    walk forward, throw a punch and hold....step out the clinch, walk forward, throw a punch and hold.
    repeat for 180 seconds x 12. :tired

    Wicky is always saying how he's up there with the likes of Gatti, Duran and Chavez for excitement but this is a laughbable self-analysis.
    In this fight I see Mayweather tattooing Hatton with clean head punches as he looks to move in and hold. Not very original fight analysis but I just don't see how it can be anything else. See how easy Collazo picked him off.
    This will be an easy fight for Mayweather and a late stoppage.

    so my questions to Hatton fans are a) do you actually enjoy Hatton's style of fighting? and b) how can Wicky possibly win?

    When on form - yes I enjoy his fights. Thye Tszyu fight was awesome.
    The only fight I havent enjoyed recently is the second half of the Urango fight.

    It's like watching a tree being felled: very one-sided, but you can gradually see the conclusion developing.

    As a one off joe C has pulled in more than Khan on ITV, but its clear its not what were talking about.I doubt he has higher viewing figures over the course of time than Ricky. he's been hugely popular since around 2001.
    Over the period of time since Hamed I doubt any fighter has pulled in more viewers than Hatton... joe wouldnt be far behind, but I reckon ricky edges it.

    I like Napa and Witter's styles better than Hatton's.

    Napa's Is like Toney and Mayweather's combined.

    Witter's Is a flexible style with timing and counter punching and good head movment. Plus with his power, you see da homes get laid out.

    How so?

    Calzaghe will have pulled more for Calzaghe Lacy than Khan has for his fights...

    And yes on the fan base thing. can you imagine the viewing figures if ITV televised the Mayweather Hatton fight... !!
