There's nothing to buy.
I've heard Hatton in interviews saying in his own words he was convinced and sure he was going to win that night.
Just because betting odds say someone's an underdog doesn't necessarily mean that fighter believes he's the lesser fighter or is supposed to lose.
even if hatton wasn`t self delusional and realized that he was an extreme longshot to beat a bigger,quicker,all-round better top pfp mayweather,did you really, seriously expect hatton to say,"i`ll probably lose to mayweather?...he`s bigger, quicker and just all-round better than me"?...
was that a serious comment?....
what fighter have you ever heard come out and say,"i know i`m outclassed,but i`ll give it the old college try"?.........
you expect them to "think/hope" they`ll win...and unless they want to get hit in the head with a shovel by the promoter,they`re certainly gonna say,"i`m gonna win"....
honestly,other than a few brits who may have been thinking with their hearts,very few objective,knowledgable boxing fans thought hatton was winning that fight..he fought hard...that`s what he was paid to do..
it was hatton vs a prime,pfp,razor quick mayweather...not an old,worn down,yo-yo weight deprived,i.v. dripped dlh vs pacquaio....
lets cut through the semantics...are you guys saying that you think hatton`s chances against pacquaio are about the same as his chances against mayweather?....
i see why folks think that manny will win...but,hatton`s chances are much better against manny than they were against mayweather,imo...
just look at the perception of knowledgable boxing fans on this board...
manny was life and death vs marquez...but most on here believe that marquez vs mayweather is a potential mismatch....
one person stated he expected floyd to be a 4-1 favorite...
