HAT OFF!
first off, i want to apologise for the boos when the usa anthem was sung, i hate, i really fucking do. i am one patrotic mother fucker, but it realy does discut me when an anthem is played and boos are heard.
Now for "the truth" i backed mayweather all along, i said on here he does it in 10, 2nit, being a brit ofc everyone i know backed hatton, i told them all if ricky even makes the final bell and floyd wins i'll pay out...
Now any hater left take your hat off, because what you seen tonight was a great, no question. People have slated floyd for being boring, for fighting on the back foot. I have said all along, fighting on the back foot is the hardest thing to do in this sport, it is the most mastered art one can do.
Coming into this fight, with some of floyds lack luster proformences, i was tied who the p4p no1 was?
I hate the p4p system. It makes sense in theory, but i can not normally judge it turly. Coming into this fight, i was tied... Floyd without a doubt is he best "boxer" in the world, but being just a boxer doesn't make you p4p #1... after (yes the welsh boy talks about joe again) joes last fight he showed not just great skill, but great everything, i was tied to the point, maybe he has the right to be #1.
People asked me my opinion fo this fight, like i said, mayweather in 10. BUT floyd has never been truly taken to the trenches, he has never been invloved in a truly grity, ugly fight...
Whislt i have always backed mayweather, this is boxing, and anything can happen. One doubt played in the back of my mind (the reason why i thought Joe could contest his right at #1) can floyd pervail if he is taken to the trenches? never before have we seen mayweater really fucked and pushed to the limit, and while i do not consider hatton to be the fighter to apply the "educated preassure" he had the chance of taking mayweather to a place he had never been before...
Tonight we seen a true legend, there more impressive in this sport then a fighter who can do what floyd did on the back foot. He timed that winning punch better than any punch i have ever seen in boxing.
Hattton donhing he should of. He was all over him like white on rice, but at the end of the day, floyd was truly unbelieveable... he showed why he has never been dragged in the trenches, because he is so un fucking realy skilled.
I'm not saying he is the best ever, he still needs cotto and maybe some others. But what we all seen tonight was a truly amazing fighter winning in a turly amazing way.
TO all of you who slag floyd off for "running" and fighting off the back foot, you are sad, SC me all you want, but that was an alltime great fighting tonight.
Yes i would like to see floyd establish a jab and work with it, but floyd (and i hate the term, but i gotta use it) p4p is up there with anyone in the history of the sport.
Right now, he is head and shoulders above anyone in this sport, and he will not be anything else untill he retires.
