    Mayweather will Kill Ricky

    I agree Oscar and Floyd fought a dull fight, but Oscar was too big for Floyd to engage. He is going to treat Hatton like Arturo Gatti, mark my words it is going to be a wipeout... Hatton will be stopped before round 10!!!

      Both these fegits killed the sport with the cinco de mayo fight. Off with their heads!

        In some aspects that fight may have been bad for boxing. Casual Fans give there money to HBO in hopes of re-kindling there like for boxing, when in return they get a crappy fight. I heard a bunch of people say that night, "I'm never gonna buy a PPV boxing match again, this sucks"

          Multiply that by the hundreds of thousands people duped by the hype, and there you have the death knell of boxing.

          R.I.P.

            but they both dont got that market magic touch that dlh has to make the fight sell.......but i agree i bet there will be more action/drama
