Anyone see the Hatton v Mayweather 24/7.  Its really impossible not to like Hatton as a person.  Its so refreshing to see someone who has come into a lot of money still be the person they was before the fame.  I still pick Mayweather to nick the fight but hope Hatton wins.  Mayweather looks like he doesnt see Hatton as a real challenge but I dont believe that.   I dont think he really is taking this easy and he knows Hatton is a dangerous fighter.

Hes a sound lad for a manc but ill overlook that because hes a great boxer. Mayweather is far to confident and i think hes in foe one hell of a shock. I really cant wait for this fight im so confident Hatton will win, Ill even go as far as to say that Hatton will win inside the distance,

After this fight though if i was Hatton i would go for one more big name and then call it a day, Go out on top Ricky lad

I like him too, seen him on tv earlier driving around in a replica of Del Boys 3 wheeled van lol...BUT I think Patterson will take it on points . Be nice to see him humbled tho.

I'd love to see Hatton win but I fear that mayweather wil just run backwards for 12 rounds throwing jabs out as Hatton runs into them and will win on points.

i thought he had a broken jaw in 4 places thats why he quit?

i know ali had a broken jaw after george cracked it and still won but different people and that!

Frank Warren and ITV are crazy if they running the Khan fight on the same night.

Don't they usually do a British bill on Sky at normal British viewing hours and then have a US bill on at 4 in the morning showing the big US fight,and you pay one fee to watch both.

I remember british fights being on at "normal time" while I was trying to stay up to watch a big US fight.

I found out a couple of fight on the undercard

Jeff Lacey v Peter Manfredo

Daniel Ponce De leon v Eduardo Escobar

This De Leon kid seems to be a very good prospect so looking forward to seeing him.

Thats if they let me on the plane im gonna have to try and hobble on my dodgy knee

:D

I can't wait for this one, I hope he wipes that arrogant little smirk off Mayweather's face.

Peter Manfredo is a joke.  The idiot from the contender programme.  Was a disgrace that he got a world title fight.
