He is trying desperately to be the next Oscar...but it aint happening. He just doesn't have Oscar's wide appeal. While Ricky's resume is certainly not stellar...Floyd should not be immune to criticism...Floyd has been fighting stiffs and is trying to fool us it to believing he is an all time great.
Good post
Absolutely hysterical . If Floyd has been fighting stiffs, Hatton has been fighting exumed corpses. At least Mayweather didn't need 40 tune up fights spoonfed to him before he had his first real fight (in his own backyard). And no one has to 'make Hatton seem beneath Floyd.' HATTON IS BENEATH FLOYD

p.s.--It's funny you mention Gatti, Judah and Baldomir as not being worthy of any sort of respect, considering two of those three would undoubtedly beat the sh!t out of little Ricky
