Mayweather a legend?

Earlier in Hattons career the 135 lightweight title could have bean achieveable, but he has left it late now because it would be a struggle. It is justs that PBF naturally weighed that little in his younger days. Could you expect PBF to win at the lower weights like 120+ now. No! If PBF moved down to fight Pacman, Pacman would take him out in style imo.If Hatton could make 130, he either would be so drained that he would be absolute **** at the weight or he wouldn't be able to handle moving up more than one weight class. The thing is Hatton doesn't use skill to win. He uses size and activity. That doesn't get you very far when you move up and you no longer have the size advantage. That's why he couldn't even handle moving up to welterweight. Floyd is one of the most skilled fighters of all time, that's why he can constantly move up in weight and keep winning...Last edited by hugh grant; 04-13-2007, 08:04 AM.Comment

Only Cos PBF might kill himself making the weight, If you wanna talk about Pound 4 Pound, which means skills regardless of Weight, PBF would hurt Manny real bad.Earlier in Hattons career the 135 lightweight title could have bean achieveable, but he has left it late now because it would be a struggle.

No, legends are phenoms. Who are special and accomplish special achievements. Legends are the greatest of humanity in their sport, profession, hood, etc. Ultimately, a legend is equated to respect and held to accountability beyond mankind, legneds are greatness. So yeah he is a legend and he has accomplished some great feats.Comment

And Margarito is the best? Now that ain't cool...I think he is big because of perfect timing.. He came around just at the right time when there is really no one out there. I don't think he wouldn't be as big if he came about the 80's or 90's. Of course he looks great fighting B and C type fighters. I give him cred. for Castillo and Corrales, not so much Judah since he just came from a loss from Baldomir. When it comes to fighting some decent names though he acts like he ain't listening and makes excuses like first its about the money, then its about the legacy.. etc. Turning down 8 mil to fight Marg.. So Im glad he took the fight with Oscar even though he a bit old he still have some fight in him. If he takes on Mosley after I will give him all the respect he deserves but untill then he aint cool in my book.
The only way you become the best is to fight the best.Comment

Margarito and Williams is not on his level and they will be just another landslide fight for him. Hatton and Cotto have to be willing to get in the ring with him. Hell Hatton has to be willing to get in with anybody who has a pulse and we will find out some more about Cotto and how he'll be able to handle a creature like Floyd on June 9th.Lets not get Crazy, DHL is not a legend. He's a superstar boxing figure but not a legend. Mayweather is on his way, but even if he beats DHL and Mosley I still won't say he's legend. He needs to fight more NOW fighters, fighters who arn't getting rusty but are hungry. Cotto, Hatton, Margarito, & Williams. If he can take out two of them then He'll be a Legend.Comment

there is only 1 weight class where he wasn't and that is 140 and we all know why...Yes, but like Oscar, not all of those title represented the legit championship on the division.
Just sayin'. (^_^)
Floyd is not one of the best ever, yet, based on his resume. However, he is a very good fighter (resume) and based on skills and how he wins (performance) he is very excellent.Comment

Yes that is what i am saying. I appreciate that PBF is p4p better. Lets admit not by much though as Pac is actually rated No2 and that is why PBF would be favourite. But yes PBF would kill himself to make the lower weight and that is why even though he won belts when he naturally weighed less. It is not to say he could go back down now and be effective and win.
And what i am saying is that Hatton would struggle now to win a lightweight title but in Hattons earlier day it would be feasible for him to do it and be a 3 weigh champ now.Comment

P4P PBF is far superior to Pac-Man, he is quicker, more skilled, more accurate, fitter.Yes that is what i am saying. I appreciate that PBF is p4p better.

But yes PBF would kill himself to make the lower weight and that is why even though he won belts when he naturally weighed less. It is not to say he could go back down now and be effective and win.

Pacquiao is a very dangerous fighter, but he way too predictable, jab, jab, southpaw left. lol
He aint landing on Floyd with that, and Floyd would counter him brutally all night long,
now, yesterday, in the future
