cutting large amounts of weight definitely has a negative effect on stamina. cutting for the weight-in in the mistaken belief that when they then put a stone of more on for the fight they'll be punching like a middle weight is crazy.
there should be fight day weight ins, that would stop people moving up and down weights so much.

The main event of the Five Diamond classic starts on the 13th, so the week before when ricky is fighting (8th) they will have all the lead up events $1-5k. Something to aim for if I get a decent score maybe?  does anyone know the best way to get hold of tickets etc? Where can i sattelite into the five diamond classic? |

Reading between the lines it appears as though Ricky's gameplan will be centred around being able to physically dominate Mayweather. Graham says he sees Mayweather as a natural lightweight so I'm guessing he perceives Hatton to have an edge in natural strength. Hatton is at his best when he is able to dominate and manhandle his opponents, he did this against Castillo (another natural lightweight) and to a lesser extent Tszyu who couldn't cope with his intensity. He has however struggled against Collazo a naturally bigger man and Urango who was a beast, he was unable to exert any physical domination in those fights and struggled (I know he beat Urango easily but was far from impressive). I also expect Hatton to come in well within the 147 limit, infact I wouldn't be surprised if he was closer to 140 than 147.

Lol at the Verbals starting already
Hatton takes the piss out of Mayweather for starring in a ballroom dancing show, Mayweather responds by calling him Vicky Fatton.

just watched all the press conference and interviews and the closer this gets, the bigger chance I give Ricky Hatton.
Mayweather really trys to rattle Hatton and he just laughs at him. Mayweather thinks this is a gimme and he's going to get a shock.

As much as i'd like to believe Hatton can do the bussiness mayweather WILL slaughter him i just cant see any other result. Aslo I think that the verbal IS getting to Hatton, if you go to youtube and watch the sky sports news segment on it Ricky seems a bit affected when giving them an interview immediatly after the confrence, he seems especialy tongue tied when asked about the verbal he's just recieved

If Mayweather wins, I very much doubt it'd be via a stoppage.
