Floyds deadly serious 'bad boy' face cracks me up. Hattons dissing him like a biatch in his own patch

1-0 to Hatton, Mayweather looks like a petulant schoolkid getting the piss ripped out of him at schools sportsday.

Mayweather has to train for his dancing and for his fighting.

Maybe there isn't too much difference.

I don't like the notion that Hatton might just nick it because Floyd has gone into dancing with the stars and might overtrain/underestimate. This is bollocks.

Also, Hatton's style is pressure. He did get tangled up too much with Collazo and Urango. But he showed some polish vs Castillo which I found encouraging. His style is always going to be too maul, and it's good to see him, say, pin a guy's left hand to his chest, take a sidestep and find the angle for a nasty body shot (as he did to Castillo).

Floyd must think he's preaching to a bunch of idiots. Shout, scream and act like a pathetic gibbering drooling idiot at the pressers, then on fight night get your running shoes on.
I wouldnt worry about tactics if I was Hatton.

Just go out there and throw everything, including the referee, corner stoll and ringposts, at Floyd.

At the next press conference when Floyd starts mouthing off Ricky should just walk right over to him and tell him "yeah? I'm gonna bash you up you Yank Caaaannnnt!

Can't see Ricky doing this, mate. Hatton will probably remain calm & try ot crack a few laighs from time-to-time. By no means, should he just not retaliate to Floyd's antics whatsoever, but do it in a way which may reverse the roles & annoy Floyd!

I understand what you're saying about going in there & throw everything he has at Floyd, but seriously, if he doesn't bolt-down a game plan, strategy etc, Ricky would be in serious trouble come fight time.

There has to be method to his madness!

Why not throw everything at him. How else can he win. He cannot outbox him. No good trying to counter. He needs to apply relentless pressure, in the manner of Henry Armstrong or Rocky Marciano. He needs to give him no room to breath, just bang bang bang. Hit him everywhere, arms head, body, everywhere. Hit on the break, wrestle, elbow etc. Turn it into a right scrap, make it untidy.

Its the only way. Get Floyd complaining to the ref early.

I think Hatton has handled the face-off's very well, Floyd's just talkiing sh*t and Hatton's laughing it off. Good stuff from Hatton. But, at the final face-off in Manchester, as Floyd walks towards Hatton, i'd like to see Hatton sink a hammer blow into his gut. Lets watch Floyd double up in utter agaony and absolute surprise. That would make great viewing and great headlines. It would also rile Mayweather like never before!

Here's hoping

Hatton is just not the volatile type out of the ring. For all Mayweather's talk now you can bet Hatton will be the one trying to make a fight of it come December. Floyd will be on his bike for most of the fight. I hope Hatton crunches him with a body shot in December. Mayweather is a complete areshole.

I read the other day he was at a private gig 50 Cent was playing at some pool party with the stage suspended over the pool. Mayweather started throwing loads of 50 dollar bills into the pool and people were diving in after them which stopped the gig as they were worried about water getting on the kit. What a fornicating nob there is no need to be chucking money about its pathetic.

Hatton looked ruffled to me in the interview after the press conference. He looked pissed off.

You lot who say "win by all means" are forgetting that the referee will be on Floyd's side, FACT. Hatton will lose because he won't be ALLOWED to punch and hold by the ref.

Apart from Mayweather does in the ring, you really cant take seriously anything he does or says out of it.

I wouldnt be surprised if the little punk wound up skint by the time he was 50.

He does not live in the real world, but he will for maybe half an hour give or take on Dec 8th. Thats all that matters to me.

He can then f uck off back to his silly little world.

We should ALL (on the British Forum) get behind Hatton.

I'm looking forward to Friday's press conference. This whole tour has been piss 'n' vinegar. Floyd in Manchester should be fun.

Still, at the end of the day, it's what happens in December that matters. I very much doubt that either Floyd or Ricky are too worried about any press, or at least their clippings, prior to the bout.

I do, I prefer Mayweathers style. But part of me would like Ricky to win too. May the best man win and I'm really looking forward to this 1.

The Brit forums lost its usual impartility and intelligence on this fight.

As for Floyds antics, hes a kid with a low IQ whos forcing himself into a 'bad boy' identity that he feels he needs to be to sell fights and be popular. The image does actually sell the fight though, hes the most talked about fighter in boxing whether you love or hate him and allot of people tune in because they want to see him lose.

Despite Mayweather coming across as stupid he has fanatastic ring intelligence and rarely makes mistakes
