If you watched 24/7 with Hatton, you'll see what he needs to go through just to fight. It was shocking.
can't watch 24/7 since we don't get it over her in germany.

Are there any clips on video.google.com? Youtoube doesn't work :-?


Thanks anyway for the information
Sorry, only youtube. On 24/7 he put his hands in dry ice (I think?), presumably it wasn't Nitro G, hand massages, etc, to reduce the pain. Apparently several experts have told him he should retire before risking serious problems in later life.

Presumably they also give him Chondriotin or Glucosamine too.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. I doubt he put his hands in that, it's -78 celsius, which is bleeding cold, and would cause skin burns and frostbite.

Liquid nitrogen would make your fingers break off like the T-1000 in Terminator 2.

Yeah, I thought the same (think liquid nitor is around -270ish). I'll have to dig it out on youtube and find out what was in his cauldron of smoke.

It could be the vapours from dry ice, which would be significantly less cold than the solid ice.

The best thing for arthritic pain however is heat, which boosts circulation.

Actually, it could've been Liquid Nitro and Floyd's Robert Patrick's son?

We didn't think of that.

I don't see why Mayweather needs Cotto. Miguel has a massive Latino fanbase, but he isn't exactly mainstream yet. He needs to crossover to make the fight big enough for Mayweather to bother.

I'd love to see the fight. Think Cotto will give him a hard night, harder than Hatton did at any rate. Cotto is strong at 147, and is incredibly determined, I don't think he'll lose his rag like Hatton did.
If Corley, Judah and Mosley landed and hurt Cotto, Mayweather will, and more.

That's enough to see for me to know Floyd will win. Though I agree it would be a hard fought win.

I think that Cotto was brittle at 140, he looks solid at 147, and Mosley is a big hitter at that weight.

Mayweather has the accuracy and speed though to trouble anyone he can tag cleanly.

what aggs me is that people talk about the fights not making enough money for floyd.

If he wants to be known as richest sportsman or richest boxer then fine. But its not the same as being known as 'i fought them all'

I really do doubt that it matters to Mayweather. From only watching interviews with him, he seems to only care about how much money each fight can make and/or making sure he doesn't lose his "0".

He was calling out DLH from his SF days, but I've never heard him once mention fighting Cotto.
