    Hi guys, been a long-time lurker here, basically my first post.

    Don't think this has been posted before but:

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/165148-who-is-ricky-hatton-sparring-with-heres-one-wacky-theory (probably a cut and past job, I don't do html)

    To summarize: one possible theory as to the state of Ricky's face after sparring sessions, and the secrecy surrounding them, is that Ricky's been sparring with little Floyd.

    What do we think? Probably bollocks right? If it's true, do you think it could have any outcome on the fight?

    Thats definately a possibilty but it maybe a bit out there. But I didn't know floyd could represent manny style speed maybe.

    My guess would be Lara, he's bigger than Hatton, fast and a southpaw.

    Hes been sparring with Erislandy Lara who i think is a jr middleweight. Lara was quite rightly having the better of the sparring.

    Are FMJ & FMS even on speaking terms?

    And if you wanted to spar someone to prepare for Manny, I doubt Floyd would be the first choice.

    If Team Hatton were smart they would have asked to spar Ajose Olusegun
