Hatton: "My Heart Will Explode Before He Beats Me"

[Addison]

There's no doubt the burden is on Floyd in this fight. Hatton's coming in with absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain! And, this is an advantage in itself.

That's how I see it, Wiley. Well put.

Nah, Hatton's little pale, pink army have been saying how overrated Floyd is.

And Hatton has said that he is "certain" that he will win this fight and his heart will explode before Floyd beats him and yadda yadda.

All the trash-talking has been coming from Team Hatton as of late

Wiley,

Do you think that Hatton has professional credibility at stake?

I mean, it appears as if he hasn't gained a ton of professional respect. He is top ten p4p, yet he is still a wide underdog. (By contrast, Tito-DLH was almost a pick 'em fight). So there is still ambivalence about him.

Doesn't Hatton have his legacy and his greatness at stake? If he gets beaten soundly, isn't he headed south on the p4p list and in the minds of the American market?

If Mayweather is ****** and tries to prove something by going toe-2-toe with Hatton he will lose.

[Addison]

i get sick of these "i'll die before i lose " types..they're usually the first to quit

I am too.

But anyone who mistakes these sort of refernces with simple bravado is off the mark. Hatton is specifically referring to his particular method of approach.

What he's promising is a relentless smothering attack.

Not some BS about how ambitious he is or how tough is..

A loss is a loss is a loss.

A loss is a loss is a loss.

Do you genuinely believe that?

Was Zab Judah's loss to Cotto equivalent to Zab's loss to Baldomir?

Judah?? Don't see the connection. Even a reasonably biased Mayweatherite such as yourself can understand the point being made here. Surely you can see that Floyd is such a favorite in the mind of the general public (Brits excluded of course) that Floyd comes in with the pressure.
