Haye would beat him IMO. As long as HAYE still tries to fight as if the3y were of similar size, he takes it.

 

Hatton posting more pics that make him look even thinner

What an exciting fight that was!

 

SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

When Groves got that cut I thought it was all over and would be stopped but what a knockdown. Thank god the corner threw the towel in.

 

 

The question is, what now for the lad?

Kenny Anderson grudge match in September which will probably be put back now so the cut can heal properly. The Sierra fight was supposed to be a warm-up because Groves had been out for 8 months with injuries. It was maybe a bad choice fighting Sierra because of the size disadvantage and his brawling style. The clash of heads was a glorifed heabutt which could of been avoided. But the four punch, right-left combo that finished Sierra off was brilliant. I don't think it would have mattered if the towel hadn't been thrown in, the referee was about to stop the fight because Sierra was going down again.

Rapper 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - recently started up The Money Team Promotions (TMT) with his close friend Floyd Mayweather, and he seems intent on shaking up the boxing industry. Like many fans of the sweet science, 50 Cent realizes the sport isn't doing too well right now, but he's confident TMT promotions will be able to take boxing into a prosperous new era.

50 Cent officially received his promoter's license in the state of New York a week ago, and he's already signed top prospects like Yuriorkis Gamboa and Andre Dirrell. The former junior Olympian says it's just the beginning, and he's confident he'll be able to sign many more big stars in the future.

"We want to change boxing," 50 Cent said during a recent interview. "The goal initially is to create a company by fighters, for the fighters, which breaks the traditional vibe of promoters taking advantage of fighters.

Aye but even just him sending out a few tweets (just checked and he has nearly 7 million followers) will have a lot more people knowing about a fight than they would normally (De la Hoya has just over 300,000 for a comparison)

 

Also I'm pretty sure Snooki (the bint from Jersey Shore) just ran a successful Boxing card which would have been greatly helped by her being a celebrity.
