People liked hatton at one time, even baldomir when floyd was able to convince us he had a chance. When your boxing career is over the people who's approval you damn near killed yourself to get won't give a crap about you. I like most fighters the same for the most part, but let one of thier broke asses come to my door 15, 20 years from now saying " hey remember when i wanted to fight fighter "A" but you went online and convinced me to fight fighter "B" instead ?? Well i did and won just like you liked but now i need this surgury and i'm low on funds and you all said you loved me and SLAM !!!!!!! goes my door. Same with us all.
And the guy is smart. Remember Gerald McClellan and what happened to him with his bout after Benn? Almost no one gave a crap. He's struggling to pay his bills and the treatment he needs for his condition. Where are the fans now that says he's such a hard guy for fighting Benn one of the best in the game? Exactly no where to be found.

Most of the general public and many other sports fans didn't know who Floyd was until he reinvented himself to be the bad guy. PPV sales for his bout with DLH was at 2.4 million the highest ever. Even his sales with Hatton does better than Pacmans. Not bad for being a boring fighter yeah?

Still the best in the game. He knows how to work it just like how Ali did it.
