    Im personlly a bit nervous. As I am with all my favorites (tyson, roy, floyd) After the first 2 lost I felt i was a jynx and stopped watching guys I liked bigger fights and would just watch them on the replay or tivo....

    After watching the collazo fight today with my friend the first two rounds for floyd should be interesting as they were in the fight with collazo... i expect hatton to come out wild as **** for the first 2 rounds and floyd just slowing him down with clinches and jabs because hatton throws so wild then as the fight comes along floyd just picking him apart becase hatton throws a bunch of wild ass punches that leaves him open.. at least thats my hope

    after the first 2 rounds of the collazo fight i felt some ease to my mind knowing collazo atleast in my eyes isnt that elite at all and he almost beat hatton (if he didnt get knocked down he probably would have)


    i hope floyd wins ud 10-2 or 9-3...


    anyways how do yall feel?

    only for real floyd fans

    I'm feeling like I bet a little bigger than usual on Mayweather to win, but if he loses I hope it's under 11 rounds

    I'm more nervous for floyd in this fight than I have been in the past, but I don't doubt his victory. he won't knock ricky out, and the only way the fight's getting stopped is by referee due to cuts. Objectively speaking, I see him taking it 8-4.

    Pretty nervous, only being a fan for over 2 yrs.

    Its pretty natural if you are a fan of any team or fighter to think 'what if?'

    I was nervous against Judah, Gatti, Balodmir and esp against ODLH.

    What is making it worse is i have to watch it in what i picture being a room full of Brits that are non boxing fans, probably all drunk and roaring for Hatton
    I could deal with PBF getting beat better in silence where i can take it all in, but i know it will be hell if he isnt doing well!!!!

    On the other hand, if hes winning comfortable, i can say 'told you so'

    Its a ****in double sided coin, i cant wait for the fight, its taking over my thoughts these days!

    Confident as hell, especially after Hattons timid throat cutting thing at the press conference. Floyd TKO somewhere between 8 and 10.

    As the fight get's closer and closer i can feel the tension, but when i look at what matters and the facts i.e Floyd having the height advantage, Reach advantage, the best defence in the game, speed advantage, technical advantage and doesn't gas out, coupled with the fact that Ricky isn't a devastating puncher who's main focus will be to try and get inside i feel confident and ready for war!!, how can we doubt Floyd?.. the master at figuring out his opponants!!, i watch the Gatti fight and it's just impossible to believe a man who can put on a performance as brilliant as that will lose to Hatton.

    Get ready my fellow Floyd fans!!.. we're going to war on Saturday night!!.

    Floyd cant fight the same fight as he did against dlh. Even though hatton is not better than dlh, he is younger and will not tire like dlh did. For mayweather to win he is gonna have to really want this and produce a higher work rate. Im rooting for money may but its gonna be up for grabs. I know hatton really wants this. HOpefully floyd wants it to. Mayweather by UD

    Collazo beat him but he is a lefty and strong. PBF I believe has the better skills but isnt too strong......depends on how the strentgh factor playes out

    Confident. Particularly after seeing the last episode of 24/7 (did y'all see the bit of training with Roger which showed his quick head-back defense movement! Loved the Japanese war drums in the next building to Mayweather's gym...Floyd is focused and ready to light the world with a perfect display of boxing!

    Couldnt agree with you more on this one. Mayweather won't be able to to pick his shots like he normally does, imo. He will have to unload more punches to get the decision.
