Floyd Mayweather:"Hatton Looked Like Garbage"

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

Mayweather and Hatton need to stop the talking and sign to fight each other. A fight at the end of this year makes sense if they both come through against top class opposition.

People in the U.K. make me laugh out loud.Your history shows how you take these mediocre fighters,like HugMan and build them up against sub-standard competition and expect the rest of the world to fall for it also.

We here in the US of A are smarter than that.Of course Hatton,Calzaghe and the rest sell out your arenas,you people think any win is a good win.
It's like the minor leagues of sport.You root for your home boy...even when he is fighting a corpse.

Calzaghe's fight against the tv game loser,is already sold out!!!
If that fight were held here,and it was FREE,the arena would be 3/4 empty.
We know a joke when we see one...too bad you folks don't.

Ricky the HugMan is just the latest...build your record up with semi tomatoe cans,defend against some other bodies and call yourself "great".

Oh yeah,pretend you really want to fight a real champion like PBF...

I will give Hatton this...he is exciting.Because he is life and death in all his fights...against guys that PBF would have knocked out.

It will be interesting this weekend to see Collazo fight Sugar Shane.Collazo who kicked HugMan's ass,what will he do against Mosley?
If Mosley blows him out,how will Rickey's hard fought 'win' look?

Anyone trying to compare stardom between Hatton and Floyd is a ******.

Floyd is nowhere near the name Hatton is. Hatton is the biggest name in sports in England since Beckham left to join the MLS....and he regularly has sold out M.E.N. arena for the past five damn years.

Exige posted ticket sales etc. It's not even ****ing close you idiots.

U talk ****,Floyds a much bigger name then Hatton,obviously Hattons the bigger name in UK,thats like me saying DLH is a bigger name then Hatton in America,its obvious he is,DLH's Americas hero like Hattons Englands hero,Floyds a bigger name then Hatton in USA,Hattons a bigger name in the UK,u really are a Floyd hater aint u,ur trying ur best 2 discredit him

[Cletus Funk]

Hatton was a bigger name in the UK after 15 fights than Floyd is in the US right now.

Floyd will never be a superstar, he's too dull. Forrest Gump runs less than him.

Again with the running bull****. I'm so sick of this. HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OTHER FLOYD FIGHT APART FROM THE LAST 3 ROUNDS OF THE BALDOMIR BOUT?!?!

If Hatton is such a big name, why can't he make as much money for his fights as Floyd does? His biggest purse so far is 3 million, whereas Floyd has gotten more than double that already and will get at least 4-5 times that for fighting DLH...

£3 million or about $5.85 million.

£3 million or about $5.85 million.

Which is less than $8 million, but of course Floyd isn't a draw...

[El Jesus]

He closes the gap, and does work on the inside.

Floyd widens the gap and attempts to do work from the outside.

but we have seen floyd fight very well on the inside, case in point, jesus chavez. i aint got nothing against you knives, but your wrong, floyd does it inside and out.

[El Jesus]

I wouldn't go quite as far as saying Hatton is the biggest sports star in the UK, (thats never going to be a boxer) but he's very popular with huge swathes of the North and yep, he could sell 60,000 for a fight against a big name, no doubt.

He's the biggest name boxer in the UK since the JuyJuy years....

Very interesting that the biggest names in sport in the UK tend to come from

1) Football (not just Beckham!) Gerrard, Rooney
2) Tennis Henman now Murray
3) Motor Racing - Button
4) Rugby - Wilkinson
5) Cricket - Flintoff

I bet most of the US guys on here will never have heard of any of those people, but then again I couldn't name a single current American football player and only know Barry Bonds for the Balco scandal!

i think that Heargraves would be on that list too if the English press didint blackball him for playing in Germany.
