Forbes: Hatton underrated

[.Mik.]

Ok, im gonna make an educated guess here, i dont think im hating when i say this.

I dont think Ricky Hatton is faster than Floyd Mayweather.

lol.

I'm going to make an educated guess here and state, quite clearly, that nobody said he was.

Steve Forbes thinks his speed more than compares with Mayweather's.

Forbes has sparred with Mayweather and he thinks Ricky has hand and foot speed to 'more than compare' and angles to 'throw anyone off'.

Think you guessed wrong.

first off why is Forbes a sparring partner for Hatton when he reflects nothing of Castillo? and second, Ricky is the man, but I hope he gets hit ass beat down by Castilllo, he is overrated, overhyped, a closet ***, and and big mouth who should just keep it shut....talking 147 was to big for him (truth is 140 is to hard for him to make) when he just got almost schooled by a fighter who isn't even a top 5 in the WW division. Then he goes a says he'll fight DLH at 154...haha no respect for that ****.

This could be true but I really dont pay much attention to what sparring partners say immediatly after its over. If they had a nice relationship then the guy will certainly not bad mouth the fighter and they usually boost them up.

Bingo. The only time you'll hear a sparring partner talk **** is if they're an ex-sparring partner, as in, thrown out of camp.

Sparring partner's opinions are usually meaningless in general, even though they are better qualified than most others to comment. But rather than be objective, it's almost always one extreme ("the best he's ever looked. So and so is in big trouble come Month ##") or the other ("He's garbage. I put him on his ass every time I touched him. He's getting knocked out.")

Perhaps you ought to re-evaluate your definition of the phrase 'to compare with'.

Just because they have speed in common, doesnt necessarily mean that they are equal.

Your boundaries are too slim.

I may be obnoxiously annoying at...the internet. So might you be. Our annoyingness may be comparable. Doesnt mean that I'm necessarily more annoying than you. Even "more than comparable" only suggests that they are more comparable under greater scrutiny (ie, more in common than under initial investigation, perhaps even more equal. Still doesnt necessarily mean that I'm MORE annoying than you).

In this situation it is quite obvious and blatant that the meaning is "the features of their handspeed is comparable...ie...they are both fast.

I saw this one coming, more than compares, can mean better because its more than comaparable, we both know what it meant in this circumstance, but if you wanna go down the subjective route thats fine.

When you get top fighters, the speed of the hands is too close, your talking hundreths of a second. PBF is certainly fast and faster than Hatton. But Hatton just might be the fastest PBFS ever faced. But Hatton would bring other things to the table as well as his comparable speed.
Hatton has a kind of an aura surrounding him and that might affect how PBF is able to perform on the day.
On one occasion when they met, Hatton had his feet on the chair in front of him and PBF tried walking past and Hatton didnt get his feet off the chair so PBF couldnt get past. Hatton isnt scared of PBF that is for sure and might have already won some kind of phycological fight.

wow he had his feet on the chair! hatton by ko in 1 round!

1) Zab judah is way faster than Hatton

2) Hatton apparently lied about that story, i read somewhere he didnt put his feet up and that Mayweather simply cussed him out and refused to shake his hand,

3) Mayweather is not scared of hatton, but i think he is genuinely upset at the way his name has been **********d by hatton to promote his own fights and convince his fans he actually wants big fights.

I think that we both know in all honesty that nobody in here thinks that Hatton is faster than PBF. You are reading it one way simply so that you can dispute it.
