Manchester clubbing and the Pretty Boy

The fight of the year, the decade, the century, is but hours away at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. So what are the blogs saying about Mayweather-Hatton? Over at Bad Left Hook, they're pulling their punches to the extent that it's almost impossible to discern where they stand. Their heads say Mayweather, their hearts say Hatton and Matt Miller is so circumspect that one has to read between the lines to figure out how he thinks this is going to end: "Everything Hatton can bring to this fight has been brought to Floyd Mayweather before. You know the results." We do.

Meanwhile, Kevin Roberts at BritishBoxing is putting honesty before nationalism and gives the thumbs down to the Manchester clubber: " One of the thoughts doing the rounds is that Mayweather has underestimated Hatton. Absolute tosh, if anything in the last fortnight many people especially on this side of the pond have underestimated Mayweather. Make no mistake, Floyd Mayweather is an outstanding fighter, an all time great and for me this key." How great is the Pretty Boy? No video clip can convey his genius, but this one gives us an idea.
