    PBF has worked out a winning formula and is sticking with it, u cannot blame him for that.

    He always play it safe, sometimes you have to show the world he can stand with anybody by not playing chicken. He always comes clean after the fight cause PBF has no guts sticking his chin.

    Yes it's his game plan you may call it, but Hatton lost because he's to darn occupied chasing PBF and eager to KTFHO he lost focus.

    Fuck off, Hatton lost the BOXING match because he isnt as good a BOXER as Floyd. He lost focus cos everytime he tried something he got punched in the face. Floyd would have beaten Hatton 99 times out of 100.
    Floyd stood toe to toe with plenty of guys when he was fighting in the smaller divisions, if u cared to watch those fights. Do u even know he fought in lower divisions? As he moved up in weight he was mainly fighting guys with more power so had to box more. There is a difference between being chicken and being smart. Floyd is smart in the ring.

    The sport is fucken boxing, not slugging or banging its boxing. The guys who win are generally the best boxers. There are guys who win fights through great defense, not everyone can be big punch KO artists. If u wanna see guys just throw hay makers go watch redneck tough man contests.

    I'm one of those who were never convinced he is great. Sugar Ray Leonard wont beat him at WW, even Duran will be frustrated with his antics and say "no mas", KO artist like Hearns will be chasing wind with PBF and lost.

    But i can't rate him higher than the three i've mention.

    Have your just said u think he would beat all those 3 guys but u cant rate him higher? Hmm interesting logic. Just cos a guy isnt exciting doesnt mean he isnt great.

    yeah, pbf could probably beat those greats but we'll never know, just like we'll never know if he can beat the best crop of fighters in his division coz he's never faced them.

    Not yet anyway. How come everyone acts as tho he is a 6ft Welterweight who has never fought below that weight. His problem is he probably moved up too quick, should have hung around at 135-140 for longer and just moved up now. He isnt a natural Welter anymore than Pac is cos naturally they are the same size. I never hear anyone say Pac wont be a great til he fights a genuine welter. Its just Pac stayed at the lower weights longer.

    In reality the only one of those 3 he should be mentioned with is Duran cos he was a similiar size, both Leonard and ?Hearns were much bigger guys.

    Spade you are insane if you think SRL and Hearns could not beat Floyd, first he would not fight them as they were too dangerous and secondly they would massacre him. Duran yes may be but Floyd would not beat a peak Tito, Shane or ODH.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Come on, he would destroy Tito peak or otherwise!

    Shane or ODH would be tough though

    I'm not a big fan of Floyd Mayweather's style, but he is the best right now. I just never really enjoyed the ultra defensive styles of the SRLs and Sweet Pea types, but I do appreciate and admit that they are all/were elite fighters.

    I wish the best for all boxers though and hope Mayweather gets the biggest money fight out there. He's the biggest draw out there right now so it's ultimately up to him.

    I think the winner of Pac/Cotto will be the best money move while still be a good choice for fight fans.

    Pac/Cotto. This story line needs to play out. This over all else and it isn't even close.
