being up against the ropes in not a problem for Mayweather, he can look after himself there and will do plenty damage fighting off them. It's not a factor.
Mayweather likes it on the outside, he´s faster and he has a MUCH bigger reach. Knowing the ring is very big, I´ve gone from putting my money on Hatton to Floyd, I think it makes a HUGE difference.
anyone got solid confirmation on this? I can't believe reporters could be so dumb to have not reported this fact.
good news is...any reporter who reports this...who has an aol email...can't be that pro. doylexxx, i was under same impression that it was 20 foot too.
Yep, I definitely want to see what Floyd can do in there, and I don't want it to happen as a result of the things size.... Let him get in there and do what he does. If Hatton's camp allowed such a big ring, they're not so bright. Hagler vs. Leonard, anyone?
Phanekim, Steve Bunce was on BBC radio last night from Vegas. He made a big thing of it being a 22 foot ring. Buncey is a well informed fight correspondent. I doubt very much he is wrong.
i just an articale in my guardian today that says it is a 22 foot ring as well and hatton has known this all along and was a mayweather condition of signing the fight.

Ricky is an intelligent man (proud as he may be...he will give his all to play his chances) ; a guaranteed $10,000,000 on top of the British PPV sales is not to be scoffed at...:deal
