Props to you Ice, your prediction was spot on, people chose Hatton because of their dislike for Mayweather.Proof that I picked Mayweather too!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know a lot of people have been bringing up all the ways that Hatton can and will win this fight. Many have talked about his relentless pressure, his awesome body punching and his will to win to go along with his dogged determination as factors in why they will pick him to defeat Mayweather. And while I believe that Hatton is a warrior and a very determined individual who always comes to fight and is probably much more skilled than most give him credit for I also believe that Floyd is one of those guys, like a Ray Leonard, who has all the tools and gifts at his disposal. I have actually trained in the gym out in Las Vegas when he was also training and while I am sure Hatton works hard in the gym I would find it hard to believe that he trains any harder than Mayweather. I also think that Floyd, like Ali and Leonard before him, is a guy who has the image of a boxer and a personality first but like those two guys did countless times, i think when the going gets tough Floyd will respond like a champion. If Hatton thinks he is just going to bully Floyd with no resistance coming back at him then I think he will be terribly mistaken. I also think that the majority of people that count all the ways that Hatton will win this fight also happen to be people who do not personally like Floyd and their opinions are more wishful thinking than anything. As much as I think Floyd is very, very immature in his bragging about how much money he has, as much as I think his friend Leonard Ellerbee talks way too much trash for a guy who never fought before and doesn't fight, and as much as I think Floyd probably will not be remembered -for a variety of reasons- as a true and revered legend of the game so many years after his final fight like Leonard and Ali are now, I do think he is far and away the elite of today and everything in this equation points to his winning December 8 in very convincing performance.
Putting it another way, the night before James Toney and Roy Jones fought out in Las Vegas back in 1994 Roy's lawyer asked me for my honest opinion and I told him this: "James Toney is a very good, maybe even a great, fighter but all the things that make him great will never come into play -stylistically- against a Roy Jones."
Substitute the names Mayweather and Hatton and you have my same prognosis for December 8.Comment
