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.
    I know, and I think that's a huge possibility tonight. It seems like fights usually don't live up to all the hype, but as soon as you stop buying them, you mis the fight of the year. lol

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

      THIS WAS IN A 24 FOOT RING:

        The bad part is getting the UNDERCARD bouts in the same size ring.

              Taking off gloves to show like you have some handspeed isn't going to impress anyone.

                Hatton gets to pick the referee and he also get to use his preferred gloves, Mayweather gets to pick a 22 ring and his own preferred gloves...I dont know what the big deal is with all the ready made excuse...Team Hatton arent ****** enough to sign every advantages to PBF.

                    I'm not going down that line, but look at how Floyd behaved on tour. Hatton was mild compared to PBF's behavior.

                    floyd done it tongue in cheek, you dont treat a 5 weight world champ like that it goes to show what morons we're dealing with. uncle roger was a world class contender (dont think he ever became champ did he??) what was billy graham apart from a chainsmoking bum, roger would khtfo. i was kind of sittin on the fence for this one but after this i'll be happy with nothing short of hatton getting humiliated, brutalised, left twitching semi concious with his guts hanging out

                      Well, after Duran whipped his ass the first time, of course, it had to be.
