Floyd is "willing to die December 8th"

He is promising fireworks just for the sales. In fact, the more I think about this fight, the more I feel like it is going to be a huge stinker. The only person who is going to be suffering more than the fans is Hatton for having to eat punches while chasing Floyd around for 36 minutes.

Well then Hatton better learn how to close the ring down so Floyd can't go anywhere. But my feeling is Mayweather is going to unleash a storm on Hatton like we haven't seen in a while. Floyd seems to have alot of disdain for Ricky, and it's not just because they have a fight to sell. He's been trash talking Ricky regularly and visciously since Rick beat Kostya; worse than he's ever talked about an opponent. As much of a bum Floyd says Hatton is I would think he's going to beat the brakes off Ricky just cause' he thinks he's a fake. As much as I want Ricky to win, won't happen. Floyd will beat him severely and this fight will be over by 8 rounds, maybe 10 if Floyd wants to torture him. Hatton better get some steel plates put in his head cause' he'll need them. All this coming from a huge Hatton fan, but I see this being so one sided as to almost be criminal. JMO, not trying to hate on Ricky. Hope I'm wrong

Oh hold on

Add this to your list.

Carlos Hernandez
Angel Manfredy
Genaro Hernandez
Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo
Victoriano Sosa
Jesus Chavez
Oscar De La Hoya
Carlos Manuel Baldomir
Zab Judah
Sharmba Mitchell
Arturo Gatti
DeMarcus Corley
Phillip N'dou

Then i think your find a good list of opposition and has also fought one of the best opposition of his era and also add that he has won 5 World Titles in 5 different Weight Divisions.

Well who else was Floyd supposed to fight

The only fight I hold against Floyd is against 1/2 dead Gatti for some obscure belt I think he won from Daamgaard

Gatti though got his ass beat badly and Floyd didn't even break a sweat. Other than that, how are you going to complain about Floyd's opponents

Don't worry, Mosley, Cotto, Cintron etc. will have their shots at beating Floyd too, with them getting beat also, Shane being the only guy who really has a chance, maybe Cotto.

If any of those fighters had beat floyd, there wouldn't be any claims of them being out of thier prime or any of the other dozens of reasons why floyd wins other than he is just simply the best all around boxer these days.

OK, trinidad has a good resume and winky sh*t theres loads of fighters who have fought genuine contenders at their own weights rather than run from people like Tszyu up to a weight to fight someone Tszyu had just murdered

Mayweather never ducked Tszyu where did you hear that from ?? did you know Tszyu would have got his shot vs Mayweather had he beat Hatton ?? so i don't know where you heard that from.

Trinidad has been retired since 2005 and is only coming out of retirement for the limelight i don't really consider Tito to be a part of this era right now in 2007 i hope you understand what i mean by this comment and as i said name a boxer who has better resume now who is currently fighting not a fighter who has been retired since 2005 and is only coming out of retirement for limelight because Cotto is getting the attention now and he isn't really and truthfully the last time Tito really had big win was back in 2000 against Vargas

And as for Wright his resume is not as good as Mayweather's thats why he is not P4P number 1.

But you see what i mean ?? you slate Mayweather's record but you have to bring up legend like Tito who is not really in this era at the moment to find someone with better record than Mayweather and i don't think there is that much difference between Tito and Mayweather infact if Mayweather beats Hatton he would be rated higher than Tito imo i think your being bit too hard on Mayweather he has fought quality opposition.

Ownedbypacstraightleft - when are you going to start thinking for yourself? All you seem to do is regurgitate statistics in order to support your arguments. Boxing should be a passion for fighters and fans alike, yet your posts are often sadly lacking in this quality. Your attempts to show that you are always right and to belittle other posters smack of arrogance. And before you accuse me of being a blinkered Hatton fan, let me say that the blinkers are well and truly off with this Hatton supporter. I'll be amazed if Hatton wins, but I also think you should get out more. This is my first post - can you give me a cc?
