Sugar: "Mayweather vs. Hatton Might Be The Fight Of The Decade"

Im sick of people constantly going back to that 12th round for ricky against collazo. Yes he was tired, and out on his feet, for some of the round. The FACT is that he got through the round and won the fight. Ricky had 5 WEEKS notice for the change in opponent, and put the weight on in the wrong way. It was a bad round, and an even worse fight for Ricky Hatton. He wont make the same mistake against floyd - argument over. Actually that clip is one of the latter rounds of the Urango fight, a fight in which Ricky won 11 rounds despite looking bad from the 9th.

I can't wait for this fight! I hope hatton can get in and mix it up with him.

this is bullshit! this fight should not happen.. floyd will run and make some fetus defence from the master bear hugger ricky!! ahehe! there will be no scoring!! :D:D:D

Dios alway reaches for this clip when he feels cornered. Not sure what he thinks he's proving. He doesn't know either.

Good for you, you found a clip of the 12th round of Hatton's first fight after moving up in weight and after Hatton punched himself out a bit early in the fight. If he goes 100mph a round like stated earlier in this thread how could he have punched himself out?

their is no other fighter on the planet who trains as hard as ricky does thats why he can go 100mph every round non stop attack.

This fight will be more entertaining than any B-Hop fight. In fact the build up has already surpassed that. Hahaha that is true.

good promotional video.

I'd be suprised if this was to be the fight of the decade. In what way if you don't mind me asking? I see a perfect conflict of styles. Perfect foils. Two guys of basically equal stature, comparable achievement, both undefeated, both in their prime.. All they need to do is give us a better than average fight and people will be raving.

Good ass post. Thats what made Ali and Frazier the best boxing rivalry to date. I see this match as somewhat of a present day version of that fight. If Hatton wins he shouldn't give him a rematch. That's the mistake Joe made.

People who think Floyd is boring are idiots. He IS boring when he is in against Bigger guys... Hatton is smaller. I mean, MAYWEATHER vs CHAVEZ, AUGUSTUS, NOUDO, and CORLEY were all VERY exciting fights. And Mayweather-Judah wasnt half bad either. that was a good fight. The reason i think this has a shot at being a FOTY type fight, is this. You gotta ask yourself these questions: Why does Ricky Hatton Clinch? -To get his man to the ropes where he does his best work. Mayweather ALWAYS fights off the ropes, he happens to be an exceptional fighter there. When you have a fight where both men are best against the ropes, one when his back is to them and the other when he's facing them, you get a brawl. What makes the best fights? -Ask anyone what the best Styles matchup is, they will say Boxer vs Puncher, Slickster vs brawler. Thats this fight! And do these guys LIKE eachother? -HELL NO!!! These guys are never gonna back down from eachother, this is legitimate hate. This isnt fake to sell tickets, these guys have been jawing at eachother for YEARS. Maybe they'll play it up a bit for the cameras in 24/7, but these 2 undoubtedly hate eachother. BOTH guys have GREAT personalities, this should be a HUGE event, this should be a GREAT NIGHT for boxing, and this fight should be a great one, maybe even one for the ages. Good ass post.

Is this facetious? Surely. But that's up to your interpretation.

I've been saying for awhile now this is the classic fight of our generation.
