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

[Unseen]

Mr. Hicks,

Here are some quotes from that OTHER Hatton, Arturo Gatti. Tell me if he didn't say the same things as the NEW Hatton is saying...

Gatti says the fight will come down to toughness…a quality he has proven over and over. But does Mayweather have any? “Talent wise, Mayweather is one of the most talented fighters, but I’ve been in with some really good fighters and most of them are tougher than Mayweather. He has ability, but who knows how tough he is? I’ve been in tough fights that I was able to come out of a winner.” Team Gatti maintain they’re going to pull a big surprise on fight night.

As to be expected, he had a lot to say about Mayweather's trash-talking. "For what I've done in boxing and how I've done it he should have a little more respect," reasoned Gatti (39-6, 30 KO's). "I'm going to sell the tickets. They give tickets away when Mayweather fights..."

Said Gatti in response, "I'm gonna take him somewhere he's never been. He thinks I'm a joke. I just want to punish him. I really want to hurt him.

"I would like to make this fight 12 rounds and beat the living [stuff] out of him. He deserves a good spanking. He's a little boy."


We've heard it all before, Ricky... crying about not getting respect from Floyd..... saying that you are too "tough" for Floyd.... calling him a little boy....how Floyd has no fans....predicting the upset..... YAAAWWWWN

WE'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. SAME GUY. SAME RESULT.

Your in for the surprise of your life!!! Floyd will eat hatton up just like he did gatti!!!

< This is me right?

You know I'll be singing that "Let's Go Ricky Hat-ton!" song through the streets LIT when he wins right?


It won't be like Gatti. Hatton won't be standing there thinking it's 98' still..

Hatton will be busy humpin all over Mayweather like a horny pit bull. :wank:

This is a media hyped fight. Once again you have Hatton who has fought smaller guys as of late and hasn't looked great doing it (Collazo). And then you have Mayweather who just finished beating Dela hoya... Come on!!! Wake Up!!!! Not only will Mayweather be the superior boxer , he'll be the bigger guy physically. This will turn out to be a big payday for Hatton who deserves it and a sparring session for Mayweather.. This is another classic example of a media hyped fight which by the way works !!! Most part time fans get blinded by a fighters personallity or anything they see on TV.. Another clear example but not quite the same mis-match was Talyor fighting Pavlik. You had Pavlik quietly fighting all the middleweights Taylor ducked yet the media was solidlly in Taylor's corner because he buttered their bread!!! Mayweather by decision or late round TKO

Collazo isn't a smaller guy, Collazo turned pro at 147 lbs and has had several fights at Jr Middleweight. Collazo is bigger than anyone Mayweather has ever fought apart from Oscar De la Hoya.

And don't pretend that Mayweather's win over De La Hoya was anything other than an extremely close fight, closer in fact that Hatton's win over Collazo was.

Collazo is smaller than carlos baldomir. Irrespective of what weights Louise has fought at.

There's probably not a great deal of difference between their size, but Luis has fought more times at a higher weight and is taller so I would lean towards Collazo being the bigger. Collazo is also better.
