    Do i get a prize?!

    I think he'l knock out N'Dou middle to late rounds. Everyone wants to fight Ricky because hes the hottest thing in boxing right now and is underrated across the pond. The big guns have to fight him so i think he'l have more than enough offers next year...whether these offers turn into something is another matter.

    To be fair i would like ricky to go over and kick the crap out of everyone over there just to shut everyone up but it is a difficult position Warren is in. If he can get an elite fighter to come over here and sell out a 75,000 capacity stadium its quite difficult to convince him to go over to the US wouldnt you agree?

      He wants to win as many belts at different weights as possible but i dont think he can go any heavier than welter ... not yet anyway, so he either fights zab/margarito/mosley but after that hasnt got anywhere to go.

      After each fighters next fights they'll probably call eachother out and its the fight the public are crying out for so it will have to happen sooner or later. i reckon it will happen next summer...on a hot summers night ,in cardiff at the 75,000 capacity open air Millenium Stadium!
      Don't know if Floyd will cross the ocean, but the rest of your assessment sounds about right. They'll probably have to meet at a catch weight since I doubt that Floyd will go all the way back down to 140 if he goes to welter. Doesn't matter, cause Hatton at that point might be looking for new challenges above his usual weight class, as well.

        Their not ducking Witter, its only because Witter keeps calling him out do people even mention the fight.

        Its quite simple, Witter had the chance to impress the Hatton fans against Haeck, it that fight he was terrible and he blew his chance. Its totally different now that Hatton can make huge money elsewhere, so when Witter starts beating decent opponents and stops ****ing around with bums will we see Hatton vs Witter.

          Yes you have won a poster of Floyd Mayweather. I guess we will all find out about Hatton within a year, it's to early for you to overrate him. I just don't see him becoming one of the greats, I see too many flaws in his game.

            Thanks!

            I suppose we will have to wait and see and i hope he proves all the haters wrong.

            I dont overrate him at all, i havnt said hes going to go over to america and knock every1 out in the first round! He has flaws like any other fighter but hes still only 26 and is beginning to reach his peak. He has a good team and a great trainer in Billy 'the preacher' Graham and i believe he will go far. Maybe not 1 of the greats but i believe he will have some superb fights because he is 1 exciting MOFO!

            i know this may sound like im seriously bumming the hitman but he is one of the main reasons i got into boxing serously and turned me from just a casual fan....nothing wrong with a bit of love .. about time us brits were back on the map!!!
