Yer, sorry, Ya'll might be hatin' on Slick Ricky but come the 8th ya'll gonna be loving Slicky Rick. Recognize, thanks to Iceberg Slim for writing my trash talk. Fiddy or Kanye? I prefer MF DOOM, rizpec'."

We'd be sat here saying he had lost the plot. Floyd is going to shout a lot and after he's finished shouting he will say, "Did you see how loud I shouted, I owned that debate." He's American for gods sake, he is going to say more, say it louder but won't say anything witty.

Outside the ring, as inside, it's a case of contrasting styles. I thought the dancing quip was the more cutting considering Floyd was upset by the remarks post-Castillo.

Ricky knows what he's doing - playing the smiling, respectful quiet man, ignoring floyd's monkeying around. Mayweather is such a tool - and why do American hip hop types and athletes talk about themselves in the 3rd person....who do they think they are, Julius effing Caesar?

(I know Lennox used to do this also.....used to bug me too.)

Ricky's next step in the war is to bound onstage to 'Big Pimping' wearing a shirt saying: 'There is only one Richard Fatton (and Richard Hatton knows this for a fact!)'.

I find the 3rd person thing very confusing, as does Terry D.

Both of you find it confusing Joshua Fenton-Glynn has always been quite confident with it.

I predict a split decision win for Hatton that sets up a rematch in Wembley.

It is what I've been leaning towards. Tough, messy fight with lots of mauling mixed in with the scoring.

So he's going to beat Hatton like a bitch?

Well Floyd knows all about beating up women. Waht a c unt he is.

As for the bloke in Floyds corner, just another dumb Amercian hanger on.

Hatton will win.

Amerca the greatests country in the world. It owes its existence to England.

I agree Terry. The only way Hatton wins is if he wins ugly. He said so himself on skysports the other day, he's going to fight like he did against Tszyu.

This kind of annoys me, in the sense that Mayweather is a much better all round boxer, but Ricky knowing he can't compete by boxing/brawling he resorts to this hook and hold rubbish. Its physical and a "win by any means" attitude.

Where does Hatton go after this fight though if he wins? If its close you can bet Mayweather will want a rematch (ala Castillo) or if Hatton wins decisivly its either ODLH or the winner of Cotto v Mosely, fights where he would be a massive underdog.

Ones thing for sure if he wins, he can't go back to fighting Maussa/Urango level opponents.

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!
