    Exactly, so why is there a 100% option?

    Just a way for the person making the poll to introduce bias to an otherwise objective form of statistics.

    Yeah, a man way past his prime, has stamina problems (20 punches a round!) so ricky beats that five times over. Im not trying to disrespect floyd, although i hate him with a vengence, but ricky will be his worst nightmare, floyd has never fought anyone with the intent of hatton, and **** castillo, im not comparing them two, castillo plods compared to hatton, its a completely different fight! Yeah, i will show respect when floyd does, so probably never!:blurp

    I agree with one point you make.....ricky ain't bringing the pain he's bringing the hustle. And if he can't out work floyd he's got no chance. Fortunently, he's a bulldog in the ring, floyd has a tendency to only want to do just enough to win a fight when he's in with a good guy (that not his skill level its just his mentality), and the philly shell doesn't work as well against a body attack.....so the fight should be competitive for a the most part.

    Listen, this aint no gatti, baldomir, mitchell or judah (mental problems) this is an in your face, 3 mins of every round, cannot be put off pain in the ass kind of fighter. Im not suggesting that ricky is the second coming of the great roberto duran, im just saying that this fight will be a lot harder than many of you folk seem to be suggesting!

    Mayweather should win easy. Fatton lost that fight at 147 to Collazo. Collazo is a nobody, old man Mosley boxed Collazo's ears off and won an easy UD.

    In the US and at 147 Hatton doesnt have a chance in hell. If this was at 140 in the UK with a ref that lets him wrestle and back in 2004 then Hatton would have had a 50% chance.

    So you're saying he doesn't have a chance? If he has almost no chance, then he's a soft touch opponent. Therefore, you're saying PBF is a coward? **** you! Floyd is P4P #1 and is taking a tough fight here.

    I HATE people who irrationally hate PBF just because he has a flashy personality. Hate the man if you want, but respect him as a boxer. :twisted:

    **** PBF haters. :bbb

    I respect Floyds skill, not his persona, hatton can take him all the way, no doubt about that!

    Cant remember the last time I posted on this forum but I gotta say...

    HEARD IT ALL BEFORE!

    Hatton vs. Tszyu was exactly the same. I have given Hatton 40% chance - same as I would have given him againts Kostya. He can bring something new to Floyd.

    I am certain whatever happens this will be a classic fight one way or another.

    And Ricky has never faced anyone who's anywhere near Floyd's level, and Skill beats "intent" all day long. :lol:

    Ricky has fought and beat into submission Zoo, who was the WORLD NO.1 AT THE TIME.

    How can you be sure that PB can take the pressure if it comes?

    Er, the FOTC pretty much proved that will can beat skill.

    "Zoo" was not on Floyd's level and in any case he was past it anyway, and you wanna know why Floyd can "take the pressure"?, because Oscar tryed to do the same things and failed, and as i said he's a bigger, stronger and more skilled boxer than Fatton, people are forgetting Floyd has the height and reach advantage, that spells big trouble for Ricky, :lol:
