Hatton and Mayweather exchange insults

[Amir K Shareef]

I wonder if these two really hate each other or if this is just like Oscar and Floyd's fight. They are putting on a show to sell the fight. My guess, it's all a show and that they really don't hate each other and are just trying to sell this fight.

you know they going to give each other a hug after the final bell rings

[squealpiggy]

he sure aint coming to win

Stop being a ****.

Hatton is coming to win. Whether he does or he doesn't will be decided on the night, but he sure as hell isn't expecting to lose. He's confident he'll win and so are his fans.

They probably are, I hate them putting on a show before the fight and then after the fights over they hug each other. Man, I know your happy because we all know Mayweathers going to win. I really wished Hatton could win, but Hatton's too ****** to win. Hatton's underestimating Mayweathers power. Just like Kessler is underestimating Calzaghes power. Both Mayweather and Calzaghe hit harder then what people give credit to them for. Mayweather had a big ass fighter like Oscar hurt, since Oscar back off a couple of times!!! And he's the bigger boxer!!! I swear Oscar was afraid of getting ko'd by the smaller fighter in his fight with floyd, he sure fought like that in my opinion.

I disagree. Hatton knows that he is losing.

of course his fans think he will win because they dont know what floyd is capabile of.....i think ricky really beleives his own hype... he needs to sit down and think ... say this to his self... if i was a fan and floyd was fighting hatton who would i pick??? he would say FLOYD!!

I'm sorry, are you suggesting that the best way for Hatton to approach this fight is to convince himself that he can't win it? Never go into teaching. It isn't for you.

yup, he needs to just face the facts.... he should just approach it with a loser mentallity.....he would have a better chance that way..

Wow. You think that Hatton is coming to lose?

This is why Hatton can't be believed:

Today Hatton said:

Hatton: "I'm really grateful to Floyd for finally giving me this opportunity to stage my skill against the pound4pound best in the world. Even though I really feel like we should have already met a few times over the past few years."


When Hatton's Father clearly said:

Father and business manager openly admitted they turned down the chance to at least negotiation for a Mayweather fight in 2004. "That was the one fight, style wise, which I thought we needed a few more fights before taking," said father Ray Hatton.

And then in 2006:

Hatton said: "There'll be more pressure to fight Mayweather now from the Americans because, obviously, there's one less big fight out there for Floyd Mayweather now Zab Judah has lost. But a fight with Mayweather has always been very high up the agenda for us; but we still want one or two fights in America before we get to Mayweather. If anything, Judah's loss has make us even more attractive in the marketplace."

He said: "Richard needs the experience of training aboard for a fight for the very first time, getting used to that, he needs to have the experience of doing everything the American television and media will expect him to do, getting used to the different time zones, fighting in front of an American crowd - all that.

"And I don't want him to have to deal with all that for the very first time and fight someone like Mayweather as well. Richard isn't a big head, he's got no ego on him, and he will tell you himself that Mayweather is the biggest danger out there for him. That's why he wants to fight Mayweather most of all now he's already beaten Kostya Tszyu, who was the No.1 before Ricky beat him. So, when Richard does fight Mayweather I want Richard comfortable with where he's training and everything else that goes with having a big fight in America."

Listen, I know I'm a stickler. but i can't allow Ricky to outright lie like that without bringing it up. THEY WERE OFFERED FIGHTS. They turned down fights. Hatton kept asking for tuneups. And now Hatton says "we should have fought by now". WTF?!

Ricky Hatton is a liar.

What does this have to do with anything? Are you $in? Recently your posts have become more and more hysterical. For a while you were trying to give Hatton credit, now you're back to trashing him at every single opportunity.

This thread, filled with replies from ignorant American teenage 'fans' has reminded me why i stopped coming to this forum.

I won't even begin to argue against some of the idiocy here, i'll leave it to you piggy.

Bye.
