I don't really get all this legacy bashing on either side.

It's a FACT that BOTH Mayweather and Hatton have beaten some of the best guys in the world.

They both have impressive records. NOBODY has a better record than Floyd that's why he's NUMBER 1 and NO LIGHT WELTERWEIGHT has a better record than Ricky Hatton that's why he's regarded as the number 1 at 140 lbs.

This is a big win for either fighter and a legitimate opponent for either.

Those criticising Floyd for fighting Baldimor when he was undisputed champ who else was he supposed to fight? Mosely wasn't at 147 then, Oscar wasn't ready, Cotto hasn't reached his potential yet and Margarito was unproven, and in retrospect not the monstrous challenge people thought he was anyway.

Those criticising Ricky who else could he have fought? Cotto that's it. He's beaten the best out there in Kosta Tszyu and now he's going after Floyd.

Ricky is far and away the most ambitious British boxer since Lennox Lewis so why knock him?

Cmon people give both of them their props
