Say what you want but IMO it is not wise to make a guy who is ranked #1 P4P in the world who has the skill of Floyd angry.....If Floyd feels he is fighting for pride not legacy it will elevate his game to a new level....

Tooo much speed....the combos.....he willl flurry Hatton and get out before Ricky knows what hit him.....

I don't think Floyd will knockout Hatton IMO he will do his best to embaress him by making him look out classed and overmatched.......

Hatton will have his moments but Floyd is going to make an example of Hatton....Sadly but true

I like Ricky alot, and believe he is one of the good guys of the sport, a great ambassador and down to earth being as approachable as you could ever expect a star to be..

But Floyd is in a whole other league, I get frustrated with the Majority of 20 post jonnies here that support Hatton and trash Floyd. Even the most Zealous Mayweather fan will credit Ricky at the end of the day for his determination and attitude.

People who will call Floyd all Hype, you fukwits know who you are is just plain dumb PERIOD!!!!!!! if he is all hype than he must have all the RESPECTED writers, sanctioning bodies and Ring Magazine Buffaloed then since they have him rated #1 PFP fighter in Boxing.... Believe me it has NOTHING to do with popularity either, Floyd is the real deal and all the detractors will turn coat on Ricky when he loses and tumbles off of being the failed latest and greatest Mayweather Slayer who got beat
When floyd takes on a REAL challenge, that's when I will give him respect. Faggot floyd will only fight when the other guy is not in a position to fight back and this is usually because they have chased him around the ring until they were tired. I would absolutely LOVE to see him use his skill set (that everyone knows he has) to actually fight someone. floyd could easily win the respect of many people if he would fight rather than be the "defensive master" that he is. Cowering in the ring against fighters you know you can beat is not impressive and never will be. Although I don't see Hatton winning, I do think it is a step in the right direction for floyd to lay claim to p4p.

I don't see half of the controversy for consideration of Joe Calzaghe as p4p and hopefully, Ring Magazine will take that under advisement if he can get past Kessler.

Bottom line, pick a challenge, not just a challenger and then fight, not run.


One of the dumbest posts ive ever read from somebody new.

youve probably been watching boxing since all the way back when Mayweather fought Delahoya and now you know it all, right?

Mayweather is a blown up lightweight.

Mayweather just beat Oscar Delahoya at JR. MIDDLEWEIGHT!!!!

Heres something for you to do..................

Watch ANY of Floyd Mayweathers fights outside of his last 3. His last 3 were great, but theyre more for people who appreciate technique and skill. Not so much for the bloodthirsty fight fans.

At 140 and down (even his 1st fight at 147 against Sharmba Mitchell) Floyd was very exciting to watch for even the most novice fan, and his fights usually ended up in a ko. I think Hattons gonna bring that back out of Mayweather in December because Rickys a lot smaller than Baldo or Delahoya (and we all know what was gonna happen to Zab before the riot broke out)

Theres probably a UFC fight or some other garbage on tv right now that can hold you over until youre done downloading those fights.
