Boxing's Fight Of The Century?
This saturday night/sunday morning see's what some are calling the fight of the century, in the boxing world.
Britains Ricky Hatton fight's USA's Flloyd Mayweather, both of whom are undefeated and world champions.
What are your predictions on the fight, and why?

Boxing sucks you can't kick them
Re: Boxing's Fight Of The Century?
Mayweather would have to break both of his hands to lose. Unfortunately.
Mayweather is the absolute perfect example of everything that's wrong with boxing and the reason why the UFC/WEC and MMA in general are going to rule the future of fighting. I truly wish Hatton luck. He's going to need it.
Re: Boxing's Fight Of The Century?
Like Ramses says, Mayweather is most likely going to win. Though Hatton's less annoying by far.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

Fight of the Century?
That was Tyson/Lewis in 2000... boxing's last taste of the major spotlight.
The "major" fights ever since have been last efforts from a dying sport, and none of them have truly been epic.
Oh, and I think Pretty Boy Floyd will take it.

Re: Boxing's Fight Of The Century?
i don't care much for boxing and definitely not for Mayweather's attitude but living under the mantra of "USA USA" any international fight my allegiance is pretty much chosen for me.
I personally prefer MMA simply because i'm training to compete.

Re: Boxing's Fight Of The Century?
This sure as hell isn't the fight of the century. Has everyone forgotten Benn vs McClelland? Holyfield vs Tyson? Liston vs Clay? Foreman vs Ali? etc...
Fight of the century my arse, but I'm staying up for it. GO HATTON. Teach that American version of Chris Eubank a lesson ( I'm convinced they are the same person after seeing the way he dresses, he's only missing the monocle.)
But seriously, it's a good match up. Technically good but lightweight puncher vs bar room brawler.
Not sure where my money is... but whoever wins this has to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world surely?
BTW if anyone in the Halifax area wants to come and see it just PM me. I've got beer on the go and plenty of space (2 of 6 sofa spaces free atm).
I don't think it's a dying sport, just a sport that needs a few characters. Unfortunately it's judged by the personalities of the heavyweights and there ain't too much there at the moment.Originally Posted by GeneralHankerchief

A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn. - Blackadder
