I heard the Hatton/Mayweather fight has been agreed in principal. I really like Hatton he is a peoples man. Mayweather may be a bit to much for him though. Should be a good watch either way.
supposedly the two camps agreed, now it just needs to be on paper. Dec 8 is the target date
steelba
07-30-2007, 10:02 AM
It'll be a good fight because both Hatton and Mayweather win decsions they shouldn't.
I always wondered who they'd rig it for if these 2 faught. Now i'll get to see...
Hatton will probably use his gay hugging technique to avoid getting punished while Floyd uses his equally weak running technique. Hugging and Dodging will be the order of the day imo.
CrazySicilian
07-30-2007, 07:41 PM
Ricky won't be able to use his clinch and two punch technique against Floyd. He'll get dominated easily IMO.
I'm really looking forward to Kessler - Calzaghe and Pavlik - Taylor.
In 08, De La Hoya wants the winner of Cotto vs. Mosley. In other words, Cotto vs. De La Hoya would be a great fight with Cotto taking him, setting up Mayweather-Cotto. :nod:

I actually met Hatton once in a bar in England. He was out with a couple of mates. Me not being a huge boxing fan did not realise how small he was. A nice bloke actually. Signed autographs and had his picture taken. He is well liked over here. A few of my mates were talking about heading over for this fight.
JM Marquez vs Juarez
Calzaghe vs Kessler
Cotto vs Mosley
Hatton vs Mayweather
J Guzman vs H Soto
Trinidad vs Jones. Yeah I know these two are passed their prime, but its still an intriguing match.
Pavlik vs Taylor 2. I expect another good fight, but a win from Taylor this time. Cotto/Mosley should be amazing.

Hatton is an arrogant prick too.
He has sex fests with his oppenents allday, with his hugging.
He got a fixed desciion when he entered the division.
That being said I think they're both overrated and the fight will be mediocre.
It will go the distance and the outcome has already been decided. The judges will determine the winner, as neither of these guys have knockout power in this weight class.

Your English you like his Arrogance, you don't like the AMERICAN'S.
You've made it clear you support English arrogance and despise American arrogance, way to be a racist.

Looks like Im the only one who is going for Cotto, that's ok, it wont be the first time the entire board went against me. I was the only one that predicted Pavlik over Taylor and of coarse people on the board say that was rigged (whatever). And the cut caused by a headbutt on Rocky didnt help him last night.

11-10-2007, 11:23 PM
Supposedly Casamayor got a rigged descion in the undercard fight. He lost every round and the judges called him the winner. Boxing is such a dirty sport.
Knew Mosely wouldn't win a decsion, i'll have to watch it next week on HBO to see just what went down.
I wonder who's gonna win the fixed decsion for Mayweahther/Hatton? Both fighters get gifted victories they didn't earn.
meh it was an alright fight. not the war I was expecting. Margarito destroys Cotto if they ever fight
Again I was right. I told you'll Cotto was going to win, Mosley was gased from about the 6th round and on. Of coarse theres no love for Cotto on the board, which I figured since everybody picked Mosley. ESPN has Cotto ranked the #1 contender for Mayweather. the other 3 fights were horrible, The first fight Ortiz threw 7 punches in the first round and KO'd Maussa with one of them, 2nd fight should have been ALOT better Casamayor maybe won 2 rounds while Santa Cruz completely out worked him, but they gave it to Casamayor which is a joke, they robbed Santa Cruz even thou both fighters where very sloppy. In my eyes that belt is up for grabs cause who ever fights Casamayor next should take it from him without a problem. Third fight, Margarito killed Golden Johnson (what a joke) another 1st round KO of the night. I loved Margarito's heart and was pulling for him when he fought Paul Williams but fell just short. And of coarse Cotto took care of buisness and won me $300 bucks.
From ESPN.COM
NEW YORK -- Miguel Cotto, the slugger and brawler, didn't figure to take a decision against the quicker, smoother Shane Mosley, but the Puerto Rican star turned the tables Saturday night.
Cotto, pounding away and stalking forward, retained his welterweight title in an exciting nip-and-tuck battle before a crowd of 17,135 Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
Cotto (31-0, 25 KOs), defending his title for the third time, had his hands full with Mosley, the former three-division champion who battled him on even terms for most of the fight. But the judges preferred Cotto's heavier punches, rewarding him with the victory. Glen Feldman and Peter Trematerra each had it 115-113 and Winn Kintz had it 116-113. ESPN.com had it 115-113 for the 27-year-old Cotto.
Miguel Cotto, right, lands a hook Saturday night on 'Sugar' Shane Mosley at Madison Square Garden.
When Cotto and promoter Top Rank made the fight they were banking on the fact that the younger Cotto could outlast Mosley (44-5, 37 KOs) and notch his first win over a superstar opponent. He did that and Mosley gave the young titleholder credit.
"It was a great fight. Miguel is very strong," Mosley said. "Not only was he powerful with pressure, but he can also box. He really mixed it up and did a great job out there tonight. He's a young lion on his way to greatness. For a guy to be going in the ring like that and the way I was fighting, and he kept fighting back, that's what made it a great fight."
Here's how tight it was: In a CompuBox anomaly, both fighters landed the same amount of blows. Cotto was 248 of 675 (37 percent) and Mosley connected on 248 of 774 punches (32 percent).
"We both did our best and we both gave it our all," Cotto said. "Mosley hit me with some real hard punches. However, I trained in camp with speed and movement and to face his kind of power. I did all that in Puerto Rico before I got here. I thought I was ahead the entire fight. I thought I had a big lead."
Cotto is now in line for another major fight as an undefeated titleholder and a top 10 pound-for-pound fighter.
"I'll fight whoever they tell me to fight, Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Ricky Hatton. Whoever the company tells me to fight," Cotto said. "All the big names."
Both fighters mixed up their punches and were effective with an assortment of shots. Both are crunching body punchers and went downstairs throughout the bout as the crowd cheered.
Although it was expected to be a Cotto house with so many Puerto Rican fans in attendance, there were times when the crowd also burst in chants for Mosley.
After a lot of infighting, Jack Mosley, Mosley's father and trainer, implored his son to use his jab more after the fifth round. Mosley tried to respond in the sixth, but Cotto continued to land left hooks and Mosley began to retreat.
"He definitely caught me with some good lefts, but never enough that I was going to go down," Mosley said. "But I definitely felt the buzz. I definitely hit him with some body shots and some other shots, but he's very tough."
In the seventh, Mosley altered his style a bit. After so much inside action, he got up on his toes and started to use the jab.
Although Cotto had bulled forward for most of the fight, it was Mosley coming forward over the final few rounds.
In the 10th, Mosley was attacking Cotto and drove him into the ropes, but his momentum was blunted when both men skidded on the water in the wet corner and referee Benjy Esteves briefly stopped the fight to wipe up the moisture.
Mosley slipped to the canvas on the moisture in the 12th, but he popped up and battled Cotto to the final bell.
On the way out of the ring, Mosley was classy to Cotto, saying: "Good luck champ. You're a real warrior."
HBO will show a replay next Saturday (9:45 p.m.) along with live coverage of junior lightweight titlist Joan Guzman defense against Humberto Soto.
Mosley, who had won five in a row, said he will consider retirement after a glorious career that includes two victories against Oscar De La Hoya.
"Maybe now I will put my promoter hat on," said Mosley, who is De La Hoya's partner in Golden Boy Promotions. "I'm not getting any younger. But if there was a rematch, I would consider it and maybe take that fight. There's also the winner of the Mayweather-Hatton fight. The welterweight division is the toughest division."

