Mayweather-Hatton Conference Thread

You obviously haven't ever heard Chinese or a 'common street thug speak'. There's lots of prizefighters that turn into bitches given the right opponent.

As for the rest of your post... I am guessing you are from the UK or nearby.

lol, I'm actually from Queens, NYC, and I laugh at people like Floyd from Michigan who think they're hard.

Back in my high school days when someone used to call me a pu**y, not only would I not be intimidated AT ALL, but rather I'd get infuriated and lace the person up with a right hand to the jaw. But that's besides the point. You think a guy like Hatton is going to be scared of some whack little man who gets in his face and shouts 6th grade mockery at him? You gotta be kidding me, man.

Trust me on this, European guys are inherently tougher than any American guy you can drudge up even from the toughest ******. I've traveled over there and if you don't believe it (Americans are blind to their supremacy only so I don't expect you to), that's fine by me buddy.

Notice the sarcastic smile.. Though I still stand by what I said about Hatton being nervous. In all seriousness, why wouldn't he be? It doesn't make him a coward, he came face to face with the biggest fight of his entire life, his toughest challenge. Floyd obviously isn't as shaken since he's seen the big stage. Plus Ricky was in L.A., so he'd probably feel much better once they touch down in his home...

My bad on the misunderstanding . . .

But it is just a press conference; he'll be nervous when the bell is about to ring, but at the press conference? That's just posing for the camera; Floyd isn't hitting anyone at a press conference, and Hatton is comfortable in front of a camera.

Sonofsis, your interpretation of body language is indeed 'psychology'.

'Communication' might not even be treated as a discipline in Europe, but in any case even here it's not about reading body language in that way.

I'm on the floor of the communication college here though so I could go ask them

****en a... ****en euro's are all the same



heres a question for evebody... do peep's think that all euro's think the same on every topic? i do u only have to read them to see they do.

Also, while we're on the subject of amateur psychology. It can be just as easily argued that the nervous energy, the dreadful attempts at ad-libbing from Floyd were much more a sign of being afraid than Hatton standing there and merely smirking at Floyd's relentlessly unsuccessful attempts to rattle him.

Even Floyd's awful fans in the audience failed to laugh at the horrible attempt at a 'Vicky Fatton' jibe. Hatton has made better jokes about himself than that, so what was the point? Fell utterly flat.

I've been to the UK and it depends on the neighborhood. There's some rough kids around there too. But given Floyd's background versus Ricky's I'd give Floyd way more street cred than Hatton.

Europeans actually don't seem inherently tougher in any respect. But they do inherently have less violent crime in general and that's a testimony to their system actually working where America's often fails.

Now as for Queens, NY sorry but if this is my moment to be impressed with your tales of lacing someone up it failed. I'm from the number#3 per capita murder city of the United States so spare me the flexing. I guarantee you I've seen far worse than you.

But I don't think Hatton was especially scared. I only said funny how face to face he has no **** to say.

NYC is pretty soft from what I hear though, as far as crime rate per capita (with Brooklyn being the main trouble area); all of this while Detroit and Flint are pretty wild areas, though that's besides the point and you can correct me if I'm wrong.. I see no use in people on the internet trying to assess his "street cred" anyways.. Especially when Floyd doesn't proclaim to be a street thug..

We're not on that subject firstly because this isn't the thread, and secondly because body language/communication theory doesn't follow any specific scientific paradigm, namely "amateur psychology", so you're just confused..

[MightyMikeA]

Double post, sorry bout that.

It was funny to me. But I like fatty jokes.

This is true, ever since Mayor Giuiliani the city has become one of the safest in the nation, but the 80's and early 90's were pretty tough.
