lol Dont break out in a political rave now. Think you need to just admit that your wrong about Hatton.

If your the only person that has that opinion.It Generally means you are wrong.

Wich you are.

I am sure theres alot of PBF fans that feel the same as i do, but they will never admit it because it will take away from his victory last night, so they will never admit that Hatton was a B level lower risk opponent. Instead PBF fans will want u to beleive that Hatton was the most dangerous opponent out there and not Cotto and Margarito or even Paul Williams (A.K.A Stretch)

Hatton certainly wasn't the best opponent out there. I am a Mayweather fan. But with his massive fanbase he was the biggest payday out there. Now that that's over and done with, leapfrog Margarito and Mosley, the next opponent is Miguel Cotto. Not Paul Williams, either. It's not just about who's the best, it's also about who can provide the most $$$. If I got punched in the face for a living I'd do the same thing. That's why he fought Oscar. Oscar wasn't on some massive win streak. A year before he fought a club level fighter in Ricardo Mayorga and before that he got his liver handed to him by B-Hop. And all of this was over 2 or 3 years (I don't remember offhand exactly how much time)? On paper, a fight against Oscar didn't make sense. But it made a lot of dough. Floyd's at the point where he isn't concerned with knocking down everybody out there. He wants to take on people with deep pockets.

I agree. This is the reason why i personally don't think Floyd can me mentioned with some of the all time greats. He certainly is as skilled as any fighter in the history of the sport. But he is not fighting the BEST fighters out there. He is fighting the ones that bring him the most $$$...and i cannot completely hate on him for that. But he truly needs to end his career fighting some much better opposition if he wants to be taken seriously as one of the very top all time greats.

Challenging the P4P #1 at a higher weight and losing does not mean he is hyped, simply means he is a champion but not as good a Chamion as Mayweather. It also means he has the courage to fight the very best which is commendable

There's no disgrace in that my friend, I bet any one of us would be proud of ourselves, wouldnt you

Do you honestly think that Mayweather was even a natural welterweight? Mayweather is just as much a Welterweight as Hatton is/was.

Can people quit using the "he moved up" excuse ???


IF Oscar had knocked Floyd out NONE of you would have said "Mayweather moved up in weight was the reason he lost" NO ONE

Thats complete BS, just because hatton lost it doesnt mean hes all of sudden a crap fighter! he was fighting the worlds number 1 ffs!! he was also fighting in a weight class he's not comfortable in!!

He's not the only one ,I agree 100% with his breakdown. I think lots of others on this board agree to ,but wont say it because they fear being ridiculed and attacked.

If Ricky is a crap fighter for losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. then by that rational Floyd Mayweather Jr is a crap fighter because that's all he has fought ........so says his fans



So all you guys bitching about the "Floyd haters" need to give Floyd's opponents a little credit....I'm not saying Ricky is a world beater at welterweight but he fought with a lot of heart and he did everything in his power to try and win and was just outclassed by the better guy, doesn't make him a crap fighter ......unless of course you want to consider Floyd a crap fighter, and even I admit he's too good for that.
