Were you impressed by Ricky Hatton's training on 24/7?

[El Jesus]

agreed you cant use two mins of training video to determine a fighters shape. but you can get a useful insight into the camps atmosphere. also i dont think you can really compare the reaction floyd gets in the ring with the reaction he got in manchester. he was clearly uncomfortable and you can see that from his reaction

i mean, this is the biggest fight of hattons career, the atmosphere better be intense because hes a heavy underdog, i mean, thats expected for a fight of this calibre.

I saw a little bit of the floyd press conference in manchester, i mean, he was actin the same fool he does in every press conference, i really didint see anything different about what was happening.

[Hard Chaw]

Enjoyed watching this, was good hype for the fight and cant wait for it now.
Both looking good.


Mayweather doesnt half come across as a shallow plonker at times. Dont you think?

LOL at Ricky

Mayweather "U see me I got 2.50 on the wrist. 300,000
on the pinkie and 600,000 on the neck"

Hatton "Look at me ringg,look at me chainn, look at my tailor made suit
3000 dollers. Whoo gives a ****"

i was impressed with his training, but more impressed with his humility, and i thought it was hilarious when he was talking about floyd's bling. I like PBF because of his abilities, and im starting to like hatton for his personality, even though that sounds really gay, you know what i mean. I just wish that hatton would have beaten some other good american fighters before taking this fight because after he is embarrased i dont see him having much of a future fighting in the states. Plus, it looks like he is genuinely confident that he can beat floyd, or at the very least give him a fight. Come dec 9th i think he will be seriously doubting his boxing abilties.

i just dont see how some people have this down as a one sided beating on december 8th. ricky is unbeaten, he is in his prime. he's an animal, has thousands of fans coming across to support him. all of that not to mention he has GREAT skills and is extremely under-rated by the majority in america. look at floyds toughest fight.... castillo 1. hatton brings very similar ingredients to the table along with better footwork and greater aggression.

The reason people have this as a one sided beating is because we have all seen floyd against guys who's plan is to rush in and overpower him. Against Castillo the first time he struggled, but what happened in the second fight? Against Jesus Chavez he was tested and beat the hell out of him until it was stopped. It would be different if we hadnt seen floyd against this type of fight before, but we have, and the results are the same.


I dont think it will be one sided, but i do think hattons chances revolve around his ability to clinch, if the ref is constantly breaking hatton up, and hes forced to fight at a distance, his defense isnt good enough to offset was mayweather does.

The fact is, we dont know what Hatton is going to do against someone who not only has the speed, but the ring intelligence to dismantle alot of fighters, we have seen floyd against top competition time and time again, we have seen people try to bully floyd, we have seen people try to outbox him, but with Hatton we are at a loss because of the fact that his resume only really includes one fighter who was at least highly rated at the time of their bout and that was tszyu. And Tszyu isnt mayweather. Tszyu needs room to get off his shots, mayweather doesnt, Tszyu was also older and coming off injury, Mayweather isnt. So alot of us are just going off of our experiance in seeing the fighters.

My opinion on a one sided fight isnt that scientific. Basically, from what ive seen hatton is a one-dimensional fighter, he comes forward punches and holds. Floyd has proven he destroys fighters like this. And before i knew who ricky hatton was, i saw him fight a nobody on HBO. He did not impress me and i remember him getting wobbled with a bomb in the 11th or 12th round that almsot sent him down(someone tell me who he fought, im too lazy to look it up). I didnt think he was anyone special then, so i have no reason to believe he even has a chance at beating the best in the world.

your lack of knowledge renders your opinion redundant my friend.... to call hatton a "1 dimensional fighter" is a joke

....but he is one demensional, i have watched a good 8 or 9 hatton fights, mostly when he was on showtime, most of what he does is the same, and dont give me that **** about him having "boxing ability" because anyone can look good boxing against sub-par competition. Hatton bullrushes you and tries to prevent you from getting off by putting his head in your chest and letting loose to the body. He comes in from different angles looking to attack, and when hes done, he will clinch, when hes seperated he goes right back to it. Hatton doesnt go backwards, he doesnt have much of a jab neither. Hatton isnt very defensive and relies on his strength to muscle his oppnents around.

Hatton doesnt really do much else, seriously, think about the Collazo, Urango, and Castillo fights, and the Tszyu fight. All his fights revolve around the same tactics, punch punch punch, clinch, rinse and repeat.

i actually agree with you about the referee situation... if its jay nady we might as well go home!! lol i see your point about past fighters but i think hatton is more dangerous and more effective utilising his own style than castillo. another point is mayweather has not had to fight at a relentless pace for a number of fights, and that could be a serious factor in the outcome

Haha, what other demensions does he have? He is one dimensional, or did he fight some C+ fighters and actually box them. If it happened i dont care. And when you are going to insult someone, make sure you use the correct words or it just makes you look ******ed. redundant, means repeatedly excessive, you meant to say irrelevant. and your inability to speak the english language make you IRRELEVANT.
