Yeah Dan,sorry poor wording by me,my point was Floyd was getting hammered by those fans and he could not handle it.Imagine if the fight had been in England!?

We're all intolerent of certain things, who on here would tolerate somebody insulting their mother or wife or sister? It's a free country and Floyd can act how he wants, but Hatton is also free to respond in kind. If that means saying, "this guy is a dick" so be it. Personally, I think deep down, Floyd is not a bad guy, but I do find his behavior to be childish and disrespectful. Maybe I'm too gentlemanly for boxing, but I don't like all this thuggery. Of course if you take one listen to Roger or Floyd Sr. it's not hard to see why he is that way.That being said, I think it's mostly an act. Floyd acts like this for two reasons; 1) the pyschological factor, for himself and his opponent, 2) to hype the fight and sell tickets. He's even admitted this. Remember before the Gatti fight he was completely disrespecting Arturo but after the fight he gave him a hug and when asked about his behavior, he said "man that was just to sell tickets." So Hatton probably shouldn't take it personally, although that's easier said than done.
CC,a very good post. I agree with most of it,but I think there is a side of Mayweather that is a bit of an ass. I think sometimes it's to sell tickets,but,for example,when he was with his friends and talking about Floyd money making Mayweather or something or whe he throws $$$ in the air/at the camera,I think he has that it in him. Regardless,I want Ricky to beat him up! Nothing but a humbling experience for Floyd! Come On RICKYY!!!
