This seems insane to me. Why would PBF participate on "Dancing with the Stars" while he is training for the Hitman. Check out this story about todays press conference in L.A.There are some photos of Floyd's dance partner, Karina Smirnov, on there too. She's definitely hot. http://www.ocregister.com/sports/mayweather-hatton-fight-1847208-england-dancing "He wants a toe-to-toe battle, that's what I'm going to give you on Dec. 8 if that's what you want. No problem," Mayweather said, speaking directly to Hatton at Monday's news conference at CityWalk at Universal Studios. "I ain't going to dance on my toes. I'm gonna dance when I go on 'Dancing with the Stars,' but you don't have to worry about me dancing on Dec. 8."
I'd love to see them go toe to toe, but I'm realistic and Floyd will fight in the way he can avoid the least amount of punishment and make Hatton look bad.
its really a case of Floyd underestimating Hatton. & who can knock him? Floyd has that swagger. some call it being cocky, others call it being an ass hole. I say its all of the above. Floyd is definitly a better boxer who feels he can do dancing with the stars, train for hatton as he wold normally in preparation for a title fight & still stand toe to toe to give fans a exciting fight. Stylistically floyd should be able to put on a pretty exciting & fan friendly fight. Floy is a counter puncher with the best counters and ring prowess in the bizz & hatton is strong consistant pressure. But Hatton is a champion & has heart & a nations PRIDE. That may be all Hatton needs to take advantage of an overconfident & "Hopefully" ill-prepared Floyd Mayweather Jr. I'm still picking Floy by stoppage.
Steals?, what a fool you must be. Good movement, great stamina, decent power, great speed, good chin and awesome skills is "stealing"?, then you must think that Muhammad Ali stole his way to greatness then since he was quite similar to Mayweather in terms of style(the moving part, specifically). He might talk trash and do otherwise but who gives a damn?, you know his style so expect him to apply it, you don't really expect Hatton to go there and dance, do you?, everyone had his style you should know that by now.
I believe PBF is the best fighter of our generation. Some people think his fights are boring. WTF. The dude has incredible skills. I've seen almost every one of his fights. I love watching him fight. His defensive skills are unbelievable. He doesn't run. He stands in front of people and makes them miss. He is a 130-pounder that has won at 154. My problem is will his lack of focus hurt him against the Hitman. Ricky is no joke. He is tough as nails. If you mess around with him, he could pull of an upset.
That's EXACTLY my point when I say that Hatton can and will make the fight tough and close, he's simply not the type of fighter you can take lightly, he will do everything he can to make a fight close and tough.
PBF does not "steal fights". He is a very technically efficient boxer, and sticks to his fundamentals, especially on defense. It's not his fault if you can't hit him.
hattons equalizer in this fight is his holding, headbutting, and low blows all of which floyd can neutralize with that forearm to the throat.
We all know PBF is full of **** when he starts talking about going toe to toe. He'll stand in front of Hatton ONLY when he is absolutely sure he can get out of the way after unloading. PBF is not a fighter, he is a career boxer and is only there to make money.
STFU Mayweather. We've heard these lies before. Floyd will properly brawl if he feels his opponent can't hurt him. Otherwise expect Floyd to do what he always does.
I hope Hatton breaks some ribs on Mayweather and shuts up his big mouth.. Mayweather is a little wifebeater, and a pathetic one.. Hatton ko 8...
