Hatton Shows Some Rare Courage When In Front of Manchester fans

mayweather-hatton33323232.jpgBy Gary Jones: After a week of watching Ricky Hatton get constantly embarrassed over and over again by Floyd Mayweather Jr,, Hatton finally showed a little courage at Manchester when he let loose with a couple four letter words directed at Mayweather. It was funny, but also sad, mainly because Hatton had stood by in earlier press conferences, smiling silently and chewing his gum with a ridiculous look on his face like he was too embarrassed to respond. But once in Manchester, Hatton suddenly gets brave and finally responds now that he’s backed by thousands of his fans, many of them singing English songs, cursing and drowning out any comments made by Mayweather.

The best that Hatton could say, however, was calling Mayweather a “puff” and “a six year old,” mixed in with a couple of four letter words. It was pathetic of Hatton, and made him look less than courageous in large part because he had waited until he was in front of his home fans to finally respond to Mayweather’s constant insults. Up until then, Hatton had been repeatedly nsulted by Mayweather, who had done an excellent job of making a complete fool of Hatton.

It was truly sad, a classic case of a person who couldn’t stand up on his own two feet alone and face down an important adversary. It was only until he had all his devoted, half-crazed fans shouting approval for him that he could finally utter a few words in his defense. Before then, Hatton had trouble even looking Mayweather in the eye. So bad was it, that Mayweather had even whispered sweet nothings in Hatton’s ear, yet he had done nothing to fend him off and was completely getting punked in front of thousands of people, not to mention the millions that have seen the press conference on Youtube.

From what I’ve seen, Hatton has already lost the the mental fight, and will most assuredly lose the real fight because he’s not able to deal with Mayweather’s mind games.

    Steve, Cardiff:

    PS. That photo of Floyd says it all. What a wanker!





    Steve, Cardiff:

    Ive never read such bollocks in all my life. How this writer has the balls to say that it was embarassing to watch Hatton must be as witless as Floyd himself. The difference being is Hatton is a level headed down to earth kind of guy who doesn’t believe the hype unlike the attention seeking Floyd. Floyd comes across as a bit thick if you ask me. Good job he was blessed with his boxing skills, cos he’d never be a stand up comedian, or come to think of it, a shelf-filler. He has his entourage of bling weighted yes men at his side 24/7 whooing and wailing like a bunch of banshees and this writer says Hatton’s embarrasing. Geeeez u guys never cease to amaze me! C’mon Hatton, do what the vast majority of boxing fans want to see and knock Floyd from his monumental pedestal.

    Mayweathers cool i like him. Hes infamous and always backs up his word for most of the time. He is a dark prince indeed.
    Hattons good to, but i hate his style its boring punch and grab like john ruiz people only like someone who can move forward like chavez, unlike ruiz hatton is devastating on the inside.
    This fight will probably be like the chavez-whitaker fight with whitaker pot shoting away and chavez following him to no effect.

    As long as Mayweather makes sure he finishes strong he will win. If he toys with him in the 12th he will get robbed because boxers are unpopular compared to punchers/swarmers even if he wins 11 rounds and gives 1 away at the end then hatton may win or get a draw like chavez did whitaker.
    So mayweather needs to understand that and finish strong in the 12th.

    As you know my prediction UD Mayweather by complete shutout like baldomir.
