Oneredtrim.... you didnt think frank warren,little jim watt or that moron steve bunce would come out beforehand and say they was washed up did you ?...nobody in the public eye will ever say that before a fight and rightly so.....but many people within and outside the game knew these 2 were shot fighters...i guess gym talk is not 100 % reliable but its certainly more honest ! The pointers you make about floyds face being different.....he is only human of course he is going to be worried when he has a train like that coming at him,but dont mistake that for fear...there are certain things that m

Evening oneredtrim.....i think many recognised before AND certainly after that tzsyu was all but finished....and lets face it,he has since retired so it kind of tells itself.....castillo had been in a lot of wars and without doubt his best days were behind him,whether he will fight again....he,s a crazy south american so probably !!......i believe he was caught with an honest punch and anybody who has drawn hands at any level will no that type of sickening body punch can finish a fight. You kind of lost me on the paul parker and maradona stuff.....but for sure,small moments can change the

Well im totally confused then mate.....there hasnt been a post on this all day,i suddenly wrote one a while ago saying the fight went how i thought it would....and within a few minutes you posted saying what you did.....maybe im wrong maybe it wasnt aimed at me but im sure you could see why i would think it was......anyway bolxxxks who cares lets just find a cat to kick
-
So if someone predicts that hatton will be stopped in the late rounds....and he does....and then the person says " the fight went how i thought it would "...thats wrong is it ? I think your talking with your chin on the floor mate and i understand that im as gutted as the next englishman.....theres an old saying " heart will only get you so far ".......yes it is to be admired human or animal....but when competing in the fast lane its often not enough.....all the best and chin up
-
Well personally i dont like him because of his ethnic background plain and simple.....if someone wants to call that racist then so be it,i call it pride in your country and your heritage. Although i agree he seems a nice enough kid with a sensible head on his shoulders and is definately a great talent.....I guess some of us are just too set in our ways.
-
If thats a dig at me mate....look back a few pages you will see i predicted a mayweather stoppage between rounds 6 - 9......ok i was a round out but it wasnt a hard fight to predict.....some people predict with the heart not the head and thats easily done but believe me im as gutted as you.....no need to start being a dick to me though......if it wasnt intended at me my apologies.
-
Jasper you didnt only hit the nail on the head,you smashed it through the floor !! the trouble is....it applies to ricky hatton more than anyone and you SHOULD be including hatton......his was a typical example....the 2 world class fighters he has ever fought were washed up and the only other time he went up to welter he struggled......to be fair i like hatton he,s a genuine guy,but he has serious limitations as a fighter......the mayweather fight last night went pretty much exactly as i thought....it was clear after 4 rounds hatton could not get to floyd,but what plan could he change to ? he

quote] BELIVE ME LADS , I HOPE IAM WRONG ................... BUT EARL SOUNDED A LITTLE PUNCHY TO ME , I HOPE HE RETIRES DUCKWING It was no secret that earl was not in good shape for this fight and it showed...he had very little punch resistance and even though he is still only 28/29 he has had a lot of wars.....thats to take nothing away from khan....the kid improves with every fight and is massive at the weight....
-
If you think graham earl is a stepping stone for anyone your wrong...but his best days are behind him and apparently he,s not in great shape at the moment....that said i think khan would beat him anyway....i dont like the kid but he,s got talent speed and strength...
-
Tomo hatton looked well dont get me wrong.....but he certainly wasnt cut to the bone,he looked hydrated and healthy.....like a man who hasnt had to cut weight...which he hasnt....mayweather was bang on the limit....by fight time he will be up around 155 while hatton will be the same weight he was last night..... I think hatton let himself down a little at the weigh in,.....cool calm and collected is better
-
: mayweather will be about 149/150 when they fight he'll be hydrating himself day He will be a lot more than that mate....come fight time mayweather will be up around 155 at least....i expect hatton to be at a full 10 pound disadvantage.....hatton look nowhere near as fine at the weigh in as normal simply because he didnt have to cut weight....the weight hatton was at last night is probably the weight he will enter the ring at.
-
Fight wont actually start till around 4 am..... last i saw hatton was 11/8 mayweather 4/7

Cant help direct mate but can get you a cheap days hire close to that area...50 quid for the day 7.5 ton

