Rick's a natural showman.
I first thought he yelled "That's Fookin' Nice Of You!"
No doubt, the UK crowd can fire up any fighter.
It's the most enthusiastic crowd I've seen and heard.
I think he beat Oscar in the charisma dept. :boxing:
Maybe Hopkins is really smart and knows thats the only way to sell the fight to the US, who lets face it, aren't interested in Calzaghe at the moment.
Yea true m8!! But if he wants the fight he can have it! But B-Hop keeps selling himself out the fight with stupid demands..He aint the number Joe is.
yeah, it was cool.
See Calzaghe's face when Hopkin turned nasty. His demeanour changed when Hopkin went all Tyson on him.
Hopkins just looked like a fool..Hes just trying to get the fight. And earn as much money as he can from a loss.. Believe me If Joe got pissed with him he would drop B-Hop right there...Its the same kinda thing that Mayweather was doing to Hatton in the early promotion of the fight..Calzaghe will act the same way as Hatton! That kinda behavour will just make B-Hop look like a Dick which it did right? And if and when Joe fights in the U.S, The U.s fans will grow to like Joe aswell, As he is a good fella aswell!
the fans were great tonight alot of tension on that stage with all the golden boy fighters .............
Yea it looked it m8! It looks like boxing is starting to rise again,Its a shame about Hopkins though havin to lower the tone. I have enough respect for him but his comments to Calzaghe slighty tainted my view of him.
Easy fight for mayweather tomorrow.......
but just to prove that heart isnt enough...im sending all my heart to hatton so he can have double the heart.....
lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....
fucken hatton .....
oscar gassed up hattons head......
24/7 gassed up the rest of you morons.........
this will be one of floyds easiest fights.........
hatton will freeze in this fight...........
people will come back here after the fight saying........
why wasnt hatton rushing...why wasnt he throwing any punches ...some thing was wrong with him...he didnt look right......
im gonna give u the answer now..besides everything........
mayweather is light years above in skill.......
its easy to have heart when you always fight in your backyard... how many quality fighters can hatton have fought in england.........
only 2 quality fighters on his resume are tzou and castillo...thats it ..out of 40 some odd fights..
no matter what hatton has done in any fight in his carrer ..he will do none of that tomorrow night.......
people lose their minds with the wishing process.......
it takes more energy out of you to rush than to sit back and counter...
hatton is gonna get hit 5 times to perhaps land 1....
hatton is not a volume puncher.......
hatton is not a knockout puncher.......
hattons knockouts are by attrition.......
the one and only he had where he really hurt someone with one punch was castillo........
no matter what hatton says on 24/7....
if u watched him box before...or even wached his training sessions on 24/7...hatton throws his punches wide....
no matter what his cornerman says ..... hatton is one dimensional....
watch any of his fights and try to tell me otherwise....
im gonna tell you the same thing i told you months ago when the fight got signed and before oscar gassed up hattons head and 24/7 gassed up yours....
if u break this fight down technically and analyze it....
the only thing hatton has in his favor is that mayweather fights worse agaisnt shorter fighters.........
but tomorrow night floyd will be pumped to impress...after dancing with the stars promotion bit...
and the fact that alot of great fights took place this year ....
mayweather is closing out the show........
hatton gets knocked out in the 7th round.........
and we can than begin to let the air out of hatton fans heads........
"" NiCCA DONT GET GASSED ""
lol.........well we'll see about the "heart" thing tommorrow night.
Didn't imply Floyd doesn't have heart...ie..willpower and guts. IMO he doesn't have it in the quantity that Hatton does. Yessss....an overwhelming skill advantage will take the fight. But, I don't think Floyd's skill advantages are so great that it will negate Hatton's will. The fact is that Hatton has skills too. He's very underrated on this.
Just saw Oscar v. Floyd again. Scored by rounds:
1. Floyd
2. Oscar
3. Oscar
4. Oscar
5. Floyd
6. Oscar
7. Oscar
8. Oscar
9. Floyd
10. Floyd
11. Floyd
12. Floyd
6 rounds to 6 with Floyd winning all the closing rounds. Split decision in favor of Floyd was an accurate decision.

That is exactly what a lot of people said about Pavlic and Taylor. They were wrong.........never underestimate the power of "heart." Hatton has that category wrapped up. Let's just put it this way. I'd rather have the heart than the reach. It's that important.
That is a very poor comparison.
my heart says hatton, head says mayweather

I tell ya what lets bet on what was said m8!! all ya points, Just pass erm over
I don't care what was said I care about the outcome of the fight. Are you willing to bet budd?
my heart says hatton, head says mayweather
Thats how I am as well. I want Ricky to win, but I think Floyd is just too good and too fast. Either way I see this being a very, very ugly fight. If Ricky has his way it will be a rough fight full of holding and pushing...basically a mugging. If Floyd has his way it will look like an easier version of the Oscar fight, with Floyd just being too slick and avoiding any real fighting.
Yeah. He's kicking the ass of whoever talked him into the beating of his life.
Graham better watch out!!
LoL:boxing: you have some good lines you do make me chuckle:boxing:
