Re: Do YOU still want to see Hatton v Floyd??
Floyd's fights I always wanted to see: vs Castillo (did twice)
vs Corley (did)
vs Judah (did)
vs Corrales (did)
vs Gatti (did)
etc..etc... (I mean I can still going on and on)
what really WAS the handicap in Floyd's fan appeal is what he used to do OUTSIDE the ring and all of his bashing, mouthing and trash-talking, plus his cockiness and arrogance. Didn't Ali had all of this obscure "attributes" too? Leonard also portrayed great deal of the same; Floyd is upgrading his PPV sales lately and is maturing into a household name not just for the local media but worldwide.
I'm sure the Golden Boy is strongly attracted to a mega showdown with PBF. This fight is to generate more revenue and meaning to even casual fightgoers as well as hardcore diehard boxing fans around.
Hatton is taylor made for the European "wave" and was wisely managed to endure in that soil not beyond those bundaries. I can see clear factors working against the Ricster if ever to fight in Vegas or The Garden. How you folks envision Steve Smoger or Cortéz, to name few of them, if they ever set to put the order in a Hatton fight at the MGM in Sin City? What kind of rush Hatton's gonna get to increase his stamina drive if ever to fight, let say Margarito, Coralles or Castillo, inside of a hostile pro-mexican crowd in Nevada or portorrican holligans in the Garden against Cotto?
In my modest opinion, would be wise for Hatton going back to Warren's nest and continue doing his domestic epical wrestlings loved by his followers.
Small is the number of them that see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
