if/when hatton loses he is not to be ashamed

I have made no comparisons. He has. He started an entire thread on how us Yanks are wrong and underestimating Hatton. Started off fair enough, but later on he went from us underestimating Hatton to "Hatton wins no matter what".

His whole premise in his post was that Americans are comparing Hatton to certain fighters PBF already beat and thats why we are wrong. Since he is saying Hatton is gonna win and that it's "simple as", I want to know what brings him to that conclusion and based on what evidence he's seen.

 

Thank you for that. Your contribution to this debate is noted.

As Mr Kool says-its how he loses thats important.
He's going up against the clear no1 in the sport and not only that the perception is that he's fighting out of his weight division.
To be fair though, Floyd isn't exactly huge at the weight so we shouldn't read too much into that.
If Hatton gets a thrashing he'll instantly be dismissed as an overhyped eurobum(often by posters with Floyd as their avatar) who could only beat old men and Mayweather will be criticised for beating a midget.
If its competitive Mayweather will be criticised for not dominating said midget. The only scenario in which somone gets credit will be if Ricky wins.

 

Interesting perspective. Hadn't thought of that in quite that way. Need to sit and think on that. Good show.

 

lol, your right mate - the simple as comment was said tongue in cheek.

pbf has never faced a man who will put pressure on him and take him out of his comfort zone like hatton will dec 8th - forget, chavez, oscar, castillo, baldomir - this is gonna be a tough night for floyd. its just the posters on here who say he has no chance that annoy me with there ignorance. hatton will be like a man possessed on dec 8th.

on the other hand hatton has never fought anybody with as much style and class as pbf so somethings got to give.

i take heart that pbf is the bigger man in this fight and that he has been making encouraging noises that he will stand and trade in this match and give the fans some excitement. if pbf lets this kind of macho bravado get in his way. then it spells trouble for pbf imo.

 

Of course not! Floyd is by far the best fighter he's ever faced. If he looses...which I think he will, he shouldn't be upset one bit. He does have a chance you know! Floyd hasn't been 100% focuced on this fight...he's been trying to "Play" celeb by doing his dancing thing.atsch Rick has a good chance.
