    Will both wear sombreros?

    What is the story with both trying to appeal to the Mexican crowd?

    With Hatton, it was two things: 1) Hatton has often been described as having a very Mexican style; one Mexican on here said after the Tsyzu fight that "If Hatton wasn't so pale, I'd say he had Mexican blood in him". Now, 2) Hatton admires a lot of Mexican boxers, and tries to emulate their courage in the the ring.

    I have no idea what it was in the case of Floyd, since he hardly fits either the attitude or fighting style of the stereotypical Mexican warrior.

    floyd wore a sombrero cuz his fight with DLH was on Cinco de Mayo a Mexican holiday..

    my guess is floyd had 50cent bring him to the ring singing some knock off of Fatton's song...

    Floyd wore the sombrero because May 5th was Cinco De Mayo and he was facing Mexican-American Oscar De La Hoya.

    Ricky wore a sombrero on June 23rd because he was facing Mexican Jose Luis Castillo and he was the "Manchester Mexican" on that night.

    --------------------------------------------------------

    I think Floyd will wear something to mock/**** off the Hatton faithful, and I think Hatton will go back to his regular attire.

    Floyd only did it because it was "cinco de mayo" and he also wanted the huge mexican pro Oscar crowd to be like...WTF is he doing?

    FLOYD VS. RICKY

    We might not be able to agree on who'll win, but there is one thing we can all agree on... They really look awful in Sombreros. Maye Mayweather could enter at the sound of "Blue Moon" and with the Union Jack on his trunks and Hatton could enter dancing with Floyd's dancing partner and ostrich-skin trunks?
