Ok, now stop picking your nose on camera please.

[deliveryman]

lol I ****ing love Hatton after this fight. Though I wish he'd stop picking his nose.

[The Weebler]

I knew Hatton would be unhappy with the ref.

Thanks....

This was a magnificent perforamce in and out of the ring.

First it is safe to say that Hatton lost the mind games before the fight. He himself admitted that the leadup had him gung ho and eager to rush face forward after Mayweather (though it can be argued thats his style anyway).

Second Mayweather as fight promoter was brilliant. Aided I would expect by HBO (if I was a Brit I'd sue em for misrepresentation) they spent time building the gangsta thug who was sufering from underestimating Hatton and also having fragile hands, so much that they never showed him ever hitting a heavy bag in earnest. Meanwhile they had Hatton trumped up as the good lad with the awesom punching power. Cue Brits and Americans who love 'decent' fighters running to see Mayweathers ribs broken.

Result...more Money for Mayweather (he did co promote this fight after all).

It was great. The ultimate con job. Outsmarted by the thug...and stripped bare.ANd Mayweather even had the audacity to big up Hatton again and express willingness to jump over De La Hoya and feed once more at the tough...this time in the UK.

The other part of this is about Mayweather the fighter.

The adaptation that he showed was incredible. First he pot shotted and held, breaking up Hattons rhythm. The he went low and high and confused Hatton. Then he fought him on the inside and forced Hatton to feel his own body punching power.

Then he unveiled the jab and then with Hatton being egged on by the thought that he could still have a chance of KOing Mayweather, he brutally put the light out.

A brilliant businessman, actor and of course boxer.

Floyd Money Mayweather. You show what real smarts are about. No CEO has anything over you.

Ricky Hatton was fooled and you sense he now knows it. Also whats with Manny Steward ans his Floyd hating.

Yeah that's all impressive Khova, but I would love for Mayweather to do all that against a tough rugged welterweight like Clottey, who actually pose more of a threat to Mayweather then Hatton did.

they also didn't show floyd shadow boxing too much either, floyd moves so fluently around the ring. he shadow boxes extremely well and his punches look so sharp that you have no choice but admire his technique. he throws combinations well and he moves his head great, moves his feet great, positions his body very well, and is fast as ****, and i'm only talking about his shadow boxing people, not even on the pad work yet, or heavy bag work, or jump rope routine which is the best i have ever seen.

Having watched the fight I dont think any welterweight can truly call themselves a favorite in the ring with Mayweather. WIlliams is awkward but he cannot beat Mayweather simply for being busier. Clottley and Cotto, do you really think Mayweather wont adapt if those fights ae the be all and end all ?

None f those fights have priority right now. Maybe if one of Cotto or Williams cleans up then the deman will be for a superfight. But right now you have the promoter looking at how he can further aid in building his primary fighters rep and bank account. Himself. One day another chance will come.

maybe, but clottey would come up short also. clottey is a tough fighter, no doubt about it, but he reminds me of phillip n'dou and i feel floyd would stop clottey also. i would love to see clottey fight cotto.
