Ricky Hatton has been given an amazing advantage over Floyd Mayweather, according to Evander Holyfield.

The pair fight on December 8 in Las Vegas - but ahead of the clash, WBC welterweight champion Mayweather is to appear on US TV show 'Dancing with the Stars'.

Mayweather, 30, will devote two days a week to filming the reality TV show - which begins on September 24 and ends just two weeks before he faces unbeaten 'Hitman' Hatton, 28.

And Holyfield, who also appeared in the show two years ago, insisted: "I definitely wouldn't be thinking about trying to do that.

"They worked me harder than boxing.

"Dancing is a good work-out, but it's stressful on your mind to learn different dances. It's difficult."

But undefeated Mayweather declared: "It's an unreal, unbelievable opportunity. It's a new test, and I've got a lot to learn. It's a true test. But I can learn it.

"The dancing will help my boxing. It will help with my balance.

"The fight, I'm not really worried about. I know I can handle that."

Careful, champ.

If Mayweather still beats Hatton convincingly, that will say ALOT about Ricky.

It is AMAZING to me that the Hatton fans are putting Ricky's back against a wall.

Now that you layed out Floyd's possible excuses if he loses(which won't happen) here's Hatton's

1. Floyd was too big
2. He was too fast for me
3. He ran all night he didn't wanna trade with me
4. I should have won I blocked all his punches wit me face
5. If the fight was at 140 I would have beat him for sure

Easy one for PB.Hatton is 3 levels below PB in skill.Im never going to speak of pb til he fights someone who will give him a tough time.

So if he makes every fight look easy its a problem?

I think it is a mix of the two. Floyd does not fight THE BEST in the business. He fights pretty good fighters, guys who haven't lost in years (Baldomir 8 years, Corrales undefeated, Hatton undefeated, Chavez hadn't lost since his 4th fight or something like that), and he makes them look bad. But he doesn't fight the absolute best.

Roy Jones Jr. did the same. He beat pretty good competition (Reggie Johnson, Clinton Woods, etc.) but he never fought Tarver and Glen Johnson until after his heavyweight campaign. He always made his fights look like he was fighting a bum, and that hurt him.

We go thru the same thing all the time.You know why he picked hatton.

1.Of course we know the money and the fanbase.

2.Fighting a swinging punching bag.

3.PB knows Hattons going to try to pressure..PB just going to Shove his elbox down Hatton throat and push off land 2 flashy punches and win the round over and over.

4.Stop actin like Hatton is hes toughest challenge.We all know he is no where near pb caliber.

Someone said because floyds bigger, but I don't think floyds naturally bigger weight wise, since Hatton gets so huge when he's not not boxing. And I think floyd walks around at the same weight he boxes, atleast he looks like a little guy to me personally.
