Mayweather-Hatton Conference Thread

@.Mik...

I don't respond to posts that utilize contextomy, while omitting the meat of an argument. It is fallacious and merely a rhetorical stratagem. I've provided my citations as to why you're wrong/confused, explained my intent, and addressed you appropriately. The fact that your pride won't allow you to accept the obvious, once presented to you, is a testament to your stubborness and ineducable state of stagnation. This discussion will end here. Have a nice day.

floyd is ****y and charismatic a modern-day Ali type of fighter in the press conferences. It's what sells and what gets people talking, he's also going to rip Hatton apart.

LOL



Welterweight boxer Ricky Hatton of Britain,right, pretends he can't hear Floyd Mayweather, the champion, during a news conference at Rockefeller Center in New York, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2007. They will fight on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas.

That **** is pretty funny. Ricky is making these press conferences enjoyable in a different way than press conferences are usually made enjoyable.

Then he started talking about the rumors that he drinks a lot, and he said "I don't know where all the rumors come from" and he was in the ring holding a bottle of vodka in his boxing glove.

Haha, thats some funny ****. Is there any video of this?

logic is wasted on you, isn't it? arguing with you is like arguing with a four year old, except that a four year old would have a better grasp of the english language and would be less narrow minded than you are.

His video was much funnier than Floyd's horrible delivery of 'Vicky Fatton' to absolutely no reception from his biased audience whatsoever.

Mik,

If hatton had NOT made the comments after the castillo fight, or to the British press, or produced his little video, then I would have been ABSOLUTELY on board with his stance at the presser.
I would have said that ricky just elected to take the high road. Cheers to him.

But you can't START talking shyte from afar, and then get the dry-mouth when the guy is in front of you challenging you to repeat it.

Doesn't work that way.

I'm liking Ricky on a personal level more and more since the press conference. I've always like him personally because he's so lighthearted, I remember one time someone came to watch him train and talk to fighters at his gym about him and while he was in the ring he was mooning the camera. Then he started talking about the rumors that he drinks a lot, and he said "I don't know where all the rumors come from" and he was in the ring holding a bottle of vodka in his boxing glove.

It's funny that he's not taking this too seriously, and the pics of Hatton and Mayweather at the conference are hilarious.

I said from the beginning of this that if Floyd tried to pull of his usual games Hatton would end up gaining the favor of a lot of the more astute boxing fans (ie not the ones who love Floyd cos he's all ****** and find his antics about money to be hilarious) and its seeming that way. If it continues like this, I cant imagine Floyd will have a plan B and he'll either look ****** for carrying on with the same old schtick when it obviously isnt working, or he'll resign to shutting up, thus admitting his mind-games defeat.

Disregard the biased Euro nuts, they can only support their assertions through generalization and inane bull****..

Says the hypocrite who just a few posts earlier generalized by saying that all Gayweather haters are racist.

If you're gonna contradict yourself, at least be a little more subtle about it, cheif.

Bottom line:

Ricky, as a man who owns up to what he says and does, should have no problem expressing that he meant what was said by actually saying it in person. Since he did not, he didn't own up to what he said on video tape, either rendering him a coward or a clown. He either is scared to confront what he said or thinks, or he didn't mean it to begin with. Again, either he is a coward or a clown, pick your poison..
