    Are you blind, did you see the punishment Chavez took just to get inside of Floyd consistently? That was brutal.

      Floyd has the cunning ability to adapt during fights. He finds the right angles, and he finds the right punch, and once he does, you're ****ed.

      The last three rounds of the fight, Chavez was eating right uppercut after right uppercut after right uppercut after right uppercut.

      He would find the punch Hatton is vulnerable to, and eat Hatton for breakfast, just like he did to Chavez.

      And to me, P4P I would take a prime Chavez over a prime Hatton. Chavez was no joke and was an elite fighter with a very solid career.

        2) I think Foreman was pretty biased against Floyd in that fight
        3) Foreman made himself look ******.
        4) Premature stoppage imo, although in reality it would have just gotten worse from there.
        5) Great fight
        1.) How? when I watched DelaHoya fight a clown last May 5!
        2.) With respect to the man, he can tell a power punch & powerless PBF punch.
        3.) He's not ******, he's not a PBF nutlicker like... you know who!
        Foreman still one of the greatest fighter of all-time
        4.) CHAVEZ have a big heart. His corner knows that PBF is ahead in points, though they know that CHAVEZ will not be KOed by slaps in the face, still this will accumulate in points. They need to stop the fight coz Chavez needs a KO to win, and he do not have a KO punch like PAC!
        5.) Great fight....for nutlickers!

            Hatton is better, so this comparison suggested by the video is useless.

            But as far as using this as evidence that Gayweather will take some shots and keep fighting that's fine.

              If you compare this fight with Hattons last, hes not better than Chavez in this fight. PBF is still doing the same thing. You know what to expect. Hatton has changed quite a bit for the worse. That being said, I doubt they ever fight.

                This fight was years ago. Floyd only fights guys his size or smaller like that.

                With that said, who cares. He's doing his thing.
                When it's all said and done, he will be recognized as one of the greatest of all time.

                  This was a FOTY candidate, and is personally one of my favorite fights to watch.
                  What a fight that was,how come that didnt get FOTY? It was one of the most exciting fights ive watched,great GREAT fight,people dont understand how exciting Floyd was at the lower weights,and that now hes moved up,he cant fight like that,hes gota protect himself against the bigger guys

                      You can't be serious. Chavez looks like a slow SMW in that clip.
