and obviously defined as bigger.

    De La Hoya has carried middleweight, which immediately marks him out as having a larger frame than Hatton who has struggled to carry 147lbs effectively.

    Consider this: Hatton struggles at 147 and runs off back down to 140 while everybody discredits Pacquiao because Hoya is weak. Now people are trying to use the same argument to prove Hatton is "bigger". Wakey wakey dumbos, you've just defeated your own argument.

    I was on your side up to that point Betty,despite you getting stick,but Ricky is right on this;
    He WILL be the bigger man because Oscar,though naturally bigger,trained and dieted his way down to a virtual walking skellington.
    He reduced himself to smaller than Ricky,and looked like **** after doing it.

    I agree Hatton's PFP title talk every 5 minutes is absurd.

    I agree this 'pound 4 pound title' talk is ridiculous. I'm still a big fan of Hatton but I'm getting more and more pissed by him. He's just got too big and it’s just the same old **** from him all the time. Every interview he tells the same ****ing cheesy jokes and keeps telling us why everybody loves him.

    Hatton is tailor-made for Manny. It will be a complete beat-down with Hatton getting KO'd. At the highest level Hatton's defence is almost non-existent and he has always struggled against speed.

    Anyone who is successful has a big ego. Why do you think they are driven to arise above the mush? Why are you posting on this thread? Is your opinion really that unique? It's ego. Don't mean your a bad guy, just human nature.
    Betty fulfills his by making bitchy threads behind a mans back...

    I made a thread on the transferable Title thing a while back: expect the British media and casual Man City football fans to begin referring to Hatton as P4P#1 should he defeat Pacquaio.

    Which I do feel he has a good chance of doing, btw.
