David Lemieux = Future MW Champ and P4P King
Hatton's career was pretty much over by the time he stepped up to fight Floyd.
He got himself a big fat payday to waste on coke and cheeseburgers.
Hatton was never going to beat Floyd. Ever.
Floyd is a great great fighter and has dominated the sport for some time now. It's all business with Floyd, I don't think he really is that bothered about a career defining challenge, and keeping that 0 is very important to him.
He has done it his way, and it's good to see a fighter calling the shots and not ending up as a promoters piece of meat. He has carefully picked his opponents, especially regarding the timing of when he fights them, but his resume contains a who's who of the best fighters of his generation.
Real fight fans want to see how a boxer reacts to adversity, how they can gut it out when the going gets tough ...... Floyd hasn't really had to do that, but he ever does, I think people's perception of him will change massively.
Ray Robinsons legacy didn't suffer when he overreached himself at light heavy. Ali's legacy didn't suffer when he carried on for too long. It would be good to see Floyd take on that really really big challenge (like fighting Golovkin) that WIN OR LOSE will add further lustre to his legend!
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
