redfiona99Because I'm so totally psyched for the Hatton v Mayweather match. And totally cheering Ricky Hatton on because, even if he wasn't one of our local heroes, he's a damn sight better as a man that Floyd Mayweather, who totally only won the De La Hoya fight through corruption.
Also I'm slightly in love with his version of trash-talking:
Hatton, during his press conference in Manchester. "Thank you all for coming. It's good to be back in Manchester. We've had a long tour, a very tiring tour, but it's great to come back and see my friends, see my family... [turning to Mayweather, sat next to him] Floyd, will you stop touching my ****, you poof."
Later, at the same press conference: "I've missed my son, my six-year-old son, for a week, but I probably haven't missed him quite as much as you would probably think because I've had the good fortune to spend the full week with another ******* six-year-old."
Hatton, when asked about Mayweather's defensive style: "We all know he likes to run, so I've got two special sparring partners in Carl Lewis and Forest Gump."
Hatton, as the pair square-up at a photo-call: "You're not going to kiss me, are you, Floyd?"
While Mayweather is giving it the whole 'I am da man, I keeel you' spiel, it's probably the best way to take the wind out of his sails.
