I know its already been said and discussed but I have just heard from a very good source that the November 10th date is correct, the final negotiations are very nearly complete and expect official announcement over the next few days.
The location will be Vegas again, just booked my flight from UK for an affordable £330.
Cant wait for the fight of the decade and all our questions will be answered.
is funny how all u mafuckas wanted floyd 2 fight hatton he was runnin from him, scared, ducking, now when he takes the fight he's runnin from shane "the sparring partner" mosley get fuckin serious..shane could have been had this fight he was scared..aint shit gone be diffrent now..hatton gone get whooped and so will sparring partner..yall bitches luv floyd 2 much give him his dick back..hatin ass bitches
A few things:
(1) Hatton better not be on too long of a vacation...once he found out PBF was serious about taking the fight, he should have decided to get in the gym and stay there until fight week. I don't mean in actual training, as it would be insane to recommend a 4-month training camp, but at least staying in shape for a month or so with light workouts daily before ramping up into full training mode.
(2) I will give Floyd credit for taking this fight, no matter the weight or locale. Great fight, great for boxing, IF it is indeed close to official. If this gets done for Nov.10, what an incredible first two weeks of November, with Calzaghe-Kessler for Nov.3 and possibly PBF-Hatton Nov.10. HBO would be crazy to not buy the Calzaghe-Kessler fight in light of this, budget schmudget.
(3) People need to stop ripping Mosley. How can you say he is scared of Floyd? This is a guy who moved up TWO weight classes to take on a top 3 P4P guy (DLH), fought Forrest when no one else would and then immediately rematched him after getting dominated, fought Winky for chump change considering the money that was on the table for a third fight with DLH, and then immediately rematched him after getting dominated. That doesn't sound like a guy afraid to lose or get embarrased (as he did in the first fights with Forrest and Winky). Let's not forget how much bigger Winky is than Mosley, either. So perhaps Mosley turned down an opportunity to fight Floyd last year, but how can you criticize Mosley for turning down that fight and not Floyd for turning down Margarito? Whether or not he passed on a fight (and let's not forget, perhaps the terms of a fight were not ideal, either), no one can accuse Mosley of being scared, his track record proves otherwise.
(4) I really hope this gets signed. I was worried that after Hatton's momentum slowed down a bit since an extra couple of weeks have passed after his big win that talks were stalling and would die, but perhaps not. Boxing needs this fight.
that was after the second vargas fight when shane decided to pass up 10 million to fight floyd in november so oscar could make 50million in may. shane is an idiot he made less then 2 million fighting collazo while oscar and floyd both increased their earings.
2007 top money earners:
1. oscar 55 million
2. floyd 26 million
3. shane 2 million
shane is going to have to wait or try and pick up a title from ciontron or cotto to make a floyd fight interesting.
Both Cintron and Cotto going to beat up Shane pretty badly they are both punchs and bigger than Shane
I would love to see this fight, Hattons my fave fighter and you gotta respecy Floyd, but the word on the grapevine here in Manchester is that hattons representatives are in negotiations with malignaggi
this sucks....Floyd is gonna beat Hatton and duck the real challenger...sugar shane
sorry to be the bearer of bad news to all you ***s out there
but floyd been challenged mosley and mosley REFUSED
he said he wanted to rethink his situation and take a year off and he didnt even do that
he opted to fight collazo instead
mosley is the pussy in this situation he didnt want it with mayweather and now he suddenly does???
well he's gonna have to wait in line
Your right, cuz he was so pumped up after he knocked out Vargas, it was like when Larry mentioned Floyd his whole demeanor changed, and his tooth started throbbing lol.
i would be happier seeing mayweather vs mosley but im not mad at mayweather for pickin hatton..i want mayweather to fuck hatton up real nice..but man..haters r unbeliveable..like i said in another thread, they wont be satisfied unless mayweather fought every top 10 welterweight in the same night!
I remember that shit, larry Merchant asked him if a fight with Mayweather was on the table, his bitch ass said "well right now my tooth hurts, so I'm gonna take some time to rest up, he should fight margarito", it was after the Collazo fight if I'm not mistaken, it's wrong of yall to say Floyd is ducking Mosley when I know I'm not the only one who saw that.:smashfrea
dude we know your a floyd fan... but floyd using the past as an excuse not to fight shane mosley is weak.. he is the man to beat right now at 147.. lets get real...
Why? Because he beat Luis Collazo?
Where were you guys when Shane didn't want to fight Floyd because "my tooth, my tooth hurts".
Seriously, I'm probably a bigger fan of Shane than Floyd. But I can't turn my head when Floyd kept yelling "Shane" and Mosley didn't want it.
"I need a couple more fights," Shane Mosley then unto "My tooth hurts".
Shane your a veteran, why they hell would you need a couple more fights?
Floyd cant duck someone that he openly challenged. Everyone knows that Shane turned the fight down so why do people try to spin it like that didnt happened. Since that time Shane has beat Collazo and Floyd has beat Oscar. What exactly couldve happened to make Floyd shook all of assudden. The fact is Floyd saw how Hatton packed the house and saw someone who he could really sell with. I dont think the Mosley fight is out the window. Infact, I think it gets even bigger now. Say Floyd beats Hatton and in the meantime Shane beats Cintron for his title and looks great again. Then that fight would be huge.
The thing is that people are hating on the guy on a whole new level now. I remember when everyone thought that Mosley would be the fight and everyone called Floyd a scared punk who is fighting old guys and ducking the young lions. Now he picks the young lion and they rip him the other way. He cant win Your right!!!!!
I know its already been said and discussed but I have just heard from a very good source that the November 10th date is correct, the final negotiations are very nearly complete and expect official announcement over the next few days.

You must be talking about going to watch Vargas v Mayorga because fight of the decade dont aply when your talking about a one sided thrashing!!! It will be just like PBF v DLH which was not even close to fight of the decade!!! Vargas Mayorga will have way more excitment in it!!!
Hatton will be schooled he has poor defence and lacks the skill to beat pbf!!!

I wont believe it until fight night. Unlike others i have to give Floyd credit IF HE TAKES THIS FIGHT. My primary problem with Mayweather has been his avoidance of prime Championship caliber opposition. Once again, IF he signs and wins I'll give the guy credit, but I doubt it happens, and If they do meet I pick Hatton to TKO Mayweather in 10 rounds or less. Thus exposing the little Bastad for the fraud he is!!!
Fucking idiots.....
If you think that this is not a worthy fight..you need your head testing...
You can't do anything as a fighter on this web site..without some tosser finding a negative...
Change the fucking record
This fight isnt worth buying. I have no intrest in it. PBF is gonna kick hattons ass! Hatton wont win any rounds. I am sure PBF will destroy hatton as bad as he destroyed gatti. Keep in mind hatton is slower then gatti. Hatton is even slower then washed up gatti right now.
exactly... glad someone else sees this... I think floyds waitin until shane is close to retirement until he takes this fight, cuz he knows he gets beat now.. chump..
you do realize Floyd challenged Shane last year right? stop trying to see whatever is convenient for you as a Floyd hater. in the meantime, try one of these. :bottle: it'll help calm you down so you won't hate Floyd for beating greater than Roy.
