    i would be a little suprised because i think hatton has the foot speed, workrate and determination to get in close to pbf and work him. if it happened though, there would be nothing but praise for pbf from me.

    OK, apologies. I am just so used to flaming and shitty points and childish arguments here I expected you were provoking us for the same.

    I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. My fault.

    Excuses will be the order of the day as usual. Just like in the PBF-Oscar fight the same people who said Oscar would KO PBF were some of the first to say after the fight Oscar was shot and this fight will be no different. They'll say PBF ran or the fight should have been at 140. It doesn't matter PBF will never satisfy the haters.:deal

    You don't have a clue how Hatton or his supporters react to a defeat, simply because he has not yet been beaten.

    Do you not see how ridiculous it is for you to speak knowledgably about what the reaction will be when you have absolutely no idea? Do you not get that?

    Great post. He is attempting to use experience from other fights to explain what he thinks will happen. But he is wrong.

    :rofl Snap!

    I would be slightly surprised if Hatton gets shut out but not shocked.
    I think a floyd at a lighter weight with a bit less mileage on the clock would be more likely to embarrass Ricky that way. Now I expect him to win clearly by a few rounds.

    No problem , I do admit that I do engage in some **** talking , but its all in fun but I want to find how the true boxing fan feel on this issue , since so many fans appear to wearing there hearts on there sleeve for this fight.

    To me, boxer win and they lose , thats boxing the only thing I truly care about is Dame good boxing skill , good fights , and the health and safety of the fighter.

    As long as no one has to sip soup after there career is done , its all good.

    Dont think any would be surprised, think most of us know he is a big underdog.

    Maybe you won't offer excuses and if you don't I'll be the first to give you your due, however I've been around here long enough to know that there will be many who will.
    Here are some recent examples:
    PBF-Oscar "Oscar was shot and a part-time fighter"
    PBF-Baldo "Baldo was a journey man and never **** to begin with"
    PBF-Judah "Zab was a glass chinned punk and nothing but hype"
    PBF-Mitchell "Mitchell was a 140 pound fighter and shot"
    PBF-Gatti "Gatti was shot and nothing more than a punching bag"
    I could go on and on. Mind you in most of these fights especially the Gatti and Oscar fights most here thought PBF would loss.

    So oscar wasnt past it and part-time, oh and I forgot, Baldi was a ATG, legend beating monster!!! Mitchell was destroyed by Kostya in fewer rounds before floyd got to him and everyone called KT "shot" when ricky fought him, I love all this ****!

    There are no excuses this time, lets face it, 2 fighters in their prime, no serious injuries/setbacks to speak of, both had good camps (from what we hear) therefore there is no reason to be shitty when one or the other loses, just a case of the better guy won!

    Nope. I won't be surprised by any outcome. It's 50/50. I never made any predictions for this fight, and I think anyone out there making predictions (half the board here for starters) are foolish.
