Tszyu Was Rated #3 p4p When Hatton Defeated Him

Good.

We dont need the reasons and the excuses $in. Every fighter has them and you widely discredit Joe Calzaghe's and Ricky Hatton and every other British fighter's reasons, so lets not bother giving PBF's excuses and reasons any more respect.

Unless of course you WANT to admit to being biased or unfair towards particular fighters.

Calzaghe is in a different class of champions than Hatton or Mayweather. Calzaghe has NEVER fought anyone good during his title reign even if there was a possibility. Hatton and Mayweather may not have taken EVERY opportunity but at least they took some.

Floyd's never fought a top 10 P4P fighter "at the time", forget top 5.

Castillo & Corrales have been in the top 10 before, but dunno if they were at the time Mayweather went against them, think they only broke the top 10 after there legendary first fight.

[Allucard]

you have to ask yourself first, who, in mayweathers divisions has even been rated that high other than himself?

You mean 5 divisions. Oh yeah baby 5 division world champion! PBF rules. And BTW i'm sure all of his opponents were ranked pretty high. He fought many number 2s and 3s..

Did Floyd Mayweather ever fight a top 5 P4P fighter when he was P4P? No.
Did Floyd Mayweather ever have the opportunity to fight a top 5 P4P fighter while he was P4P? No.

Every fighter has excuses? Sorry, I don't hear Floyd Mayweather making excuses about this topic because he has no reason to. He either fought the best available opposition or tried to make the best possible fight and was turned down. Hatton and Calzaghe, on the other hand, are always making excuses for why THEY turned down fights. Calzaghe is currently playing this game with Kessler as we speak. The excuse this time will be they don't like the date for the fight. If anyone is bias here, it's you...

y do euros try and justafy ricky hattons record


he is jus a euro bum

if tszyu was rated #3 must have been a sick day at ring magazine

[Steelhammer86]

Yeah, but not his fault. He called out Mosley when he was P4P and Mosley didn't want the fight. He asked Hatton for a fight and he didn't want it...

Mosely wants to fight him now - why won't PBF do it? Did he retire to keep his "0"? People on this board say welterweight has the best boxers - is this the right time for PBF to retire? Maybe when Mosely is 40, PBF might come out of retirement and fight him but right now Mosely is TOO young for his age...

How can people discredit Hattons opponent in Kostya. Whether Kostya was No1,2 or 3. PBF hasnt beat anyone ranked that high. PBF knows it. So in his career he shoiuld box at least 1 p4p person to clear up any criticisms of him. He knows he hasnt boxed any elite fighter like Hatton. Even though Hatton has only beat 1 elite p4p fighter. He has at least shown he can do it.
Who you beat in the top p4p is what it is all about nowadays. JT beat Hopkins and he was automatically top 10 p4p.

Then you really ought to stop making excuses for him.

As for my apparent biasy, you go and see how many threads negative or positive I've made about PBF, Hatton or Calzaghe. You'll see how even-handed I am when we compare it to your over-whelmingly pathetic statistics.

because oddly enough, PBF ****ing mosley is actually justified if you know the history of them two trying to get in the ring with each other, its probably the only other time other than margarito where floyd had every right to downtalk someone calling him out.

i dont buy into alot of what floyd says because hes his best promoter, but the **** with mosley is justified, if he and mosley never fight, its on mosley.
