I don't like the fact the fight is at welter as ricky is a natual 140lb fighter- although he does have longer to get the weight right this time than when he fought collazo.

provided the weight doesn't hinder him i think he can get the win- he knockeed out one of the toughest fighters around with one punch lto so he could stop mayweather if he catches him with a good body shot...

i think mayweather will suprise us with his strength as he has developed nicely into a good welterweight and is quite a bit bigger than hatton, so don't be suprised if ricky gets out muscled at times....but he'll be running most of the fight like he always does...

it really can go either way- ricky stopped on cuts is possible, ricky outpointed by mayweather running all night- or hatton getting him with all the pressure and grinding out a points win is also realistic, as is a hatton KO win if he lands a good body shot.

the bookies are being tight, 4/9 for mayweather, yet just 13/8 for hatton- doesn't seem t oadd up really does it- you'd expect 2/1+ if mayweather is so short...i won't be betting, i'll just watch it and will ricky hatton on

dont use a uk sportsbook and you'll get better odds on hatton, same as the world cup and anything else england are in, the bookies always underprice us as they know people will take the odds offered

as for the fight..... if hatton is as pumped up as he was for the kostya tszui fight he will win, anything like the last 2 fights and he'll lose

Fair point, although I'd say his last fight was just as impressive as when he beat Kostya, after all, he did KO Castillo in the 4th round!!

I will have a above average bet on hatton, grit and determination and lionhearted is his strong points similiar to nigel ben.Mayweather big fav but nothing like supporting the underdog especially when there english.come on ricky.
