Thread: What will Floyd have accomplished after beating Ricky Hatton?

Just fight Mosley, Hatton and Cotto no more than that and no less

Sometimes its seemed like PBF's fans almost have had a persecution complex, everybody who criticized Floyd for even the slightest thing, even if it was a valid criticism, was a "hater."

But this post is a pretty good sign that for some people, nothing he'll ever do is right. Floyd deserved criticism for a while after the second Castillo fight when he was fighting guys that were way below his level, but its ridiculous to act like fighting Hatton is a waste of time. I might rather see Floyd-Cotto but this is a big time fight. This fight would make Floyd's last four fights be Judah, Baldomir, ODLH and Hatton. Sorry but that's a good list.

Stupid thread.

Hatton steam rollered a Castillo that didnt need to make weight and Chavez

Ok, what I meant to say is, I realise that Floyd has gone up weights and has lost that edge in power and strength.

Osacr if he were younger would have sustained the attacks but he couldnt, Hatton will and Hatton wether anyone likes it or not will throw Floyd around, Hatton will be the realist fight that Floyd has signed for in a long time, also Floyd will be dropping weight Jones style

Oh and Cotto hasnt done as much as Hatton to be well regarded as a champ, Hatton has fought 4 world champs and defended against a legend in his last 5 fights, whats Cotto done, how many times has Cotto only just held on to his title? Corley, Torres and Judah all had him going and none were defending champs.

Cotto aint in Hattons league, thats why he scraping the barrel fighting everyones leftovers in Judah

Cotto's done more than Hatton at 147 which is where this fight would most likely take place. And Cotto would KTFO Hatton at 147 too,I have no doubt about that.

ur right floyd will have to drop a whole 3 pounds, he weighned in 150 during delahoya fight and ull see ricky hatton look amazingly foolish, this fight wont be half as copetetive as mayweathers first fight with castillo,or the delahoya fight. and hatton steam rolled a very out of his prime weight drained castilo, and u should watch the hcavez fight , it was actually pretty good

Hatton will be too copetetive for mayweather, more so than hcavez

Whatever. People will never be happy with Mayweather there's always a freaking excuse for everything. All these "boxing pundents" want Mayweather to fight Hatton even Brian Kenny screaming at Floyd "Who beat Kostya tszyu!! Who beat Kostya Tszyu!! You aren't the real champ!"

And now Floyd finally decides to fight Hatton then its "Hatton was handpicked by Floyd he has so many holes" and etc etc etc he needs to fight Cotto.

And If he was fighting Cotto people would say "Floyd is no Zab judah he willstick to the openings Judah found and outbox the flat footed Cotto he needs to fight the guy who just beat the person who people think beat him and the person who beat the person who took his toughest opponent(judah) and starched him in 2 rounds I mean Ricky Hatton!"

And if he fought them both people would say "They just were overhyped anyway and flat footed and one dimensional he should fight Margarito who he's been ducking for years!!"

People will never be satisfied no matter what he does, I think I finally see Mayweather's point.

Let's look at the competition and the performances

Cotto's last 5 fights

Judah trouble early leading to an impressive stoppage

Performance: EXCITING!!!

Urkal an underperformance

Performance: boring

Quintana shaky before he caught up with him

Performance: Normal

Malignaggi competitive fight which Cotto won by taking the championship rounds.

Performance: Exciting

Malignaggi and Judah are the only good names on there, Quintana I don't count as much because I never held Julio in high regard and especially won't now since that rivera fight.


Hatton's last 5 fights

Castillo, I don't think anyone could see that Castillo was past it. I'll give Hatton the victory, but it was the still 2 punch and grab style that made us go to sleep at the Urango fight

Performance: Normal

Urango... do I need to say anything

Performance: boring

Collazo.. again Do I need to say anything!?!? But good back and forth action mainly exciting as Hatton survived the onslaught he received.

Performance: Exciting

Maussa, you've got to be kidding me, it was a good stoppage however.

Performance: Normal

Kostya tszyu, his biggest win, amazing he's only had 5 fights after it.

Performance: Exciting

Best name on there was and is Tszyu and since then its been just a roller coaster ride. Even the Castillo fight was looking to head the same way before the body shot, the punch twice and grab of Hatton.

The names are there, but the competition isnt. I hope you get that.

Now lets look at Floyd's last 5

Oscar De La Hoya

A lot of hype and a Floyd Matweather fight in which he beat Oscar, and Oscar was more there then Tszyu was in the Hatton fight and showed he still has a lot to offer regardless Floyd Mayweather won the fight in his first fight at 154 and it was an exciting fight at times before he shut Oscar down.

Performance: more exciting then usual

Carlos Baldomir the undisputed welterweight champ and even if he isn't the greatest fighter, he beat Zab Judah too, and was the recognized welterweight champion Floyd fought him and beat him in a boring fight.

Performance: Boring

Zab Judah, this was an exciting fight where Mayweather faced fire early and came back to dominate Zab Judah, it was a good fight and not boring at all

Performance: Normal

Sharmba Mitchell warm up fight in which Floyd was exciting and dominate even slugging more often in which I included said he was much more wide open in this fight then any other before it because of his willingness to trade and go toe to toe.

Performance: Exciting

Arturo Gatti, one of the most exciting versions of Floyd Mayweather you can ever find at times appearing like it was only him fighting he was an offensive monster in this fight and very exciting.

Performance: Exciting and Dominant!!!!

So what were you saying?

And Hatton may be exciting or "funner to watch" to you.

But at the end of the day it isn't the most exciting fighter who wins. it's the better fighter and just because Hatton's more exciting doesn't make him a better fighter. Mayweather is, no matter how exciting, he's the better fighter.

Star heres a cc to you. You definately made a vary vary valid point. and I agree completely.

Your on glue. Hatton fought 4 defending champs... For christ sake only one of them was a real champ who had ever beaten anybody worth a damn.... Urango, was gifted his title in a fight he should have lost against Ben Rabah... Who was TKOEd by N'dou who Cotto beat before that.. Not that that's the point... Collazo really hadn't beaten anyone before he fought Hatton, though many thought he beat Ricky Maussa... Well, Cotto beat him faster than Hatton did a couple years earlier, and he was never a top fighter. Sooooo, basically Hatton has beaten KT.. Sure, great win. But to pretend like Hatton is a level above Cotto at the present time, at 147, is downright stupid.

You thought Sharmba and Gatti were exciting fights for Floyd ?

Both were damaged goods, Sharmba was splattered in 3 by Tszyu before Floyd relatively struggled with him (by relatively, Sharmba was damaged after the Tszyu shellacking, was in the fight a whole lot more than he was with Kostya and lasted a round more)
