VS Baldomir, his defense was good, he punched every now and then, enough to win the rounds....I just expect more...I don't know maybe a combination here and there....I understand you don't want to stand and trade with him but throwing a combination and feinting and so on it's WORK.....running is running, rolling with punches is difficult but it's not as impressive as bobbing and weaving (though he does that very well)....that fight just missed a little something extra....Floyd didn't need to get tagged or anything but come on watching the last half was like water torture
Hatton can't beat Mayweather, and Steward has it in for PBF.
I think Hatton and Mayweather are definately the two best fighters in the business, both have always been very special talents, and the fight will be extremely close.
I'm putting my money on Hatton.
Not real money, Im sure.Quote:

Forgot Hopkins, but him as well. Collazo was a good fighter, but if Hatton hadn't gotten lucky with an early knockdown I think he loses are at most has a draw against Collazo who, though, is an fighter has nowhere near the speed, skill, and probably even power Mayweather has... I think Mayweather might be able to hurt Hatton, and he has far too much speed for Hatton to close the gap.
I've asked this question to other's without success, so i will ask your good-self, why does Manny have it in for Floyd ? ???Quote:

He also doesn’t like the fact that PBF doesn't take chances like going for knockouts in late rounds etc..... If he were Floyd’s trainer he would be on PBF jock saying "He's the greatest". He is just a classic example of an American player hater...... The sad thing he trains Jermain Taylor and he is less aggressive than Floyd.... Manny Steward needs to retire..... Who cares what he says His two best fighters Taylor and Klitschko don't even fight on PPV and they have belts..... I mean come on the Mike Tyson world tour is on PPV
wright is much different fighter wright is defensive fighter hatton is offensive fighter its not luck he knocked him down done enough to get a decision no luck involved and remember hattons first time at that weight so give him a break let him grow into the weight if he returns to that weightQuote:

The biggest thing Steward can't get over is that Mayweather doesn't throw huge combinations and just pot shots. IMO Roy was most successfull at hit and don't get hit when he would pot shot instead of trying to take his opponent out. Steward just by how he trains his fighters has never shown a great appreciation for defensive fighters, and doesn't seem to acknowledge it. Also whenever a fighter gets compared to Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Duran. He immediately seems to downplay the fighter I remember when Roy was fighting Richard Hall I believe that Steward was asked if Roy would beat the great four, and He started to be more negative towards Jones. I think he likes Floyd even less because at least Roy had power, but I don't feel Floyd needs power because he so much a smarter fighter. I think Steward's argument is solely on the fact Mayweather doesn't throw combinations as I said above, but Floyd does throw combinations like against Corley or Burton, but in those fights he got hit more so being a smart fighter he probably decided its not worth shorting his career to look impressive when he can when every round of every fight, by fighting smart. Unfortunately past generations who are used to two fighters pounding it out can't appreciate that.Quote:
