Why is the ring 4ft bigger?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

No excuses, I still think Hatton can win. But ffs, I want to see a fight not a 12round dab dab win from either man.

Oscar v Floyd was too much to bear. If it happens again I'm giving up watching boxing.

I hope Floyd doesn't run also. DLH was bigger and stronger. Floyd knew he had better run from DLH. I just question whether Hatton is really going to attack Floyd like everyone thinks.

This pisses me off. I want to see a fight not a football match where guys are chasing each other round the ring.

Floyd will dab dab dab his way to victory. This isn't boxing.

LOL @ the Hattonites panicking in the last minute.

Floyd might attack Hatton, he definitely feels the physical superior to Hatton calling him a midget etc.

But honestly, Floyd asking to make the ring bigger disappoints me. It means everything everyone said about him running or needing space was true and I have to say, is not good for the fans at all.

Yeah, I know. It doesn't make sense considering the fact he said he would fight toe to toe. Floyd has to have a plan "B" in the back of his mind if Hatton overwhelms him. That plan will be to box and move, or run, whatever you want to call it.

Speaking of ring sizes...remember Diaz/Diaz on HBO?
Was that not the smallest ring you'd ever seen?

Yeah, that was perfect!

That was definitely to Juan's advantage.

[King Koopa]

Yeah, that was perfect!

Yeah, what was funny was that the HBO broadcasters were complaining that Julio Diaz wasn't moving enough

But where was he gonna go?

You know, inside a regular sized ring, I have no problem with Floyd running. That gives him a good shot and the challenger a good shot. But making the ring bigger just turns the advantage massively to the guy wanting to shy away from confrontation. Again, I'm just disappointed that things are engineered towards this kind of fight.

I pray Hatton isn't standing at the end after 12 boring rounds (hardly out of breath) saying:

'I couldn't get close enough to him, he never hurt me once'

and losing on points like De La Hoya purely because of the extra space available to move around in.
