It's all revisionist history. Before the Hatton fight, people said "ohh Floyd will never fight an elite pressure fighter like Hatton, he knows how much trouble he had against JLC and Hatton is a better pressure fighter than him, he won't be able to run from Hatton, Hatton's body work will wear Floyd down, ect."
Then Floyd wins: "Oh well Hatton sucked anyway. Actually it was the refs fault because he didn't let Ricky fight. Oh wait no it was because they fought at 147. If fat alcoholic Ricky was made to dehydrate himself to cut 7 more pounds, he would have performed better for some reason."
It's just silliness. Floyd is an asshole but give him his due, he is a brilliant boxer.
