fantastic. can't wait.
a lot of people say Hatton has no chance but I think he's make it a blood & guts war and will stiffle Mayweather. I'll be putting a pound or two on Hatton and expect to get decent odds.
Go on Ricky

Fair play to Hatton for taking this fight. I think he will be given a boxing lesson by Mayweather but have to give him credit for going after the best out there. Will be interesting to see how this one gets priced up. Oh and the verbal sparring in the build up should be good  |

Oh and the verbal sparring in the build up should be good don't forget he wasn't given a chance by most against tyszu. the man is a warrior, mayweather won't knock him out and hatton will do enough work to win on points. he will be in supreme condition to, god i am excited, what a fight!!! |

Oh and the verbal sparring in the build up should be good I agree in bold, but I doubt there be any verbal sparring as Ricky usually just ignores the wind up mearchants. Cannae wait  |

yeah, ricky hatton has more class in his left buttock than mayweather and won't get involve in a battle of words. he'll smile, crack a gag or two and let mayweather work himself up into a froth then maul him in the ring.
win or lose, ricky hatton is the better man here

Has everyone forgotten who Maywether is? This guy HAS beaten a LOT better than Hatton.
Like Adam says if Hatton puts in a blood and guts performance it could be a serious ruck but theres a danger that if it goes tactical it will turn into a show fight like the de la hoya fight.
Why does Hatton hold so much at world class level? he never used to fight like that.

it's not so much holding as leaning on and crowding. it's done to interupt the other guys rhythm and set up short hooks. Matweather will find it hard to land straight punches on Hatton, who'll be pressing for 12 rounds. Biggest danger for me is the judges.

You talking about the holding in the last fight? Have a look at the fight again and see what Hatton's doing when they are up close and 'holding'. Very clever work going on there, far more than just grabbing on and waiting for the ref to split them up. Mayweather has fought some decent fighters, but who's he beaten who is A LOT better than Hatton? Baldomir? Corrales? Mitchell? Juuko? A past it Gatti or De La Hoya?  |

Who has he actually fought in their prime? Hatton is very good, and he has beaten who has been put in front of him. PBF a huge favourite IMO |

PBF a huge favourite IMO I didn't say Hatton had beaten anyone A LOT better than Mayweather. I just wondered who you were referring to? It will be Hatton's biggest fight. I also think it will be Mayweather's. |
