Honestly, would that change your opinion of him? I ask this because Ive heard alot of media guys say that they picked Floyd to win pretty easy once this fight got made but the closer it gets to the 8th, the closer they think the fight will be. Pretty much all of them are saying this and now they think Hatton will give him hell and wouldnt be shocked if Hatton won.
Alot of fans on here feel the same way. Then you hear alot of fans saying that Floyd is trying to make excuses now and there should be no excuse after this fight. If all this is the case then I think that Floyd should be given major credit by the fans & media if he wins this fight comfortably. I have a feeling that these same fans & media will be the one's to take credit away from him if that happeneds and they will say that Hatton was never a real threat anyway so this fight proves nothing.
I also agree with this article about the size of these guys. Floyd should be fighting at 135-140. Thats why Ive always said that he should get more credit for what he's doing and I wish he was at those lower weights where he would be dominant and super exciting. Him vs Diaz, JMM, & Pac would be super fights where Floyd would go toe to toe and look special. Then no one would be ripping this cat and everyone would be calling him an all time great.

so now when Floyd says someone is inferior, that means you should take credit from it but every other fighter says it and you dont take it seriously? Floyd says that about everyone. He would say that about Cotto, Margarito, and Williams but would you say that those wins dont mean anything either?
Why, beating up inferior fighters that "are not even supposed to be in the ring with you" makes you an all time great?
yes sir, he just sais that to talk shit but he knows hatton is going to be a challenge.
Not really I already know he is really good, and I EXPECT him to win impressively if anything, if he didn't win impressively its what would make me change my mind of Ricky.
Even if Floyd gets the UD he will still have haters for everything he does outside of the ring and for knocking hatton out.
Once the fight begins... all the pre fight nonsense..is a Thing of the past..
No disrespect for the winner of this fight...
Everybody knows how I feel about Floyd..:puke:
But he is still going to win this fight.. 9-3.. wide UD.. possible late Stoppage..
Not liking him.. doesn't mean I am an idiot...
