Someone asked who wins Floyd/Pac:
Ricky Hatton MBE @realrickyhatton
@boz_no1 mayweather, can't stand the man but he was good.100% floyd I'm afraid.
Ricky should let his problem with Floyd go. Floyd trashed him alot before there fight but that was years ago. He's still holding a grudge.
It's funn for lil Rick to make such a comment about Floyd. Although Im not a fan of Floyd, Ricky acts the same way as him only thing is Ricky doesnt bring in the amount Floyd does lol.
how are they the same?
one is a humble drunkard drug addict. the other is a loathsome, arrogant, healthy teetotaler.
It's not a race issue at all. Do you know why Ted Debiase was such a good heel in his era of wrestling? Or how about the nature boy ric flair?
Because of their arrogance and their flashy style. They'd flash things that others didn't have, people, white, black, hispanic, hated them because of it. They never did promos against the fans or against their favorite athletes - they were just successful heels because of their arrogance and portrayal of an egotistical show off.
Kurt Angle got over like this.
JBL got over like this
Today, Alberto Del Rio gets over like this. 2 of those men are Caucasian.
I use professional wrestling as an analogy because their successful heels are a result of peoples reaction to certain personalities. No one likes a show off, no one likes a huge ego, and no one likes people that are in love with themselves. This is what Floyd is. He is the modern day Ted Debiase. In his short stint with the WWE (what, 3 weeks?) he got over as a heel and his gimmick was the flash his money around. Just like every popular WHITE heel before him. It had nothing to do with the color of his skin.
He'd catch the same hate if he were white - i'm black and I'm saying this. Everyone wants to make it a Race issue, it isn't. It's a personality issue. His personality sucks. The way he carries himself sucks. It's that simple.
Best post of the thread.
C'mon, apart from 50 cent and Ellerbe, who does like Floyd Mayweather, is own father doesn't like him.
I know if I was stuck on a desert island with Floyd, I would end up killing him with in a week.
And even his fans if they had to spend a lot of time with him would end up wanting to take a bat to his face.
His own father doesnt even like him....
lol......
Every other word on philboxing is monkey.
Some Mayweather fans are racist
Some Pacquiao fans are racist
Mayweather is a racist.
Pacquiao is not a racist though
My dislike of Mayeather has nothing to do with his "race, nationality, religion or sexual orientation.
If you can find one example of anyone calling him monkey Mayweather, I will apologise. But I just don't ever see any racism towards Floyd. I can't speak for white Americans, but here in Britain, I don't. If you ask 90% of British young white boxers who there favourite boxer is they say Floyd.

how is this such a big thread? hatton doesnt like floyd as a person, hes not exactly the only one. yet he respects his ability as a fighter, again hes not the only one. no contradictions, no mysteries, simple..
You eyes aren't open then. That's a very true statement that he made.

Seriously Hatton was more than likely being slightly tongue-in-cheek with the comment and you have butthurt Floyd fans talking about racism!!
The majority of his fanbase are complete and utter faaggots.
Definitely tounge-in-cheek.
You can picture exactly how he said it.
Who cares if he doesn't like Mayweather anyway? I can't really blame him.
Ive never once seen or heard anyone call him that. This is just pure and utter lies.

I think the issue comes in that it is a grudge.. I mean if you ask me who do I think would win outta Floyd or Pac, and keep in mind a fan asked him this.... And his response was, "I CANT STAND THE GUY"
Seriously, why would that be his response??? That ass whoopin he received hurt him badly....
No one asked him about how he felt about Floyd.... Its like Malignaggi.... If someone asked Malignaggi who would win outta floyd vs pac, and Malignanggi went on a rant about steroids, that would be totally off subject....
You don't get it, it's a figure of speech but with humour.

Has nothing to do with a grudge... I don't like him either and I don't hold any grudges.
Nothing wrong with what Hatton said, He actually is very gracious and truthful, He didn't allow the fact that he never liked Mayweather get in the way of picking him to beat both pac and Cotto, You can only respect his opinion without the hate.. I see so many boxers, posters and media who basically pick against Mayweather base on hate.
Not a grudge at all, he simply does not like Floyd as a person but heavily respects his skills. Don't see anything wrong with that.

Ibut when you hear people call him "monkey mayweather", it's clear there's an agenda from that person.

Floyd got ricky his highest payday in his career. Ricky should be more appreciative. After all, it was ricky who said there was more action in his fight with Castillo than in floyds whole career. Next time, keep your hole shut and look out for the fast moving ringposts.
You can say what you want about Hatton, but you cant say Floyd got him his biggest paycheck. Hatton got himself his biggest cheque. He was a huge star. 60,000 or some crazy number travelled to Vegas from Britain just to be in the same city as him when he fought.
only reason he said floyd is because he doesn't remember the Pac fight. He was knocked out cold in under 6 minutes and probably has permanent brain damage.
And lets not forget, Hatton was winning quite a few rounds against floyd whereas he didn't win a single second against Pac.
Everyone wants to compare the Marquez fights but no one wants to compare the Hatton fights lmao
