"If" a great fight is always surrounded by "if's" ifs that will be answered in only a few more weeks.

Grasping at straws again I see. Please quote the part of his statement that says he picks Hatton too win.

I am picking Floyd and I always have so I am not grabbing for nothing. I am just reading and since he hasn;t made his pick official and he makes those comparison to Kostya I assume that he favours Ricky.

thats a good way to put it. Hatton has the respect of richardson, which is pretty credible IMO.

Hopkins' Trainer Talks Mayweather-Hatton

By Mark Vester

****m Richardson, trainer of Bernard Hopkins, spoke with The UK Telegraph on the subject of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Ricky Hatton, taking place on Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. For two months, Richardson was providing American sparring partners for Hatton to use at his training camp in Manchester. Hatton left for Las Vegas on Thursday.

In order to win, Richardson says that Hatton must take Mayweather away from his gameplan by making it a brawl.

"Ricky knows that coming forward and putting on the pressure is not going to be enough," said Richardson. "Ricky is much quicker and cleverer than people give him credit for. He is not just going to be walking forward. I think it will be a rough fight. Ricky has the ability to turn the fight into a dogfight, and that is where his chances lie. Mayweather won't relish that."

"If Ricky can cope with the power and strategy Tszyu brought, he can cope with Mayweather. If he can impose his will, Ricky can win."
