This would be in the topic of "Everything in between". I'm a big boxing fan, i always was, I'd have to say my favorite fighter was Mike Tyson. But, everyone loves Ali and why wouldn't you love him. but most people think there isn't anything interesting in other weight divisions. people wanna see blood and someone getting knocked down, or even knocked out. boxing is a physical sport, but it is a mental sport as well. if you've ever got into the ring and sparred, you'd know what i mean. you must out smart your opponent and use your strenghts. some have speed, some have quickness (those are two different things with regards to boxing.), some have relentless power, and some have heart. It takes a great boxing mind to be able to recognize this and use it to win a fight. This brings me to this fight taking place on Dec. 8th in Las Vegas. Two undefeated fighters "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr. (above left). goes up against Manchester, England's Ricky "hitman" Hatton, in a supremely hyped up fight. And it should be, they are both different fighters (Mayweathers' supremely precise defense, goes up against Hattons power and heart). HBO has been showing 24/7, a 4 part series diving in to the lives of both fighters as they prepare to do battle. I am rooting for Mayweather, who's signature shoulder leaning defense ( learned from his father Mayweather Sr., the shoulder defense was really like a family tradition, he has brothers who used to box as well, which are Jr's uncles.) will pose a problem for Hatton. That's the reason why he got his nickname, the shoulder arching defense keeps his face "pretty". They will battle for the WBC Welterweight (147lbs) championship belt , which Mayweather currently holds. Of course it will be on HBO Pay per view, if your saving to buy one fight this would be the fight to buy.
