Mike Tyson: "I Don't Like Floyd Mayweather"
By Mark Vester
WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has plenty of critics in sport and a long line of people that want to see Ricky Hatton pull off the upset on Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is one of them.
Speaking with Daily Express, Tyson made it clear - he's in Las Vegas to back Hatton, and he's not a fan of Mayweather. Hatton's hard road to the top and simple demeanor has won over Tyson. Whether it's Mayweather's flashy lifestyle or the constant boasts of being the best fighter in the history of boxing, something about Floyd's character has rubbed Tyson the wrong way.
“I just want the best man to win,” said Tyson. “And that means Ricky Hatton. He’s a great kid. I don’t like Floyd Mayweather.”

Floyd Mayweather is a bitch. Stick and move. He has NO KO power, and just tries to score and get out.
He is lightning fast, but Hatton has quick and powerful hands, from both sides. I do not know is Hatton is patient enough to take the fight to Mayweather, but I am willing to bet there is a 24 foot ring as Mayweather will get this to give him room to run.
I am laying a small bet on under 12 rounds and Hatton +200. Who knows, Hatton could catch him with that left.
