    Dude thats what I just said, about it being that big in UK, It must be bigger in USA because of the popularity of Floyd and him being an undefeated P4P #1 with accomplishments...

    Yeah normally EVERYONE here is saying Hatton will win, when I ask them why they say:

    "Bro I think Floyd is too ****y, He has got a big mouth"

    thats their reason apparently, and some of them havent seen Mayweather fight.

      Bare in mind Hatton has a 20-inch reach with elbow problems, and if he doesn't hold occasionally he's going to be punched... clinching hasn't been banned as far as I know.

      Against an attacking fighter or a static fighter, he never clinches. He uses his footwork and balance. But when he's trying to get close to a fighter backing off, so he can set his feet right, it's either hold for a few seconds or get punched. Inside fighting is an art in itself, and Hatton is a master at it. In the second half of the Urango fight, he was setting out to clinch because he had a head cold and chest infection.

        Hatton is going to be a pitbull on Dec 8th. There is no way that this is going to be a glorified sparring session.

            Castillo? He's usually an attacking fighter and they were clinching all over the place.

              LOL sorry mate i thought you were a yank. Yer most ppl I know says Hatton will do it, kind of ignorant as they arent boxing fans and probably haven't seen a Mayweather fight. I have watched all of Mayweathers fights and I believe Hatton has a good chance to upset but is no way a certainty to win.

                That was because Ricky felt Castillo's strength in the first 10 seconds and felt he was so much stronger, so he made the decision (after 10 seconds!) to go forward and strength him out and go for the early win instead of the planned long route/boxing masterclass that was the plan beforehand

                The decision obviously proved right...

                  At the title of this thread. Isnt that quite obvious? Thats like saying DLH is a popular fighter,indeed he is.

                  When Mayweather fights the black community around here knows about it,and this is Texas!!! Mayweather is very popular,so dont let the hate on him on here cloud your judgment on what ppl think about him in real life.

                    Everyone knows who Mayweather is, you're right....but for all the wrong reasons.

                    And no one likes to see him fight either. I went to a bar to watch the DLH-Gayweather fight and everyone was booing his pathetic ass. Even his celebrity 'friends' walked out on his ass in his fight with Baldy.

                      Thats a damn lie and you know it.haha. You're not a boxing fan if you dont wanna see the fight,liking it or not. But I see you're on this site so I'm assuming you're a boxing fan.
