Here a question, how many fighters has ricky hatton faced that have ever been in the top 10 p4p?
So far i can think of two, Kosta and Castillo.
And he hasnt even fought castillo yet.
If you ask certain questions, you get certain answers.Comment

Mayweather announced his retirement following the Baldomir fight. At that time, Mosley and Hatton were nowhere to be found. Now that he's retired, all of a sudden they want to act like they've been wanting to fight him all along? Even Cotto's people want to fight Mayweather now. You never heard a peep about Mayweather from Cotto's team until Mayweather announced his retirement...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...
The fact is that since Mosley and Hatton have been ducking him, there really isn't anyone else to fight and nothing left to prove...Comment

Maybe the fact that PBF has faced more is the reason why he's higher ranked than Hatton...
How about that for an intriguing proposition?Comment

Not making excuses. I'm stating facts. If Mayweather had asked for $20 million a few years ago to fight Hatton, said his tooth hurt when asked about a Mosley fight last November, or turned down a fight with DLH because he wouldn't fight at 154, maybe I would need to make excuses here. But the fact is I don't.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.
Hatton has always said he wanted to fight Mayweather. When the fight was offered to him, he made excuses about needing more tune ups, building his profile in the US, and pricing himself out.
Mayweather has always said he wanted to fight DLH. When the fight was offered to him and he had to move up to 154 for the first time, use DLH's preferred brand of gloves that could hurt his hands, fight wherever DLH said the fight would take place, and take half the money Oscar was making, he had no problem signing for that fight. It was signed within 2 weeks of the Baldomir fight.
That is what a real fighter who wants a real fight does. Mayweather gets a lot of **** for his talking, but Hatton and Calzaghe are the type of fighters who flap their gums but won't sign on the dotted line when the contract is right in front of them. Only a bias fool like yourself would not see this.
You may not start threads, but you're quick to jump in them just like this one...Last edited by Guest; 06-19-2007, 07:10 PM.Comment

i was agreeing with him and saying in a general sense "dont yall even try to discredit him" probably because i was typing how i speak it came off as an attack, i was merely adding to his statement but i used the wrong wording. But thats not how i meant it. But thank you for your inputComment

Okay then, maybe it is a contributory factor.
The point being that your point was utterly redundant.
Yes Mayweather has fought more people who have entered the top 10 over the course of their career. Yes the strength in depth of his resume is better than Hatton's. Yes he has achieved more titles at more weights in his career. Yes he is more deserving of his place at the top of the P4P rankings than Hatton would be if he were placed there. HOWEVER, as virtually NOBODY places Hatton at the top of the P4P list...what is your point? Furthermore, what is the point in making your point?

I could sit here and say: "Tyson had pretty fast handspeed and punched pretty hard". But as virtually nobody is disagreeing with that statement...what is the point in me doing that?
I dont imagine that anyone worth listening to here would say that Hatton ought to be higher up the rankings than PBF. The point of this thread is that Hatton's biggest win is better than PBF's biggest win. Try debating or agreeing to that, rather than making irrelevant points that nobody is arguing about.
