Macklin: "When I Look Back I Can't Believe I Was Convinced Hatton Would Beat Floyd!"

Many people get emotional when it comes to Mayweather. I think they truly can't understand how someone so defensive could consistently outboxes his opponents. The one fight I was convinced Mayweather would win was against Pacquiao. I read the comments leading up to that fight and realized people were just too emotionally invested to look at the fight objectively. Some of those people still can't come to grips the Pacquiao actually lost.

People get emotional sometimes

Most brits thought the same in the build up to that fight, emotion got the better of us, this **** happens when it comes to our own fighters. ****, i remember having the same confident feeling that John Murray would go over to the states and shock Brandon Rios and look how that turned out......Rios basically retired him. I have a similar feeling when looking back on that.

Maybe being bias or just the hate they all have for Floyd.

Maybe the cocaine had something to do with it.

I think a lot of people get emotional when the name is Mayweather, I clearly remember the Hatton build up. I told everyone that would listen that Hatton would get stopped. They criticised me at that boxing website (Boxing banter) that i use to use at the time. I tried explaining but the logic wasn't there for most of the posters there because they only see Hate for one and love for the other. The come down was so bad after Hatton lost, he even told people to put money on him and put there mortgage on him. I have never let emotions, favouritism, nationality, a boxers annoying fans etc get to me when i look at a fight and how i thought it would go, I remember arguing with a Cotto fanatic before the first Margarito fight, i said the fight was 50-50 and that i could see Margarito winning. I was abused and derided for it, the poster was a puerto rican himself and ridicule me for me, after Margarito won he disappeared for months.
