Mayweather-Hatton Bout is Getting Close.

Dymipepel, if he counts.

 

Nah, he's just a troll.

 

REED, ofcourse,.. he's a passionate and unrelenting apologist and strategist, who acts like an agent and spy for Fraud's dictating stronghold OVER boxing and it's fans. :nono: !!!

 

Lots of people here think that they're one of the most objective posters on the board. That doesn't automatically make it true.

Ron King gambles a lot. Would you say that he's rather objective? I think not.

Are you saying that there aren't fighters that you like? That there aren't fighters you dislike? That there is nothing about the sport to bitch about?

 

there's only a few things in life worth being objective about. boxing is not one of them.

 

That's him, I am not Ron King. I bet against guys I like all the time. is there fighters I like and dislike? Yes, but never so much that I feel like a guy never deserves credit for a big win or achievement. Also never so much that I wouldn't bet against a guy. I have bet against my "favorite" fighter several times. Some people may think they are objective (some are, others aren't), but the fact is I know I am. I don't need some guy trying to question me about it who I never even post to.

 

:doh: If you are a fan of something or passionate about something you should try being objective.

Agreed.

 

You gotta love his honesty though. He's far more honest in his opinions than most peope on this site. He doesn't give a shit what people think, he just states his opinion. I like that about Double.

 

So far we have a consensus...that Mayweather will win :doh:

Can't agree on wether this is a copout fight for Mayweather.

Can't agree on who would be a tougher fight for Mayweather.

But I haven't read a single post in this thread saying that Hatton will win this fight.

I'm not going to be that guy either, but this CAN'T possibly be a 100-0 split!

Somebody MAN UP! Otherwise this'll be boring no matter how long it gets talked about. :cheer::stir:

 

I am picking Hatton, for real, not just because I am a floyd hater.

And for the record, I would pick Floyd against everyone else at 147 with the possible exception of williams and MAYBE mosley.

He would beat marge and everyone else, and cotto even though cotto would beat hatton.

Hatton is a tough determined bastard with the style to beat floyd, it's as simple as that. He'll be in floyd's face from beginning to end, and not give him a chance to get his rhythm and potshot.

There's a reason why rugged little fighters like jesus chavez had more success than far more talented fighters like corrales, they were not patiently picking shots, they got in floyd's face which is what you need to do.

If I can get good enough odds on hatton I'll bet on it too.

 

Mayweather must let his hands go because pot shotting wont work against Hatton. He will simply have to get brave and FIGHT! I hope this fight comes off. I would love to see this prick finally lose. I hope Hatton clinch humps the hell out of fraud!

 

I am a fan of both fighters, but I think Hatton is getting a painful and educative dose of boxing reality here.
I don't think Floyd will stop him though, as Hatton is tough, but Ricky takes a real drubbing here en route to a wide points loss.

 

Chavez had success? I guess more than Corrales did. but for the most part, he took a drubbing. and like Hatton, he was shorter than PBF too. that's the kiss of death against PBF.

 

Nope...Shorter fighters always gave PBF trouble. Chavez, Vargas, Hernandez, Judah, and that argentinian dude he fought in grand rapids.

Against tall fighters like NDou, Corrales, carlos gerena, Genaro hernandez, and Oscar :tease: its easy work for Floyd.

 

Vargas gave him trouble, but ODH was easy work? :laughing: As far as Hernandez, are you saying it was Carlos' height, not PBF's broken hands, that gave him trouble? ::

 

Yes Carlos height gave him problems because Floyd kept punching the top of his big ass salvadorian dome. Nah Oscar wasn't easy work but Floyd has had harder fights. Anyways my point remains firm. History tells us that taller fighters are easier work for Floyd therefore you saying Hatton is short so he'll be an easy mark for PBF is wrong.

 

He managed to win a few rounds and make floyd look briefly troubled, which is, of course, a lot more than poor Chico managed.

Floyd likes time and room to work, he doesn't like pressure.

Hatton has the best style of anyone to beat Floyd. And Tall Paul purely for being such a huge lanky bastard with insane stamina.

 

You got it

Well put Mex!:bears:

 

dont get your hopes up to high my friend, and try not to make to many ridiculous threads about what happens, and if hatton wins, i know it has to get old having to remove your foot from your mouth so often

 

:stir:

 

Anyone bitching about this great fight is a worthless piece of shit.

Thank you, thank you very much.

 

Ricky Hatton is a top 10 P4P fighter. Margarito, Williams, Mosley are not.

Mosley had his chance last year but passed it because he had an apointment with her dentist the same day the fight was being made. Margarito and Williams are OK, big solid Welters but they don't give Floyd more than Hatton as far as legacy and money. Hatton is THE CHAMP at 140, undefeated... the only chapter Floyd needs to close.

 

So you admit that you like and dislike fighters. That's part of being a fan. Just because Double L and others are more passionate about whom they like and dislike doesn't make them less of a fan than you.

 

The fact that he can separate all that to make worthy opinion makes him a true fan.

More passion? It takes passion for the sport to be a real boxing fan. It only takes passion for DLH and Castillo to be a Double L.

 

No doubt.

 

that doesn't mean shit. compare Hatton's performance against Collazo with Mosley's. you think Hatton is a bigger threat than Mosley?

you may have justification for PBF's choice of Hatton, but nobody in his right mind would claim that Hatton is a tougher fight for PBF than those guys.

basically, you're saying, "Hatton is a P4P guy. Williams, Margarito and Mosley are not. therefore, the fact that those guys are bigger threats to PBF's undefeated record is forgivable." ::

let's not get "too" wrapped up in the whole P4P thing, okay?

btw, it's pretty funny that you take a jab at my fandom, when the only thing you ever discuss on this board is PBF and how nobody can touch him.

 

Hatton did better against Castillo than Floyd right? Hmmmmm, I guess that means he should win:bears: BTW, Hatton is easily a bigger threat than Slow ass Margarito. I would pick Margarito "probably" to beat Hatton but Hatton has a better shot of beating Floyd.
