Three judges and harold lederman aint wrong peeps
but haters are
:P
just because it was close... and it would have been way less close if ricky had more then 5 odd weeks to make weight and keep the muscle and stamina he has whilst on top of his game...
most camps are around ten weeks and half of his camp was spent making 140 pounds to fight juan lazcano at 140 before juan pulled out with an injury!!
ricky just said... right i need a fight and quick.. ricky if you can make wieght here is your shot at bieng two weight world champ! and he needed a fight for his scheduled bout on hbo so he took it, it was close and he won it... back down to 140 where he is the man and where he intended on staying...
where as floyd in his last three fights has fought gatti for the lww title.. (the man who didnt beatthe man)
then fought sharmba mitchell... a tough guy but there was no danger in the fight and floyd breezed through him...
and then fought zab who i respect as a fighter but he still had one title that they let him keep after his loss to baldomir because they had already been setting up a title bout with floyd and nobody expected carlos to beat him.. so he wasnt the man either...
so not only is it floyd that is the one moving away from hatton.... but he hasnt done much to impress hatton into making the fight with him...
so ricky asks this much money because he has fought three good opponents in his last three fights...
and floyd says no thats the money only floyd mayweather makes even though he has fought three safe fights...
props to floyd for taking the baldomir fight but in my opinion neither fighter is scared of one another ... neither is majorly more impressive then the other... but if anyone has more claim to the other not wanting to fight its hatton!!
peace
