I think you lot have been fooled by mayweather yesterday,

Please Replay the first four or five rounds, of that fight view clearly when de la hoya charges forward with all guns blazing, mayweather is panicking, his defence is good, but he is panicking he is stepping backward straight into the ropes, as a boxer you never do that you let yourself open to punishment.

De la Hoya lasted to round 12 and some people feel he won the fight, because he took Mayweather out of his comfort zone. Now before we slag off Hatton, lets remind ourself the charging forward style is Hattons Style, i dont think Mayweather would be comfortable with hatton if hatton produced a performance similar to against Kostya Tyzyu.

One thing is absolutely certain, Mayweather DID NOT Damage De La Hoya, he did not win by a Massive Margin, he did not give de la hoya a boxing lesson, it was a fairly even contest, i respect the winner, but i also respect De La Hoya, and No this does not make Mayweather the best ever.

To be the best you have to show a variance in style and deal with different types of fights, ie slugfests, brawls, and show heart, Mayweather won that fight on a very tight string, and he showed very little heart just skills. That does not give u greatness in boxing maybe in Golf, maybe in Soccer but not boxing.
