But you guess Hatton was scared though, so I suppose if you guess it, it must be true.

A lot of valid points. Some of them remind us what is bad about our favorites sport. Why all the talk just to make fights happen. There needs to be a comprehensive ranking system that everyone can agree on, so we get more competitive matchups.

Originally posted by bdevils View PostSo your saying Floyd should give in to what Hatton wants in order to get a fight with him? He made offers to Hatton which he either turned down or priced himself out. Hatton was ringside when Floyd fought Gatti and was supposedly next in line to fight Floyd but I guess Floyd's performance scared him off because he didn't see interested then. Anyway Floyd is the bigger name than Hatton so there is no reason Floyd should have to give in to get a fight with him it's just like Oscar is the bigger out of him and Floyd and thats why floyd gave in to Oscar's demands.
Welcome to the world of boxing.
Fact: Hatton is bigger in the Uk than Floyd is here in the states!

Floyd's scared of a Margarito who hadnt fought any good fighter, has losses on his resume to bums, and had just got beat by a sorry as Santos at 154? Floyd's scared of that guy but at the same time is trying to fight guys like Shane & Oscar at 154 when Floyd clearly didnt belong there? Then the Clottey fight came and now its like no one talks about Margarito anymore. Where's all his hype at now? That guy was going to beat Floyd? Floyd beats Oscar at when he clearly didnt belong there and Margarito cant even beat Sanots but Margarito can beat Floyd? Someone please explain that to me. I dont know why so many people even made a big deal out of Margarito calling him out. He only called him out because he knew that he was the bigger guy, Floyd was the #1 guy, Floyd brought the big money, and Margarito wasnt a big name. If Margarito had money, fame, or was rated high like the other guys I named then he probally would turn down some fights also but he's not in position to do that. He has to take those big fights because its the only way he gets money or any exposure. He's know different then a regular fighter in that respect.
Ive also said this before but Ill say it again. Go back to what I wrote up top about the guys who avoided Floyd. If he had those guys then what would you say? How come he doest get any credit for trying to get those fights? If it was anyone else you guys would be talking about how he's the most avoided guy. Lets say that Floyd went the Hopkins, Tszyu, Calzaghe route who all of you sweat. Lets say Floyd never moved up. He didnt have to because he's a little guy. What if Floyd was still at 130 or 135? Who wouldve beat him? He wouldve owned little guys like MAB, EM, JMM, Pac, Diaz, Guzman, and whoever. Then you guys would be saying he has the best resume in history. None of those guys wouldve came close to him. He didnt want to stay and beat up little guys. He could easily fight at 135 right now and you know it. Instead he's at 154 fighting guys like Oscar who's a legend & weighing 168 and still winning. How impressive is that? Its not like Oscar's a bum. He just KTFO of Mayorga, yet a little guy like Floyd beats him when he could be fighting at 135. Its even more crazy because guys like Chico, Castillo, and so on were way bigger when they fought Floyd and now Floyd is fighting at weight classes way bigger then them when anyone will tell you that there still way bigger then Floyd.
I also look at the Zab Judah fight. I said this in another thread. Zab had a huge impact on Floyd's career. Think about Zab after the Spinks KO win. Everyone loved him, had him rated high, had him as the most exciting fighter out there, and everyone wanted to see him vs Floyd. It was a match made in heaven and there were a ton of articles about it. Floyd and Zab then made the fight before the Baldy fight. What if Zab cleans Baldy's clock like he was supposed to? That fight wouldve been so big and so hyped. Floyd wouldve got a ton of credit for taking that fight. More the likely the fight wouldve still went the same exact way. If that wouldve happened then alot of people would be praising Floyd's recent resume. Zab's lost to Baldy changed everything. What if Zab had beat Baldy like he was supposed to and Mosley had took the Floyd fight? That means 3 fights in a row Floyd wouldve fought Zab, Mosley, and Oscar. You cant keep blaming Floyd for all these things. Give the man his due and recognize his greatness
