Why I think Floyd is hurting.

His own fault for the **** he was saying on the press tour. if he loses he will be humiliated even more. Hopefully the new generation will learn from it to respect your opponents

 

You make a lot of good points, however I don't think Floyd's public persona issues will effect him in that ring. Losing is not an option for him in this fight. Everything he's built himself up to be as a fighter will be crushed with a loss in this fight. Hatton better go in there in try to win using a superior gameplan rather than hoping Floyd fights a dumb fight.

 

Exactly what i'm thinking. Hatton is forcing him to do what he did in the Jesus Chavez fight....bringing out that insecurity...that bravado he has about himself.

Sorta marty mcfly ish ...chicken idea. NOw there is a chance, especially of PBF gets behind, Hatton will get his type of fight.

 

Totally agree, i exect best floyd tonight.

BEcause of the style clash i still think ricky has enough but he'll need to box at 100%

 

all this crap goes out the window once hatton hits him with a good punch then floyd will punish him till he does the drunken dance pt 2 like he did against collazo !

 

Floyd actually did alot of running in that Chavez fight. He would fight on the inside, get his shots in, and when he felt Chavez was getting in too many shots, he started moving and picking him off on the outside.

 

This was the same scenario in the DLH/Mayweather fight. It won't affect Floyd, however it could pursuade the judges. The judges in that fight had it alot closer than it should've been, they could've be pursuaded by the crowd.

 

So you think them ******ed football yobs who call themselves "Hatton fans" would have been watching "dancing with the stars? , they would have booed either way just like they booed Bernard, and most of the people who have tipped Hatton either hate Floyd out of jealousy or are promoting Vicky i.e the Golden girls!!, as i've said before people can't take a brash black man being on top in the game!!.. that's why i respect Shane Mosely as the stupid British press have been asking him to pick a winner and they expected him to say "Fatton" like the rest of the deluded fools but he said "he isn't picking no-one and he just hopes it's a good fight", i've even heard respected british boxing critics and boxers picking Floyd to win, so he's not as hated as people think, otherwise he would have been the first to be booted out of that reality show!! :deal ,

 

Nah HBO will not allow their main money getter to be robbed BigReg!!.. Floyd's safe with them, especially in his own back yard ,

 

Unless something drastic happens, Floyd will pretty much always be seen as the bad guy, that's just how it's going to be with him. There are alot of reason people don't like Floyd, one of the biggesst reasons is that everything goes his way. People would be much more forgiving of his antics if something bad happened to him every now and then. Nothing has happened to him to make him a sympathetic figure. Ali was similar to Floyd in that he was extremely arrogant and talented. He also constantly disrespected his opponents. They booed the **** out of him early in his career. People didn't start liking him until he decided not to go in the Army, and was kicked out of boxing. At that point he became a sympathetic figure.
