DLH fought Bernard and lost ... in my opinion that does nothing to tarnish Oscar's reputation or legacy. He was pushing the envelope big-time and found his limits against a naturally bigger boxer whose skills were very similar (skills, not style ...).
However, I don't think Floyd is in the same position. He has not cemented his legacy in the way that DLH has, as everybody but Floyd seems to know. If he goes against Winky and loses (as he should) it will count against him and his legacy in a way that may not really be fair.
He should clean up against the best at 147 and below as well as he could - Hatton for certain he should fight, I think.
Floyd has fought the great majority of his fights at 130-132 or so and only the last two above 140. Winky has fought at 154 or above give an ounce or 8 for the last 7 years.
Being great - even g.o.a.t. - doesn't mean you can do absolutely anything and everything. Floyd needs to take any and every challenge within weight classes that are at least within his reasonable reach. Then when there is no doubt as to greatness, then step out and push the envolope and fight folks you shouldn't be expected to beat - and see if you can.
Just my thoughts - I think we're a bit hard on Floyd but am not a 'lover' - I think he needs to prove himself. After Baldomir (should he win, and I expect he will) then Hatton. Margarito. Cotto. Anyone. Pick up an L against DLH on the way. But save Winky and the like as end-of-career experiments.
When people say hatton wil lose on cuts, that tells me that they know very little about ricky hatton. The reason he had trouble with cuts in the past was because some vaseline had gotten inside a cut, and the cut was stitched back up with the vaseline stil inside it. The vaseline hardened and dug into the inside of his skin causing it to bleed and bleed excessivley wen he's been hit there. So unless mayweather headbutts his way to a cuts victory, then i cart see that been the reason for hatton losing. The reason hatton will lose is pretty much what u highlighted before hand. Pretty much everything you said up until the cuts.Quote:
