If Floyd beats Hatton, will he get more respect in this forum?

"This forum"? more like the Boxing World.

I doubt it unless he gives him the Gatti treatment then they will say Hatton was nothing more than another Gatti

Yup.lol. Theres always somthing. Then if he beat Cotto people would say Cotto was overated, thats just the way the boxing fan base operates. Or if he beats Margarito it will be "Well Marg lost to Williams and was overrated and slow anyway! Floyd needs to fight Williams!" Or "Williams isn't all that good, barely beat Marg, is just tall and inexperienced" "Hatton was one dimensional and really 140" "Cotto was overrated" "DLH was too old" "Pavlik was too slow" "Wlad was too chinny" heck Floyd could fight King Kong and it would be "Kong was just an overrated ape and tv media creation! He needs to fight David Haye!"

yeah okay. that's just IGNORANT. I've been here for years and one things I've noticed is theres always somthing with every fight. Spin doctors...lol. If they wouldn't say Cotto was overated there would be another excuse as to why it doesn't mean anything.

When your the best at what you do you will always have haters. or it was at 147 Mayweather wasn't born at 160lbs himself. He has already been pushing it at 140, 147 and definitely 150. Hatton is skilled, in his prime, relentless, difficult, linear 140lb champ, young, walks around well above 160lbs comes into the fights well above 140lbs.

Floyd is widely regarded as thew best fighter in the sport, so how could you ask for "more respect?" Exactly. Its only a few that ridicule Floyd so stop acting like its the majority of posters.

When your the best at what you do you will always have haters. Perfect response. This topic should have been closed after this. There will ALWAYS be haters. Imagine these forums if existed during Ali's days? Haters glorified.

or it was at 147 Yup.lol. Theres always somthing. Then if he beat Cotto people would say Cotto was overated, thats just the way the boxing fan base operates.

Nope, there will be an excuse. People will say Hatton was overated and too one dimensional. lol or it was at 147

Nope, there will be an excuse. People will say Hatton was overated and too one dimensional. lol

It won't give Mayweather anymore credit. Beating Cotto would give him more credit. As far as I'm concerned, Hatton will always be a junior welterweight to me and even though I like the guy, there are many true welterweights who were/are more deserving of a fight with Mayweather because they paid their dues in that division.

I think that beating Hatton, a guy in his prime, although not in his ideal weightclass, would be amazing and people would have to stop saying " oh he's always dodging this and that" althought the fact that he doesn't want to fight Cotto after he beating Mosley is a real bitch move. But let's see how it goes I guess. All the Floyd hate is really getting annoying and if he beats hatton he should get more respect. IMO. :puppy_dog Ideal weightclass are you for real?. Hatton is going to be the slightly bigger man come fight time. Mayweather is like the only true "top ten welterweight" (besides Mosley) in a division that's full of middleweights posing as welterweights.

What if Hatton wins i dare say he will never get the respect of Floyd's rent boys on Boxingscene

Depends on how he beats him. If he does it decisively, then yeah. If he starts that love tapping and running, then he will get boo'd even in triumph.

:ugh: Hatton is a junior welterweight. And Mayweather is a puffed up light weight..:rolleyes:

Floyd is widely regarded as thew best fighter in the sport, so how could you ask for "more respect?"

Depends on how Floyd beats Hatton I guess. If he knocks Hatton out, then he'll get tons more respect I think. But it's also true that the haters will always find ways to dicredit a fighter they hate.

...................... If u look at the fights this year all boxers came to box and looked good...even if that boxer lost....Mayweather is the last big fight of the year so he's like the closing act of a show....he has to beat hatton impressively in my opinion.... Im a huge mayweather fan....but at times we look at boxers like we look at ourselves like they can do no wrong.... Mayweather is starting to bother me ....does he fight non exciting because he just gauges his competition and than says this guy cant beat me so ill just do enough to win or has he lost his taste for combat... this of course dosent mean that he has to be a brawler ... thats not boxing... but i enjoyed mayweathers style more when he would do what he does but put on a good show.... like when he fought corrales... or the time bomb ndou.... Im a huge fan mayweather and i have always supported u now its time to clean out that division and secure ur legacy ...noone is gonna remember that u beat gatti or baldomir ... if u dont wanna fight anymore thats fine... thats ur choice and u have worked hard in ur carrer to merit not wanting to fight anymore...but if u are gonna fight fight up to the caliber of ur talent and destroy ur opponents... because the way uve been fighting can actually work against u in one of ur fights and ull find urself on the losing end of the score cards.......

Most ppl know Floyd is going to beat Hatton,so the opinions of ppl's wont change I dont think.

When your the best at what you do you will always have haters. indeed.....