Not sure who's gonna win but both fighters get very iffy calls in some of their bouts so i'm curious to see who wins the descion. I really can't see anyone getting ko'd but it'd be sweet if someone did. I wonder which style will win, Mayweather's running away style or Ricky's hugging style :mhehe:
Did the Mayorga/Vargas fight already happen, cause I wanted to see that one pretty bad. They will atleast stand there and trade blows.

Hatton vs Mayweather is close. Can't wait. I'm expecting a fight to go the full 12 rounds. I really hope Mayweather gets battered, but he's so fast I doubt it will happen.
still don't get why everyone wants Mayweather to lose. He's not much of a fighter, but his defense is almost flawless. That's the name of the game, hit and don't get hit, and Mayweather relies on not getting hit. But he'll stand and trade, as he showed in his fight with De La Hoya. Most boxing fans like to see all out slugouts. Most don't respect Mayweather's skill and defense because they call it running. Sure Mayweather isn't really fan friendly, but he didn't start that. Fans start it and he plays along with it. It sells fights. I wasn't really a fan of Mayweather for those tactics, but I grew to love his skill and defense. I personally don't see anyone beating him, except for maybe Paul Williams, because Mayweather won't be able to reach him. I see a shutout for Mayweather against Hatton.
steelba
12-01-2007, 02:29 PM
You said it, he's not a good fighter, thats why I don't like him. His style has never been one I appreciate. I'll take Barrera or Pacqiuao any day over Mayweather. He just might be able to beat Hatton though, because Hatton really isn't much. I mean he lost his first fight here in America but they gave him the decsion anyways. His parents were looking all worried when the other guy pummled Hatton.
But I forsee a descion as neither fighter is good enough to knock the other out. Which will make for another overhyped fight. If only Dela Hoya tried to win and wasn't concerned with promoting/making money off this fight he woulda killed Floyd. Oscar just pulled all his punches and held back allowing for another descion win that Floyd didn't deserve :2far:

I disagree saying Hatton isn't much. He's an excellent fighter in his own right. He isn't the hardest hitter, but Mayweather isn't either. Hatton has a knack for hitting people in those places that make anyone weep, like right between the ribs. That's how he wins fights. It will put even the hardened figheters to their knees. I'm expecting a solid fight on Hatton's half and Mayweathers.

I never used to like him mostly due to his attitude, but Ive grown to like him over the past year mostly because what we see on TV and whatnot is all a show, at least thats what I think. Ive come to respect his abilities even though he doesnt slug out.But Im just being realistic about this fight, the guy has superb defensive and countering skills, thats what I think he is going to count on. And yeah I love slugfests, Diego Corrales being my all time favorite fighter. When I can afford it, I'm getting a tat to represent him.

I don't think it's fair to call Hatton garbage because he's blatantly not, crap fighters don't go most their career undefeated, he just wasn't good enough for Mayweather.
Unlucky Hatton, it was a pretty even fight until the 8th round (55-56 on points by then) when Mayweather just reminded everyone why he's the best. He will finish his career without losing a fight.

Hatton has admitted he would like to fight Mayweather again. He's not even close to ready to fight him again (let alone the fact he wasn't even ready to fight him in the first place.)
If he really wants to fight him again, he's got to fight lesser people in the Welterweight division, he completely dominated the Light-Welterweight division, but even thinking of fighting someone of Mayweathers calibre again is just dumb.
He couldn't hang with Mayweather who isn't a natural welter. the natural welter's would destroy him. He doesn't beat Mayweather this time around either. He needs to stay at 140, a lot of intriguing fights there for him. Malignaggi, Ricardo Torres, Junior Witter, Vivian Harris, Juan Diaz sometime in the future. If wants to get destroyed at 147, work on his head movement so he doesn't get beat too bad
