    True he only has a few fights left in him to secure any kind of legacy so he has to go for broke. If he wins big against Paulie he could find himself in the hunt for some big matchups again. His popularity will always make him a good opponent for any fighter.

    What the hell does Hatton think Floyd sr. is gonna teach him?Bob and weave,hit and not get hit,work with the jab?With his Frodo like reach and height he still has to go with his style,Floyd may work on the defence a little and that is it.

    i want to hear why you think that...

    heø's one of the few british boxers in the last 20 years who actually got out of the grind of fighting in britain but never finding out how good they were.

    hatton put himself on the line and earned his fight with mayweather - something most british fighters in recent time have never done.

    so let's hear why you think ricky hatton should be "ashamed"?

    i bet you a million dollars you cant do it.

    Heavenly delights for both and 4 us. Hatton is a true hardcore fighter, actually a throwback, iconic, most exciting SOB and Floyd Snr. is a great motivator, cornerman and a great SOB himself... B'sides, this should be a lot of fun since they're masterful entertainers outside the ring. Quite simply, the unbeatable team at press conferences and hype stuff.

    well usually it takes a thief to catch a thief.

    hatton is fighting paulie so instead of going for extra aggresion they are looking for a guy who knows what paulie is gonan do...you get me?

    This could be like when gatti tried to outbox mayweather, we all know how that turned out.
    If hatton keeps his swarmer style he'll take this one.

    Hatton wants Pacman next so Roach is a no-no.
