Why are British boxers NOT picking Hatton to win?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

On the heels of Calzaghe saying "my heart is with Hatton, but my head tells me Mayweather", Lloyd Honeyghan expressed skepticism about Ricky's chances at victory.

Now this:



Question to Britons on this site: are you disappointed or concerned that your professional boxers don't like Ricky's chances?

Not everyone is going to pick an underdog publicly, not when they have reputations to maintain.

But seriously, as time passes I'm liking his chances a little better. I use to give him a 20% chance, now I'd push it a little higher.

Welcome back by the way.

I have to say Witter will never pick Hatton, They're rivals and he hated hatton for ducking him, Havent said that most british boxer knows Hatton isnt the Favourite

I realize your post is not a sincere question, and you didn't want an answer. But leave this. In all likelihood you can gloat in ten days. Ricky hatton will do fine to make it a fight, bring something extra out of Floyd.

Umm.. because they don't think he'll win?

I think many are picking Hatton......but most are also not as biased as some think and respect Mayweathers fight game even tho he is a totallly classless **** **** on most occasions......On that note I think Mayweather will win and probably big.This 24/7 is making me think that Hatton may win more and more every week but thats what it is supposed to do......

All that said and all the points bet on Mayweather......I hope Hatton KOs his ass...It would make my year.

They know he wouldnt win..Thats why most of them use Head and heart logic.

Hello Cage.

I would have thought that they'd pick Hatton publicly just to curry favour with the British public. What is the downside?
