CC to JT - agree completely with everything you've said. I can't believe the about-face people are pulling on this forum discrediting this opponent after hyping him as extremely dangerous, huge, and the biggest challenge in Floyd's recent career. I wasn't one of those that thought this would be a tough match, but I can still appreciate it when a guy comes in and (on my card) wins all 12 rounds in a lineal championship fight.

The biggest joke is the idea (floated by at least 10 different people on various threads here) that this perfect shutout somehow is evidence that Ricky Hatton can beat Floyd. This is especially ironic considering these same posters' crying when people jumped on Hatton's gift victory over Collazo, where he won 6 rounds at best (plus a kd; he won 5 rds on my card), saying that Hatton's not a natural WW and that the fight meant nothing. Floyd is naturally smaller than Hatton, fought a much bigger guy than Collazo in Baldomir, and won every single round, as opposed to less than half. And the idea is just ridiculous that after beating PROVEN fighters like Castillo (who will soon KO Hatton) and Corralles, it's a fight against the largely UNPROVEN Hatton (riding on one victory against an old, injured (shoulder surgery immediately after the fight), inactive Kostya Tszyu) that would cement Floyd's legacy.

JT, you nailed it on there being no opponent that could truly shut the haters up. Ok, maybe if Little Floyd dropped back down to 130 pounds, and then got in the ring with Klitchko and knocked him out in the first round . . . half the haters would shut up (Gamo, I'm not talking about you--but there are plenty of people talking straight nonsense on the RBR thread).
