Pep: Mayweather is a special fighter

[Wiley Hyena]

Yep every real underdog is written off the same way , and yep sometimes they get up and knock of the red hot fav ,, and yep every underdog I ever heard speak tells the same story of what he is gunna do , 99% of them do fail thats a fact , the only difference here is this underd dog had 24/7 to sell the quest .

Hatton is a tough fighter and Floyd has to be special to win this fight because the mindset that Rickys in is going to make him extremely hard to beat , Floyd has to be a great fighter to win .

Fair enough. I hope a fight actually breaks out. We'll see.

They said the same thing about Hatton before the Tszyu fight. The higher the pedestal that harder the fall. Mayweather is not on a pedestal, he's on a ladder made of balsa wood. It will break from the weight of it's own accord...it's just a matter of time.

Well obviously these predictions don't mean that the fight is in the bag, but it does seem bad that both comparative opponents are favoring Floyd. That's all I was saying.

Well, of course Floyd is the favorite, especially in Las Vegas. Nothing unusual about this.

Well the two comparative opponents saying they think Floyd is a favorite takes the Las Vegas part out of it...

The two guys that both have though agree that Floyd is probably going to win... and they've seen what both have to offer.

I'm just saying that doesn't bode well for The Hitman.

How does that take the Las Vegas factor out of it? If this fight were being held in Britain, I am virtually certain the betting odds would be much more even.

Because I'm not talking about the betting odds. I'm only talking about the words that have come out of Castillo and Pep's mouths.

Tony Pep: Hatton must knock Mayweather out

Ricky Hatton must knock out, or stop Floyd Mayweather if he is to claim the WBC welterweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday night according to Canadian Tony Pep, who has fought both the American and the Briton. Pep fears that Hatton may cut against Mayweather, and says the American is "that extra little bit special".

Mexican Jose Luis Castillo is the only other boxer to share a contest with both undefeated fighters. Pep took Mayweather the distance in a 10-round contest in 1998, and in 1991, bloodied Hatton's face before being stopped in the fourth round at Wembley Arena. Pep is adamant that Mayweather will win on points if the fight goes 12 rounds.



Pep said yesterday: "Hatton has to stick to Mayweather like glue. Even then I don't think he can put on enough pressure to win on points. Ricky's a tough fighter who can hurt you to the body. But in Mayweather you've got an an all-time great. He's seen off those he's fought in style."

Pep has also been a sparring partner for Mayweather since then. and insists his ability to adapt is eerieSIZE="4"] "When I was asked to spar I thought, right, now's the time to get him. Every day I turned up with a plan to unsettle him. It only took him a few seconds to adapt to whatever I threw at him. He's a special fighter."

Why didnt you highlight the most important bit ^ never mind i did it for you.
