    Not even when the talk is coming from someone deep within camp (e.g. Hatton's own Dad):roll:

    For ****s sake, at last !!

    taking a sparring session ( even between the two fighters who are going to fight ) as a representation of how a fight will go is utter bumwash !

    But if the stroy was the other way around (and Mayweather was the one getting tagged ala Spadafora):think...****ing hypocrites.

    I agree with this.

    I think he will lay it all on the line to beat PBF, he knows he aint gonna win a boxing match so he must fight to his own strengths. He will get tagged heaps and may very well get KO'd but he knows he must employ this tactic.

    Get it round ye, ya f**kin walloper !!!

    I have never shown anything but respect for Floyds abilities and I have certainly never commented on what happens in his sparring sessions. Sparring has never and will never dictate how a fight goes.

    :think ....****ing idiot.

    Possible. At times on the 24/7 episodes it seemed like Ricky was trying to talk himself up and was bashing Floyd with more disgust and resentment than usual (maybe Floyd's mind games are working).

    Still, I try not to read too much into that. I'll predict that both guys will be very confident come December 8th.

    especially if it coming from dad , no doubt dad would be leaking some faulty information about his son..

    Possibly though I would expect Hatton's cornermen to make some adjustments at some point. The way I see it, the Hatton team has both a winning game plan and a plan B for damage control.

    Conversely, Mayweather would only have a winning game plan.

    yeah right if hattons plan of pressure is not working v mayweather, hatton should change up his tatics and become a slick boxer from the outside because we all know that hatton has an outside chance in this fight of outboxing mayweather from the outside.

    where is that flying pig when you need one.

    :lol: You are right sean...there's only one way he can win this and it does involve getting tagged...but if he gets tagged quite a bit in sparring, it will be a long night on the 8th v. PBF...still, as I said before, props to ricky for letting himself in for a hell of a tagging, just to increase his own small chances of a stoppage.

    Hatton has been getting tagged in sparring...his father said this, the sky sports reporter said this...maybe there is mind games playing here and people are fooling us and Mayweather.
