Yep i make you right bill......the thing giving me doubts is the simple fact that IF mayweather does deal with hatton for the first 5 rounds,what does ricky do then ?....pressure fighters only have one way to fight i just cant see what he will do...whereas mayweather is one of the best when it comes to adapting to his opponents style.....you mentioned benn/graham/naz etc....for me naz and graham had the reflexes to get away with that style.....benn didnt and im not sure mayweather does either....im predicting mayweather to stop hatton around 6 - 9....but id genuinely love to see hatton win,it

Thats a damn good post bill and you make some interesting points.... a few things that caught my eye...one being the weight....i believe mayweather come fight time is going to have at least 7 lb over hatton....as you know mayweather has fought at this weight for a while now,hatton did once and moved straight back down because it didnt suit him.....mayweather is naturally the bigger man even though he himself started at a lower weight.....this doesnt mean we can expect mayweather to be the stronger man but it does mean that once the weigh in is over mayweather will rehydrate healthier and come

just seen a clip of hatton in training....must admit although he looks sharp i hope he hasnt overtrained....noticed the big cold sore and patches of yellow marks on his face...its normal to have skin problems when in vigorous training....cold sores are normally a sign of fatigue/tiredness or emotional upset.......think the weigh in will be a good indicator.

hatton wont be below 145 mate....he wont give him 2 pound let alone 7.....a lot of this fight will depend on the referee......hatton does a lot of holding in a fight to get close...if the ref keeps splitting them it will be to mayweathers advantage....joe cortez is a very experienced referee....but he does live in america
-
As every other englishman i would love to see hatton win the fight it would be great for british boxing....but i just cant see it....i disagree with a few who have said hatton can adapt,he cant,he is a pressure fighter and pressure fighters dont do well off te back foot...that said mayweather can fight off the back foot and is comfortable there,which makes for an interesting fight....mayweather is technically superior and i dont think for 1 minute he has underestimated hatton....the one thing hatton has in his favour,is good old fashioned hunger and determination.....but in every other departm

Harry Redknap for me......firstly,i cant see any of the names mentioned so far even wanting the job....so it only leaves the rest of the english bunch( redknap probably being the best ) or another foreigner...quite like the idea of rafa benitez,plus he seems interested and has good experience of english and foreign football,something that could go against redknap.......failing that.......................Eddie the Eagle

Just because a dog has an inherited fault doesnt mean it will show itself it simply means it is carrying the fault...ie...it has an inherited weakness that is likely to show itself a lot easier than a dog not carrying the fault so it wouldnt necessarily be evident from a pup. By the sound of it anwl,your dog may just have tweaked it.....if you could possibly find out the parents / gr parents to your dogs history with this it may be a help,rest the dog up and see how it go,s mate,good luck.

Slipping patella IS a hereditary problem.....that doesnt mean it will ever come to the surface of course but obviously there is more chance it will in any offspring......as most of us bull breed lovers will probably know it is a fairly common problem....not to be confused with the actual injury of breaking the ligament,i forget what its called now ??...the same as what paul gascoigne did years ago...the ligament that stabilises the patella.... A slipping patella can but is not necessarily brought on by a heavy landing type of injury but is instead just the basic problem of having a fairly hea

I think your spot on Tommy.....lets not forget that haye has been saying for 2 years that he intended moving up after winning the title, its nothing new....maccaranelli can sit talking all he wants anyone who knows even a little about the sport can easily see that maccaranelli is almost a fraud ! i dont like to speak bad of any boxer but i read a bit of something he wrote today about how he thinks haye is ducking him and it makes me sick to be honest..... maccarenellis quality of opponents throughout his career is bordering on disgraceful !.... his last few fights have been a joke...bobby gun
-
Yep fair comment and your right styles make fights....i just feel maccaranelli suffers the same troubles as his stablemate....a total fear of losing a fight !....maccarenelli has more experience than haye yet look at the difference in opposition of their last fights...macc fought a virtual nobody haye fought the world number 1......i respect the fact that haye put himself in a do or die position for that fight last night and went to the world number 1 fighters back yard and put his cards on the table...its a rare thing with british fighters these days and in my opinion that is the only reason
-
Bill you really think macarenelli would have an easy time with haye ? that surprises me...i talk with a lot of lads who know their boxing and your one of the first ive heard that think he would win......myself i dont go along with the current enzo calzaghe ravings...i think he is a good trainer but not great,and i certainly believe that had joe gone with a top class trainer his career would probably have taken a different course...he may have lost a few but he would have probably also beaten a few top class fighters as well...gavin rees i think should be flattered by his top 10 world rating...

