The thing that makes Floyd my favorite fighter though is when he steps into the ring he's as real as anyone else. All his pseudo confidence, fast talking, in your face attitude is gone, and he's the most concentrated, dedicated and gifted man in the sport. His style is almost an antithesis of his attitude outside the ring, He is calculated and precise in his offense, and he is patient and eluding in his defense. Floyd shows real confidence in the ring that he never does outside of it. It always amazes me the transition because the guys I know who are like him personality wise usually don't truly get into a fight unless they have 12 guys fighting one guy with them. I don't think Hatton is going to get curbed stomped because he is too good for that, but Mayweather will beat him in what could be a really good fight.
Great post buddy. This is the main reason why people don't like Floyd. As a person he comes across as a complete arsehole, but as a fighter, he's superb.
