Paq Man or Hatton....this Saturday. Whos going to win?

I'm new here but i guess theres no sports section...and this hasnt been mentioned yet. Huge fight. I'm taking Hatton win by KO. I dont think Manny should be fighting in the 140s. Sure he can beat some ok fighters at that weight....but not the best ones. Hes just too small. Paul Williams can dip that low...and hes 6'2 and can box very well. I think Manny should stay in the 130s.

Ah boxing, boxing, boxing. What a failure of a sport that has come to be. No personalities and no good fights. This one is no different.

Hatton will win but I wish he wouldn't. I hope some day he gets his arogant mancunian faced pummled into a non public existence.

If you think boxing is bad, try wrestling. What has WWE done to it?

And I never got boxing. It's basically two meatheads/roidragers smacking each other until someone falls over. Martial arts are fine though, I'm quite into asian ones in particular; I'm learning how to use the Monkey Fist.

I haven't watched wrestling since I was 13 years old. So I have no idea. What have they done to it?

destroyed it, thats what

How so?

Oh and on the subject of sport. Ashes tickets 145 quid? wtf? So I bought england v west indies tickets instead.

1. It's all staged.
2. They all do steroids.
3. If they don't, they've had fat implants in their arms and necks.
4. They all have terrible names.

Since when was that any different?

I quite like Boxing me. It shouldn't be about the personality, so much as the skill. Hatton will demolish this Manny bloke, no problem.

Mind you, I quite enjoy watching Snooker on the telly as well.

Snooker is best watched in black and white with the sound down.

The "storyline" got worse, all the good wrestlers left (Stone Cold and Mankind anyone?) think of wrestling nowadays like Matrix 2 & 3 all bells and whistles no substance.

Well I rather like playing a spot of cricket,I don't know much about boxing though but my dad does(he used to box in his youth,won a small trophy).So anyway since my dad hasn't box since way back I guessed Hatton,and yes they have done something rather appualing to wrestling I don't watch it anymore,yet I don't see much the point of sports like boxing or wrestling.

I could beat up a WWE wrestler blindfolded, thanks to my trusty monkey fist. The stance for it is really silly, but you won't be thinking that when I rip your spine out and beat you to death with it.

Yet you will never defeat my Tiger style I will rip your guts out and strangle you to death with them and then use your arm bone as a shovel to dig you a shallow grave *evil laughter*.

Back to boxing any of you guys box?

3 words:

STONE COLD STUNNER

Try that when I'm force-feeding you your leg.

Frazzled is sad as this thread has almost nothing to do with booze. Tease!

Manny almost singlehandedly got me interested in boxing again a few years back. Taught me to respect the little guys, who actually have interesting, active fights, when the heavyweights were sucking air and boring us to death.

I'm not watching much boxing right now, but guys like Mayweather and Hatton and Manny are still fun to watch. If it wasn't for the weight thing, I'd say Manny would rip Ricky apart. As it stands, I have high hopes for a good fight.
