Didn't he still win and wasn't he still the Undisputed World Champion when he retired? Please refresh my memory?:thinking: Also didn't he defeat everyone he faced? Man I must be getting the wrong dude.:confused:
So Oliver Mc Call didnt beat him in 1994 to take his WBC title. Maybe the3 world dreamed that...
So why aren't Americans willing to fight anywhere else?? They must be protected!!!
:rolleyes: your a douche!
Well said!! And why is De Lay hoya looking to fill 80.000 seats in wembley next year??
I was comparing how both of their era of fighters were on the decline. Don't make it into something else which you're obviously trying to do. Go back and read where I started talking about Marciano and read that person's quote that I quoted off of.
Yeah but my point is Marciano was there at the start, fought prime fighters, foguht fighters past there prime every fighter fights those fights!! But Marciano retired unbeaten. Lewis was good in a bad era but i regard Marciano as a great in his complete era not just the end. Im not looking to start anything and i accept your opinion. At the end of the day we are all on this site for the same reason, the love of boxing.
This has been the same issue when mentioning Marciano also.
How canyou compair Marcainos 8 yr unbeaten record to Lewis? Explain please, Lewis ruled a divison in decline? Marciano was the divison for 8 years!! Sharpen up boy...
49 Straight wins with 43 Knock outs. The only fighter ever to ritire undefeated and stay retired! 185lbs abd the shortest reach in the history of the Heavy weight division. Rocky is a great and an example to all.
...and Hatton's never faced anything close to Mayweather.
...Mayweather has faced pieces of shit similar to Hatton.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BOXING??? EXPLAIN TO ME HOW A 2 WEIGHT UNBEATEN WORLD CHAMPION IS A PIECE OF SHIT YOU RETARD!!!
He fought past their prime fighters that were great in their times. I mean shit,Archie Moore? Joe Louis? Those are the most recognizable names on his resume.Also Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles were also old.
Out of Lewis last 4 fights he had 1 defeat. Im sorry but he shouldnt even be mentioned in this thread let alone be mentioned with Marciano..ha ha its laughable!
Mayweather will probably potshot and keep his distance because that's what he does best, but Mayweather has stood in front of better fighters than Hatton and beaten them at their own game. Hatton is just not on Mayweather's level...
Of the thread subject... can u tell me HOW and WHY Joe Calzghe is a JOKE??
Winning a fight by a cut after getting his ass handed to him and then not agreeing to a rematch to settle whether or not he would have lasted 12 rounds, sorry I respect Lewis but not even close.
Yes I also agree, although Lewis was a world champion i still couldnt mention him in the same breath as Marciano. The PRIME Lewis was in an Era were the heavy weight divison was in decline.
Look at his resume, his career, and the fact that he refuses to leave the safety of home. British boxing is a joke...
HA HA HA Catch your self on you fucking clown... 6 world champions!!!!! You are just another MAYWEATER MUPPET!!!
And also how can u say he refuses to live his on home?? He went on live tv and said he is willing to fight ANYWHERE for the big fights!! Wake up you loser!!
*slaps back back of your head*
we as americans have no business callin other people fat. but......
as pale as those British fans are, how are you supposed to find your way to the press conference with all that blinding whiteness?
Must be hard to take when even you guys on here dont believe it. Mayweather simply aint liked in this fight by the way he handled himself. Hatton has been the model professonal throughout and people like that. Imagine getting boo'ed in ya home town..shit thats lower than low..ha ha ha As for calling British fans Fat?? ha ha ha ha ha Hard to swallow that a man from a small place like Manchester has a bigger following than Mayweather.
He's faced guys similar to Ricky Hatton, while Hatton's never faced anyone or anything close to Mayweather.
Still doesnt explain how a 2weight unbeaten world champion is a piece of shit?? You guys are such wankers, you know nothing about boxing its so clear!
What did Mayweather do agaisnt De La Hoya??? He was average!! De La Hoya was spent after the 6th and clearly dominated the fight till then, in fact if he had a lil more gas in the tank in the last two he would of won it!! I cant wait till this fight is over to you see a broken Mayweather. Hatton is a different machine since Collazo. Hatton is a stronger boxer than Mayweather and nearly as fast. Poor Mayweather..
Like i have said all along Hatton is bringing a lot more to the ring than Mayweather has ever been dealt before. IF Mayweather thinks Hatton will not punch him and pressure him for 12rds he is wrong. Hatton would go 24 rds if he thought he was winning. The will to win will be the difference on the night and i think Hatton wants it more!
lol...Ive heard it all now.
Give me one reason why he wouldnt be up there? Some of your guys make me sick with your stupids statements... How can a 10yr unbeaten world champion not be considered when condiering boxers from all eras?? I want you to answer this with a proper answer !
feed-the-goat you put it very well my friend!! I know what mayweather can do but its the ability to do it under such agression that he will be facing. I watched Mayweather V De la Hoya and thought Mayweather looked very ordiary, he had no answer to De la hoyas early pressure only when De La hoya tired did Mayweather control the fight. If Mayweather thinks Hatton will tire he is in for one serious shock. I remeber the Lacy fight after the 1st round his corner said to him "He cant keep this up for 12 rounds" well Calzghe did. Boxers like Calzghe and Hatton are different because of the will to win!! I dont think Mayweather understands how much Hatton wants to beat him and that excites me so much! If Mayweather digs deep and holds off an attacking Hatton and wins i as a boxing fan will be the first to say WELL DONE!
But Floyd is 3 inches taller and has the longer reach.
Is Faster.
Has better defense.
More accurate puncher.
Better movement.
Just an all around better fighter in EVERY area.
Dont talk shit". Hatton is stronger, better body puncher, harder puncher, can punch from any angle and has a bigger heart!!
Some boys are in for a shock!!!
I totally disagree with you! This is Hattons fight this is his moment! You talk about preious figths of HAttons all learning experiences!! What about Mayweathers joke of a win over De La Hoya?? Hardly impressive now if De La hoya had a lil more gas in the tank he would have won!! Hatton aint gonna run outta gas thats for sure!! Not a betting man never have been and never will be but i fill its Hattons time.
100% for what its worth i will praise Mayweather for beating the best they put in front of him. If he beats Hatton he will retire as one of the greats and will be remebered for beating De Lay Hoya and beating the undefeated Hatton in his last two fights, not many people could do that. However if Hatton wins well theres gonna be a lot of people getting there eyes opened!! I just hope its a fair fight and doesnt fall to no dogey decission cos Hatton aint gonna win like that.
I think it all comes down to the Collazo fight, regarding the judgement of most. Hatton really struggled there. He said afterwards 147 was too big and Collazo was very strong. Mayweather is levels above Collazo and the fight is at 147. Considering the factors, people expect a one-sided fight.[/QUOTE
Collazo was Hattons first attempt at 147. What his camp have learned from that fight is unbuyable. Lets not forget Hatton won that fight so he too is a level above Collazo. Hatton is a smarter, stronger fighter now at 147 and is coming off the back of a stunning knock, Mayweather is coming off the back of a lucky win with De Lay hoya. If anyone thinks this fight is gonna be one sided you are on the wrong website cos u know nothing about boxing!!
We knew that before the fight, Lacey trainer said "when he ducks under those ropes i see a 168lb mike tyson in the ring" Lacy was the book makers favourite he was odds on to win!! 1200 puches Calzghe threw to lacys 300. Hattons bringing the same to Vegas!!
