Hatton Or Mayweather?

'Hatton or Mayweather?' Should be the question on every body's lips in the build-up to tonight's WBC Welterweight title fight.

The question doesn't seem to be being asked as the main consensus seems to believe that Ricky Hatton will walk out the victor.

And that's where I come in.

I personally think the fight will end with Mayweather's arms raised. It seems that I am in the minority. The only person I have heard doubting a Hatton win is Colin Hart the famous boxing journalist who was a guest on the breakfast show on Talk Sport yesterday morning.

I've had plenty of arguments about the outcome myself. I have turned down offers of bets from friends and have even been challenged to shave all my hair off if I am wrong!

Their rationale was that the crowd was going to be behind Hatton because they dislike Mayweather. My answer was simple.

He's fighting Hatton - not the crowd.
