Ricky Hatton vs Floyd Mayweather
- Thread starter Zephyrman
- Start date
I am really excited for this fight.
I really don't think there is any chance of it being a flop. These are both such insanely talented fighters and putting them in the ring together will make for a great show no matter what. I am really torn on who to root for in this fight because as lovable as Hatton is and as much as I can't stand Mayweather, I almost want Mayweather to keep his title so he can fight Miguel Cotto.
From what I have seen of him, Hatton is deffinately going to be one of Mayweathers biggest challenges yet. Another thing tilting the fight in Hattons favor is Mayweathers arrogance. He is really underestimating Hatton and doesn't seem to take him seriously at all.

not really biased one way or the other, but Hatton can't knock out what he can't hit, and I *really* don't think he can hit Mayweather.
I kind of like Mayweather's arrogance though - for someone without a rooting interest, it's fun

Oh well. Mayweather won. He showed yet again, why he's the best. Perhaps it was asking too much of Hatton to step up a weight and then fight the best there is.
I'm still proud of Hatton, he's got the heart of a Lion. I guess acting like a jackass is Mayweather hyping up the fight, he's not such a bad guy.

Once again. the boxer beats the fighter.
Hatton was never really in the fight after the fifth or sixth round.
The referee was practically retarded in the first few rounds. Was he trying to stamp his authority on the fight or what was he playing at?
I hate the way Mayweather talked so much trash before the fight, and afterwards was all buddy buddy with Hatton.
But more than that, I hated the British fans booing the American anthem. Absolute dopes.
Who thinks Mayweather will retire? There are a few up and coming opponents for him, but now wouldn't be the worst time for him to retire in my opinion.

He only talked trash to hype up the fight. I doubt he meant any of what he said before hand. If you look at him , how he is in private, he's a good guy at heart.
Lots of fighters retire at thirty in their prime. Mayweather has his head on straight and after the fight said something along the lines of "I plan on retiring from boxing, I don't want boxing to retire me."
I just really hope that before he retires we'll get to see him fight Cotto.
I dont think a lot of them retire at 30 in their prime. Name lots that were in their prime. Recently, I can only think of Trinidad, and that was after a loss (and he came out of retirement since). Those in decline, those that have been hurt or dont have big fights in their future might though.
Many in their prime still have a lot of money fights left. Floyd however, has pretty much beat everyone already.

"I want to retire boxing, not let boxing retire me." Sounds like good logic.