Ive said it before and i,ll say it again.......this will be the only choice we are left with as decent british people so why not now rather than later..... www.bnp.org.uk

! YES YOU MISSED THEM . YOU WERE WATCHING A DIFFRENT FIGHT FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD I think leonard missed them as well....his face at the end of the fight you would never have thought he had been in a fight !!! and for a man who had barely fought in 4 years who last time out had been put on his ass by a nobody like kevin howard !! Hagler was possibly the best middleweight ever but styles make fights and hagler would never have beaten leonard if they had fought 100 times....hagler has even admitted this since !
-
Yep i make you right bill......the thing giving me doubts is the simple fact that IF mayweather does deal with hatton for the first 5 rounds,what does ricky do then ?....pressure fighters only have one way to fight i just cant see what he will do...whereas mayweather is one of the best when it comes to adapting to his opponents style.....you mentioned benn/graham/naz etc....for me naz and graham had the reflexes to get away with that style.....benn didnt and im not sure mayweather does either....im predicting mayweather to stop hatton around 6 - 9....but id genuinely love to see hatton win,it
-
Thats a damn good post bill and you make some interesting points.... a few things that caught my eye...one being the weight....i believe mayweather come fight time is going to have at least 7 lb over hatton....as you know mayweather has fought at this weight for a while now,hatton did once and moved straight back down because it didnt suit him.....mayweather is naturally the bigger man even though he himself started at a lower weight.....this doesnt mean we can expect mayweather to be the stronger man but it does mean that once the weigh in is over mayweather will rehydrate healthier and come
-
just seen a clip of hatton in training....must admit although he looks sharp i hope he hasnt overtrained....noticed the big cold sore and patches of yellow marks on his face...its normal to have skin problems when in vigorous training....cold sores are normally a sign of fatigue/tiredness or emotional upset.......think the weigh in will be a good indicator.
-
hatton wont be below 145 mate....he wont give him 2 pound let alone 7.....a lot of this fight will depend on the referee......hatton does a lot of holding in a fight to get close...if the ref keeps splitting them it will be to mayweathers advantage....joe cortez is a very experienced referee....but he does live in america
-
As every other englishman i would love to see hatton win the fight it would be great for british boxing....but i just cant see it....i disagree with a few who have said hatton can adapt,he cant,he is a pressure fighter and pressure fighters dont do well off te back foot...that said mayweather can fight off the back foot and is comfortable there,which makes for an interesting fight....mayweather is technically superior and i dont think for 1 minute he has underestimated hatton....the one thing hatton has in his favour,is good old fashioned hunger and determination.....but in every other departm

....jesus,every single one..... what a dick !

Harry Redknap for me......firstly,i cant see any of the names mentioned so far even wanting the job....so it only leaves the rest of the english bunch( redknap probably being the best ) or another foreigner...quite like the idea of rafa benitez,plus he seems interested and has good experience of english and foreign football,something that could go against redknap.......failing that.......................Eddie the Eagle

Just because a dog has an inherited fault doesnt mean it will show itself it simply means it is carrying the fault...ie...it has an inherited weakness that is likely to show itself a lot easier than a dog not carrying the fault so it wouldnt necessarily be evident from a pup. By the sound of it anwl,your dog may just have tweaked it.....if you could possibly find out the parents / gr parents to your dogs history with this it may be a help,rest the dog up and see how it go,s mate,good luck.

Slipping patella IS a hereditary problem.....that doesnt mean it will ever come to the surface of course but obviously there is more chance it will in any offspring......as most of us bull breed lovers will probably know it is a fairly common problem....not to be confused with the actual injury of breaking the ligament,i forget what its called now ??...the same as what paul gascoigne did years ago...the ligament that stabilises the patella.... A slipping patella can but is not necessarily brought on by a heavy landing type of injury but is instead just the basic problem of having a fairly hea

I think your spot on Tommy.....lets not forget that haye has been saying for 2 years that he intended moving up after winning the title, its nothing new....maccaranelli can sit talking all he wants anyone who knows even a little about the sport can easily see that maccaranelli is almost a fraud ! i dont like to speak bad of any boxer but i read a bit of something he wrote today about how he thinks haye is ducking him and it makes me sick to be honest..... maccarenellis quality of opponents throughout his career is bordering on disgraceful !.... his last few fights have been a joke...bobby gun
