Tszyu all the way. I think he'll beat Hatton down easy. All he has to worry about is those crazy english fans who will be throwing beer bottles at him when he lays Hatton out. As soon as Tszyu knocks Hatton out, he should run his ass out the ring before he gets smacked in the head with a bottle :-P (Just joking people from England)

hey you might not be able to drink in the arena but i bet there will be plenty of ppl that will go to the fight drunk anyhow. It starts at 2am! So if they don't throw bottles they might tear up the seats and throw them . Run kostya run! lol
tszyu will win in 8

Zoo all the way. Hatton still has a lot to prove and fighting Kostya this early isn't the answer.

I think there's a very strong possibility this fight could go to the score cards... And I'd have to lean towards Ricky boy on sheer work rate!
I really hope that Ricky boy get's the credit he deserves "IF" he pulls off an upset.
I will be SOOOO PISSED OFF!!!... If all the Yanks that aren't giving Ricky a hope in hell's chance, say after - "Oh well, Kostya Tszyu merely got old over night", or "Kostya Tszyu was never that good anyway".
I'm a Ricky Hatton fan... So this maybe a little bit of hope talking - But I can smell a little upset coming.
Ricky is a lot better than people are giving him credit for... And everyone say's he ONLY fights bums. That's not entirly true.
I wouldn't say that Harris's, Witter's, Gatti's, Mayweather's opposition in there last 2yrs/3-4 fights is very different in level to that of Hatton's.
If Hatton had fought and blasted out of there Corley, Bruselles, Phillipe "the pudding" Ndou, Urkal, Branco, Leija... They'd all be labelled as bums just like Oliveira/Tackie/Phillips/Stewert/Magee are.
Man I'm starting to waffle... LOL!...

All I'm trying to say is that people really point the finger at Ricky Hatton and say he's crap, (I think a little unfairly).
I reckon it may have something to do with him being able to sell 20,000 seats everytime he fights. That's alway's gonna make other fighters jealous.

OK, If you wanna know why I reckon Ricky boy has a very good chance of winning this fight against Kostya Tszyu:
1. The Mitchell fight flattered Kostya Tszyu. Shamba Mitchell was just starting to show signs of being a little shot, and Lovemore Ndou exposed this about 18 months before the Tszyu vs Mitchel II fight took place. + Take a look at Mitchell vs Stewert and 6 months later Hatton vs Stewert. There's a huge difference between the way those two fights are won.
2. Kostya Tszyu is 36yrs old and Ricky Hatton is 26yrs old. No one has ever been able to stop Ricky setting a fast pace to date, I reckon there's a strong chance Kostya Tszyu won't be able to either.
3. Ricky Hatton is a BIGLight-welterweight. He's not gonna be easy to bully around the ring the way Kostya has done to other opponents.
4. I'll get back to you on the rest... Her in doors is calling... LOL!Last edited by Martin (Top Knowledge); 05-11-2005, 01:18 PM.
