    And if that fat good for nothing manc Ricky Fatton had problems with Collazo then Floyd should have him out of there in 4 rounds, you see we can all play that game!! :lol: , Hatton simply doesn't have the jab or the power to make it a contest, and no doubt that will be the excuse for the Floyd haters once Floyd exposes that bum. :rofl

    yeah, and hatton had 7 weeks to prepare for the step up in weight and change in opponent, so now he has the time to adapt I can see a better outcome, I agree about the jab, he doesnt throw enough punches coming in, but if he gets it right on the night, he will do floyd, and there will be none happier than myself!

    A prime Castillo gave Floyd problems, lets not forget that. I think Hatton will do well early in the fight, but Floyd will break him down as the fight goes on.

    I cant see floyd do anything but running and jabbing, picking his shots, he doesnt ever want to engage if he thinks he might get hit back, but I guess he wins that way so why change? thats why he couldnt sell out my 3 man tent!

    You can make excuses for Ricky but then Floyd broke his hand against Castillo in the first fight so he's got an excuse also, at least Floyd had the guts to get back in the ring with Castillo and beat him, did Ricky give Collazo a rematch?, hell no :lol: , and you can talk about Ricky having "time to prepare" and "if he get's it right" but i think you need to realize he's facing the POUND FOR POUND best in the world, if Floyd is in the mood then it really doesn't matter what Ricky brings because he's simply not on Floyd's level.

    No doubt it will be a good fight but your the one showing no respect .. Really now, Hatton going to bring a whole lot of Hurt ?!?!?!? a Tuff fight maybe, but a whole lot of hurt ?!?!? he's Hatton not Tyson this is Floyd not Carlos Maussa..Remember it was Ricky's **** talking that got him the fight.

    Because Ricky wants the fight, believes he can win it, so what Floyd broke his hand in the castillo fight, hatton has to deal with cuts all day long in his fights, and believe me, hatton is gonna hurt floyd, you all talk as if this bloke is the best thing since sliced bread, i expect you reckon his win against baldomir was a 'great' win! :happy

    I think after all the recent fights between many top fighters who were both relatively prime like cotto judah, DLH-pbf, and winky-hopkins most people will have realized that when to A or A+ level fihgters meet eachother the fight is almost certainly going to be a close one. I see nothing different about this fight.

    I do however give hatton only a 30% chance of winning this fight but thats not to say that he won't give floyd a really good go.


    Personally its just too bad the mainstream public isn't paying much attention to boxing these days because there are some great fights being made!

    I've always thought Hatton was overrated as hell and I picked PBF to school Hatton back in 2005. Hatton isn't a soft touch because he's a top 10 P4P fighter and linear at 140, with said I don't think he has a puncher's chance in this fight. The only chance he has is if PBF some how breaks his hands very early on in the fight..

    That's pretty much how I see it unfolding as well, although the possibility exists of Hatton getting PBF against the ropes and unleasing some serious bodyshots.

    And as for respect, I dont show respect for Mayweather or his fans, because he shows absolutely no respect for his peers, and if your a real fan of his then your a arrogant twat too!

    Hatton is not on Floyd's level and it will show in this fight.. those expecting a competitve contest should be prepared to be disappointed..

    I expect a milder version of Floyd vs. Gatti, minus the stoppage (think Floyd wins by clear decision).. it wont be as one-sided as that fight, because Hatton won't waste his time trying to outbox Floyd like Gatti did (wtf was he thinking?). Hatton's going to come straight in and bang, and Floyd's going to catch him coming in all night long. It's not going to be pretty..

    Floyd will catch most of Ricky's punches with his gloves or make him miss badly with his superior footwork.. Ricky's best punches will be to Floyd's body. He will get in a clean shot or two and get the crowd buzzed.. but there will be no question whatsoever that Floyd will have dominated him by the end of the fight (somewhere along the lines of 10 rounds to 2, or 9 rounds to 3).

    When he's hugging Floyd, Ricky will also get some shots in to the side of Floyd's body and head, but nothing that will bother Floyd.. he will try his bully tactics, but he will suprised how slippery PBF really is.. you can't hug what you can't touch.. Too quick, too elusive.. PBF is going to make him look like a club fighter...

    And your talking like Fatton is SRR :lol: , Floyd just beat a man who's Bigger, Stronger and more skilled than Ricky in Oscar De la hoya!!, what on earth does he have to fear?, oh yeah Ricky beat a man he's already beaten TWICE!! :rofl , Floyd is the best in the business right now, so no YOU need to show some respect,
