THE REAL December 9th Headline

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Jesus I nearly fell off my chair....
You are a funny guy!

The Floyd nuthuggers are the ones who say that he would beat Pavlik and SRR on the same night. Those people exist.

I would challenge you to find a factually inaccurate statement or irrational prediction I have made related to Floyd.

You have never heard me call him GOAT. I have said that Winky or Forrest can beat him, and I have said that a better/ more experienced Williams would beat him.

You just caught me at the wrong time. You caught me when PBF is fighting one of my LEAST favourite fighters. I don't like that fat little pink man at all.

I get upset when I hear people compare hatton to Duran or Chavez. 1) they are ATG's. 2) They are Latino ATG's. 3) They were far more versatile than Hatton.

Ricky actually seems like a decent sort. In another life, I could have a beer with him. But he has believed his own press. And for that, he must bleed.

That's fantastic stuff. I could definitly visualise this happening too, the way that you described it. There's one thing though, I wonder if Hatton's team would have the capacity or will to pull Hatton out of the fight.

Do you think Mayweather can only win by a TKO or a decision. Or do you think he has potential for a KD, or KO?

I think that Hatton's corner can pull Ricky when his eye closes. Floyd is a two-handed fighter. Whatever eye closes is gonna get the business. Either the doctor or the corner.

If Hatton gets buzzed a la manfredy, he will get that Floyd/Oscar treatment. PBF and Oscar usually get their KO's when they get the guy in the corner/ropes and rain a bunch of punches unanswered. The ref will step in. I can see that type of stoppage. (I'd be surprised to see Smoger ref this fight).

But I think that Ricky has wanted this fight his whole life, and he won't stay down.

People criticize PBF's power because of Baldomir and Delahoya. But we have seen those guys in with judah, hopkins, shane, gatti, sturm, vargas, quartey, trinidad, forrest, etc. In over 100 rounds with real punchers, have you ever seen Oscar or Baldomir on ***** street?

Yeah I see what you mean. If it did play out how you forsee, I wonder what that would say about a Hatton - De la Hoya fight, because I figured Oscar would still fight Hatton if he lost a decision to Floyd - but I wonder if Oscar would forget about Hatton if he lost by a stoppage.

Hatton nuthuggers, Mayweather nuthuggers. Everyone is a nuthugger, so let's retire this word. It is so corny.
