Also, I'm fairly sure that 3/1 is better than 5/2. Maybe you need to do some research.

Damn the decimal system.
I thought that I may get a birlington bertie on the Hatton fight.

the dark destroyer days were the greatest , you werer guaranteed a tee-off and a tear-up after the chimes of big ben , and shouts from every pub in the land of 'go on, nige! come on nige!' great days. miss the benn and bruno days badly , every taxi driver would be talking about them. then prince naseem came along to boot. joe calzaghe's reign in the british boxing world has just been this cold , negative reign

My apologies search. It seems you were right about the odds on Betfair. I notice you ignored my other point though.

In respect of Tyson not standing for any of Warren's shit, can anyone really clear this matter up?
I know there was an altercation or a disagreement between the two, but I also heard from a reliable source at the time, Tyson came real close to throwing Warren out the window of his hotel suite, which was on something like the 7/8th floor!
If this is what transpired, then too right Tyson didn't stand for any of Warren's shit!

The atmosphere at Benn fights was second to none, only Hatton compares

My son in law is rarely ever wrong with his predictions and he says Hatton will waste Mayweather around the 5th - I think Ricky will rough him up and win with a rib cracker but I couldnt give the round - Too many people see this as a master and pupil fight with Hatton getting a lesson - I see it as a boxer v a fighter and Hatton inflicting pain on Floyd that will be too much.

From what I recall, Tyson was acting like a bit of a prat when he came over to the UK. He went to some big Jewellers in central london, and 'bought' some stupidly expensive bracelet for 100,000 or some such figure, and said that Frank would pick up the tab, to which Warren replied 'nyet.'
Excuse me if I am incorrect, this is just my memory of what purportedly caused the altercation.

Hatton's not as big an underdog as Nigel was before McClellan. He was given pretty much no chance - none at all.
