Is it just me or did Floyd seem nervous at the Press Conference with Ricky Hatton? I could have sworn he was mispronouncing words, such as referring to the MGM Grand as the MGM "Gram" (no pun intended). Floyd's hands were all twitching around and when he danced, it wasn't even very good. I've seen other press conferences with Floyd, and he looked just plain nervous to me.
You have lost your mind, Moz. Baldomir is limited, but big and strong and virtually indestructible. In fact, if Hatton wasn't careful, he would get KO'd Gatti-style.
Limited is an understatement. How he got past Judah remains a great mystery and he then went on to struggle past Gatti. I seem to remember having Gatti ahead on my scorecard when Baldomir eventually stopped him and it was not a victory derived from skill or technique. Hatton would take a UD against Baldomir giving away a maximum of 3 rounds.
I think Hatton would have had trouble with Judah and Baldomir.
I definitely agree!!! Judah would've gave him hell for only about 4 rounds but possibly could stop him. Baldo's would more than likely over power Hatton with his physical strength.
Oscar fights at 154 now, has went as high as 160. Shane started at 135 and fought as high as 154...has fought at 154 for years.
No point again. Just another spin job you're doing. Floyd fans... tsk.
Oscar started at 130. What in the world are you getting at.
That's flawed logic. Floyd started his career at 130 for god's sake. That doesn't mean he has more raw strength then Hatton. Not the least bit. Not even the slighest. Not even the teeniest.
Get the point?
So did Oscar, you willing to bet that Hatton has more raw strength than Oscar?
How about Roberto Duran?
They both started lower than Hatton, but I assume that they have (or had in the case of Duran) more raw strength than Hitman Hatton.
I am NOT saying Floyd is as strong as these dudes though.
My guess is that the power differential won't be super significant, with a slight power edge going one way or another, idk who to.
Haha. You know what I mean. I keep hearing talk of Hatton being the smaller guy. Fuck that.
He's shorter... and he really might be the less muscular of the two. Remember, he has been rolling with 140 pounds of muscle for a long time (except for against Collazo), and Floyd had 148 pounds against ODLH. All that rehydration shit doesn't do much for the way of power.
Where does Hatton go after he beats Mayweather? Who lines up best for him?
I say he takes a page outta Hopkins book and drops back to 140. Unifies and just remains until p4p1 opens up. Just like all the rest, Protect th 0 and eventually ur the man!
Hatton is thicker and more functionally stronger then Mayweather.
my opinion...
But FACT.
I don't think anyone is going to dispute the issue of thickness.
But he comes into fights @ 150, doesnt that make him the bigger man =P
Dwiens, the only Floyd Fan who makes any sense, which is why it makes little sense for him to be a floyd fan :puppy_dog
God I love having that honor bestowed on me:
The only Floyd fan who makes any sense.
Lol at Ricky putting on his ' Floyd proof ' headphones..Rick is looking really relaxed and confident at all these press conferences but inside he'll be boiling up..

"Floyd Proof" headphones...lol
did he actually say that???
:boxing: Thats funny that, as I and many other English boxing fans had DLH the winner at least a draw..Mayweather was never the winner in that fight or The Castillo fight :boxing:
Now this is getting desperate when you actually disavow aknown outcome in those fights. But hey then there's Collazo and and Ricky isn't there?

LMAO
Floyds taking this way too seriously imo which makes him look like an idiot when someone just laughs in his face
I think Oscar is a lot to bite off. I think Hatton should stick to small welters if he stays at 147, he is awfully short for the division.
But he comes into fights @ 150, doesnt that make him the bigger man =P
