That Mayweather-Hatton press conference that just happened...

Dunky, I used to like your posts but the amount of bias in them concerning Hatton is truly pathetic. Seriously, oo and read a few and tell me with a straight face it isn't bull****. You take every minute thing Hatton does you disagree with, and blow it up something ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad if I thought that you would have the same stance if it was any other boxer, but as it's Hatton, you seem to gethypocritical.

Answer me honestly. If Scott Harrison was in the exact same position and reacted the same way, would you be on ESB crying about him saying "poof" and his image being tarnished and all the rest? I don't think you would and I don't think most members who know you think yuo would have the same opinion.

I wanted to reply to your points one-by-one, but to go to such lengths as to bring up race and sexuality as reason to dislike Hatton is sad. It's not even worth bothering with.

 

Il ask anyone this, and it would need a good answer to change my mind on Hatton-Mayweather and their personalities.
When you see Mayweather in the lead up to this fight and when you look at Hatton in the lead up to this fight, who is being himself? Who is doing what we expect him to?

PBF is doing what he always does, talks shite, sells the fight, not for a minute does he change, hes cocky, arrogant. He disrespects he openent. Then he gets down to business, wait and see, the 7-10 days before this fight, you wont hear of PBF saying a word, that will all have been done, he will get into his focus zone.

Hatton on the other hand doesnt know whether to put on a pair of headphones, to chew gum, to try take on Floyd word for word, insult for insult. Hes not used to being looked down apon as second from another fighter. Hes letting it get to him. You listen to him speaking to the reporters after all 5 of the promotions, hes not happy with PBF, instead of doing his bit to sell the fight, which PBF knows exactly how to do, Hatton is taking things very personal, imo that will lead to a blip in focus and on the night he mentally could be out of it. I wont be surprised if this fight is over before it starts if Hatton keeps taking things to heart.

 

Also, this isnt about losing friends, i expect to have plenty of arguements with mates who dont even know Mayweather from Adam as to why such and such will happen. If you cant argue without getting your knickers in a twist then dont

 

oi dunky, i hardly think you can call my post 'trying to put you in your place', just wanted to express that i as a scot support Hatton all the way, i havent read over the forum much so aint clued up on each poster etc.

just letting our english friends know that some(most from my own exprience) scots are right behind the hitman, and that we all know how hard a task he has.

 

Why would Ricky hate the scots? Isn't Alex Arthur his mate?

 

I read somewhere that Alex Arthur is picking PBF to win the fight. I agree that Ricky is a nice lad but this is not about being a nice lad or liking someone. The facts and records clearly show PBFG is a much better fighter than Ricky. Deep down in his heart Ricky knows this as well. I cannot even truly say PBF is the best in Britain at this weight. You all who he has shamefully avoided.

 

Yeah Arthur said In Boxing Monthly he thinks Floyd will win.

Dunky, If you've watched this video It will make you a Hatton supporter.

 

Healy - I totally disagree. IN the US Hatton did his usual thing, spoke well of his opponent, and made a fat joke against himself. He then just laughed through PBFs banal insults.

In the London conference he was Hatton as usual, joking about, did the bunny ears thing and brought the head phones as another light hearted prop.

Only in Manchester would I say he was unlike his normal self and seemed to rise to the crowd and end up speaking in a way where he seemed pissed off and as if PBF had annoyed him. But PBF seemed annoyed in the US one when Hatton would not respond.

Saying he doesn't know whether to chew gum or wear head phones is ridiculous, it is like saying "PBF doesn't know whether to wear a suit or jeans or a Man U top"...it is an irrelevant detail.

As I said in Manchester Hatton was probably foolish and was not as much himself and some of it was ill advised. But frankly it doesn't matter what happens at these conferences, come fight night no matter what, Hatton will give it everything and he will come up short because he is fighting the best fighter on the planet and one of the most gifted fighters of all time.

 

Isnt it amazing 10 pages over a bleedin' press conference

 

You can see how far PBF has got under Hattons skin when Floyd is dancing on the Town Hall steps...Hatton and Billy Graham just look at each other and start laughing!!

I see Dunky is using flattery and the old 'its us against the world' trick when recruiting for his merry band of Floyd fans....;O)

 

I loved that post.

Well, im going to be on PBF's side for 2 reasons, non press related, i love the style of boxing Floyd has and hate the style Hattons has.

So if that makes me a musketeerss, then so be it!:yep

 

I took Leonard over Hagler for the same reasons.

Or should it be The Dunkerteers!?
