Cintron against Margarito I.......................JK
Andrade when he fought Kessler? He wasn't all messed up but he took alot of shots from a pretty decent puncher all night. You could hit Andrade with a refrigerator and the guy is still going to fight![]()
Lets break down my post shall we?
1.) Hatton got his ass beat. This is a factual statement.
2.) He was consistantly rabbit punching Mayweather throughout the majority of the fight, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it's on film and there's no way to argue with it.
3.) He was attempting to make love to Mayweather. This is the only somewhat debatable point that I made, but let me tell you, after the first couple rounds I was POSITIVE that Hatton wanted to be Mayweather's girlfriend. It's hilarious the way he threw his body into him in a " Oh Floyd, hold me " manner.
So, basically what you're working with is board status ( meaningless, because it has nothing to do with the discussion ), and your personal bias. I don't really have any bias in this, because it's a known fact that I don't like Mayweather. I should also note that I bought the fought and started watching it wanting Hatton to not only win, but knock Mayweather the fuck out and hopefully impair his ability to speak, so you can't say that I'm " just some hater ". To the contrary, I'm someone that desperately wanted Hatton to win before the fight started, and was so disgusted by how he performed that I stopped caring altogether.
Also, I want everyone here to know that I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but calling that performance brave is a statement I can't help but argue with.

Damn this new guy is on point tonight.... Welcome![]()
Michael Watson vs Chris Eubank 2.
While I agree that it was wrong for Cortez to allow Hatton's reputation to influence the way he reffed the fight, it is Hatton's fault that he has such a reputation.
Cortez is just a fucking terrible ref. I was equally unimpressed with the way he reffed Calzaghe - Hopkins as I was with the way he reffed PBF - Hatton.
I agree with what you say about the reffing though, it didn't matter who the ref was, PBF was going to win, unfortunately.
I can't believe all the bickering and nobody has talked about these fights!!!
Rocky vs Apollo I - his face looked like hamburger helper and he kept on fighting.
Apollo vs Drago- the guy fought to the death and wouldn't let his corner stop it. That takes guts.

I'm going to give credit to both fighters, and I'm pretty sure everyone can agree on this one: Frazier-Ali 3. Both fighters took many a shot that would put 99% of history's heavyweights on their ass, and as far as bravery and effort goes, you have to give props to them both for putting together a legendary battle.