So whats yous opinions on the fights....personally i dont think Froch was tested at all and needs to set his sights higher,reid was finished 4 years ago......Haye did a good job but showed his basic technical weaknesses....i dont think he will go further than a british title as a heavyweight but agree he cant go on as a cruiser.....cotto i thought won on the fact that mosley simply could not hurt him...it was the typical boxer/fighter contest and on this occasion the fighter won and deservedly so....possible future opponent for hatton if he he gets past mayweather...after all,if hatton wins ca
-
3 fights this weekend....whats your predictions.... Froch - Reid............Hopefully Reid but my brain says Froch by stoppage. Haye - Mormeck......Haye by ko. Cotto - Mosley ........ Mosley by decision. Lets see who can get 3 out of 3

Most of these so called " undercover operations " are no more than clever advertising....most of what they do doesnt even warrant a tiny quarter page article in a local paper yet most times anything they do recieves much more coverage than it should,tv in this case !......nothing makes granny put her hand in her pocket quicker than seeing the great work these wankers do...if they didnt rely on donations i guarentee most of their cases wouldnt even make the news.
-
Gnasher you've made some good points,and you obviously know your boxing,but i don't believe Calzaghe ducked anyone.Yes there was talk of fights that never happened,but the fact is,when Jone's was offered a fight against Calzaghe,he refused to fight outside the U.S.As for fighting Wright,Well 10 years ago,Wright was fighting at light middle,and Calzaghe has always been a "big" super middle (obvious to all,that Calzaghe was drained at the weigh in for the Kessler fight),and lets not forget the build up to the lacey fight,Joe was the underdog,and Lacey had been labelled the "new Mike Tyson" by th
-
When it comes to who is better than who its just opinions....so mcguigans opinion is calzaghe is the best to come out of uk...thats his opinion....i would say calzaghe has had more success than any other british fighter in recent history without doubt...but for me a great fighter should be judged on the great fights he had and the great fighters he beat.....calzaghe decided he didnt want to take the route of fighting other top fighters a long time ago so for me he gave up the right to be judged as a great fighter himself....succesful yes,an all time great no.... If greatness is decided by suc
-
was lucky enough to be at this fight last night....thought calzaghe fought a sensible fight,he had some scarey moments but his pure physical fitness,speed and athletic intelligence brought him a pretty comfortable win....i was surprised at kesslers size he was very big at the weight....im told it sounded a real good atmosphere on telly which it wasnt,the place was just too big and the atmosphere was lost. personally i wouldnt like to see calzaghe move up to light heavy but instead go all out for one of the big names preferably hopkins and if he has to travel over there then its time he did

Cant go wrong with a bmw mate even an old one....that car should be good for 200 plus so i wouldnt worry about mileage.....had one of them tourers back years ago,travelled europe over a 3 month period and never missed a beat,even performance and fuel economy was good. Dont see many of them about these days,good luck if you get it.

This has posed another question: Is there a connection between the number of times a bitch stands for a dog and the size of the litter? Nobody knows for sure....a bitch might have 6 pups regardless if she stands once or 10 times...BUT...unlike humans a dog can be fertilised by more than one male and produce offspring from both dogs,this suggests that pups can be conceived on different matings....whether that has any relation to size of litter im not aware that has been proven. In regards to size of litters.....inbreeding WILL cut down the amount of pups in a litter due to less var
-
Higgins you are kind of right in what you say,however " recessive " doesnt necessarily mean bad.....a dominant gene can be passed on by an individual regardless of the other mix of genes...a recessive gene will need a similar or identical make up of genes to produce itself....in other words it needs to come from both sides.....you are right in that inbreeding will not necessarily SHOW the bad...but likewise it will not necessarily SHOW the good even though the capability of those qualities is still there through the genetic make up....in other words,not all good or bad traits will show themsel
-
Pip for dogs to be set as a family they need to be showing family traits...in other words traits typical of their heritage.....this can take 3 generations or it can take 10...a lot of it depends on the original dogs you are inbreeding off...if they are very loose bred dogs to start it is going to take a lot longer to tighten them up to where they are throwing select family traits...and of course if you are doing it right you will be culling more than you are keeping slowing the process down still further. If you bred a dog back to one of its parents and then bred 2 of the resulting littermate
-
Thats one of the strangest theories ive ever heard !...so for every 2 generations of inbreeding you have to outcross right ?......its simply not as black and white as that.....every case is different there cant be set rules to family breeding.......for instance,maintaining that theory over 10 generations will result in totally scatterbred dogs with no likeness or purity whatsoever...the reason to inbreed is to tighten up genetically and make the genes past down more predictable....if you inbreed for 2 generations then outcross,then inbreed on those outcrossed dogs you are just running round in
