Re: Mayweather v Hatton will be the biggest AND best fight of 2007!
What point ??
My point was that the judges could not avail of Slow motion Compu box stats or punch counts.
No they didn't but who the hell cares if they did or not ?? your basing your arguement on how close the judges scored the fight to support your arguement so i suppose Whitaker looked past it against Chavez just because the judges had it a draw and it was close in there eyes ??
Im not asking you to give him special treatment but i don't really understand what your saying you have brought up about how close the judges scored the fight to support your arguement that Mayweather is past it when thats total crap because we have the stats and we have slow mo and we have better view of the fight and he made Oscar only landed 21 percent of his punches forgetting what judges scored it we know ourselves so who really cares about the judges ??
Who really cares what the judges think?
Well, I'd say Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De la Hopya cared. I certainly cared seeing as they had the fate and legacies of two great fighters in their hands.
[b]Why does the judges opinion matter ?? they get it wrong most of the time, the reason why i brought up Sosa fight is because you brought up the crowd so i pointed out the crowd thought it was much closer fight even though clearly on the tele Mayweather won easily.[/b]
I brought the judges into it....
Once again, the judges opinion matters because they are the men elected by the relevant sanctioning bodies to analyse and ajudicate the fight. Without the judges it wouldn't be boxing.
aGAIN, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TELEVISION AND A LIVE FIGHT.
You have lost me completey i have never said moving up in weightclass scores you points i was saying that when you move way above your natural weight you won't be as effective that was my whole point.
You say that of course Mayweather doesn't look as good because it's his first time to figjht at a new weight. Floyd is a professional, it is his duty once he signs the contract to look his best at whatever weight he agrees upon. If he isn't as good up there why would he be there? Because that was as good as Floyd could do that night.
I think i made plenty of good points all you keep saying is about the judges and how close they scored the fight to support your arguement that Mayweather is past his best when thats not true at all.
At this stage we're not even debating about Floyd being past his best as i said you offered no counterpoints u merely tried to discredit mine.
I already stated, that Mayweather looked slower and less effective than before. I brought in the judges because Floyd really needed the last four rounds to win the fight. Had they scored the championship rounds differently, Floyd would not be undefeated.
Outboxing Oscar De La Hoya at 154 is sheer brillance standing in one spot and making your opponent miss with 8 punches in a row when your way above your natural weight is sheer brillance.
Really?
Granted it was good to beat Oscar he's a legend, but that Legend status is based on Foundations built at 147 in the 90's.
So was it really?
Re: Mayweather v Hatton will be the biggest AND best fight of 2007!
Biggest fight of the year? It depends whose fans you ask. Best fight of the year? Not a chance. Styles make fights, and the PBF-Hatton fight has a pretty good chance of turning into a "dancing-posing-clinching-mauling" snoozefest. I hope I'm mistaken. Boxing I'm sure has gained a lot of new fans with the fantastic fights that 2007 has had. I'd like that number to increase even more. We'll see, I guess.
