Mike Tysons rooting for Hatton...

"I want Hatton to win," said Tyson. "I like his style, I like his attitude. I'm not the same with Mayweather. I don't like the flash stuff. I don't like the way he acts with money and the arrogance. It's going to be tough for Hatton to win but it would be good for the sport if it had someone like him right at the top."

Aside from this, anyone watch the Khan fight.

AHAHAHAHAHA!

It lasted just one minute and twelve seconds.
