I think Hatton is hungrier, but I don't see him overcoming Floyd's skill, speed, and movement.

Douglass was hungrier, but there was no way that he was overcoming Tyson's skill, speed, movement, and power.

OH please that's a totally different situation.. Tyson wasnt even really training hard and he was partying all the time. Floyd ALWAYS takes his training seriously.

And that's why he was on a game show (with no idea when he was getting off of it) while Hatton was training his ass off?:patsch

Floyd, of course, but I won't be shocked if Hatton pulls it off.

Do you follow the sport? I suggest you read up on the activity of the respective fighters over the past month and a half and then try posting again.

I suggest you read up on Floyd history and realize that he never takes any fight lightly. The man is always in peak condition and this fight will be no exception. Just wishful thinking on your part. Hater

Lulz. Participating on a game show with no idea when he was going to be done with it is not taking the fight as seriously as his opponent, who was training his fucking ass off. Spin it any way you want, that's just how it is.

exactly. Floyd is the hardest working fighter in the world when it comes to preparation for a fight, hands down. read the n'dou interview on boxingtalk if you want an update on Floyd's preparations. He has a full camp, entered camp under 154 pounds (Hatton was around 170), and it doesnt matter how much Hatton works his "ass off". Gaining 40+ pounds then losing 40+ pounds in 6 months time is terrible for your body and shows Hatton taking this fight likely expecting Floyd to not be able to "hold him off with his power". This thread has no sources, no nothing. Just ignorance. What a waste of time.

I totally agree.
I think this is the fight where PBF finally falls into the trap of believing his own hype, doesn't take Hatton seriously, gets surprised by Hatton's ferocity and relentlessness, and has no answer to it.
As they say, Pride cometh before a fall.
I think people dont give Hatton enough credit.

There is a subtle diffrence here.Floyds arrogance is quiet confidence.BOTH guys are consumate gym rats.I have never seen anyone train as hard as PBF and as hard as Hatton does.But the deciding factor here is PBF`s talent which WILL prevail.

A lot of upsets have started off this way....This is a very important point. Not trying to sound like Teddy Atlas but you can't underestimate the will of a fighter. We all have seen upsets where the fighter who wanted it more..got it. It's do or die time for Hatton and he knows it. Aside from this Hatton brings quite abit to the table. The question here is will he feed or fold under the pressure? I think he'll feed off it and ultimately giving PBF some problems. Cheers:good

I would say the point is probably correct but the inference is questionable. Ricky likely is more focused and training "harder" than Floyd. But Floyd is a consumate pro and he wont turn up in anything but peak condition
and yes I am a Brit and I do want Ricky to win but pinning your hopes on Floyd turning up out of shape is futile, he is way too good to do that to himself.

Right. And when he signed up for the show and was on it, he had no idea how long he was going to be participating. Meanwhile, Ricky Hatton was training his ass off. And Floyd new this.
Like everyone else, I expect Floyd to come into the fight in great shape. But that doesn't change the fact that Hatton was and is taking this more seriously than Floyd.

Floyd actually started his camp early, sparred in the morning, did the show, came home and ran, did some more of the show, then lifted. So he's been working hard and taking this fight very seriously. Had he stayed on that show the full time, I think he would've wore himself out. As far as how seriously he's taking this fight, I have no doubts that he's 100% focused and dedicated.

I'm GLAD 2 hear the Mayweather fans "greenlighting" Floyd's preparation and training:yep
So it should be really clear one way or the OTHER come the 8th:good
Neither fighter or camp should complain or have issue/excuse with weight or preparation in this fight. :nono
May the best man win!!!!!!!!!!

He may be 100% focused and dedicated NOW, but you can't say that he was when he was participating on a goddamn game show.
