      DOoo B doooo be dooooo

      Floyd can beat anyone in that division ,, his toughest fight would be against Williams ,, but that laying on the ropes wont work against williams because williams stays busy,, that great defense would also hurt floyd in against williams because again william stays busy,, Floyd i still think would win if he opens up and i think he'd have to in a fight against williams,,but floyd is a smarter boxer and im sure can figure this out on his own,,, the other fights he would win and i think he should clean out that division to secure his legacy,, and please stop comparing jones jr. to floyd..jones jr. was an athlete,, he was never a technical boxer,, when he slowed down he got knocked out because he couldnt box,, now floyd is athletic as well but make no mistake ,,mayweather is very technical.....now Floyd lets start cleaning up this division.... margarito was always calling u out and he got beat....start with hatton,,, another one of the many over hyped boxers who come out of britan,,,when u whoop him.....continue cleaning out the division on ur way to the hall of fame...............

        The reason he will fight Hatton is legacy. Hatton will be a british all timer i'm sure. (before you flame note the world british!) And when Hatton's career reviews on ESPN classic 10 years from now they will have to say "almost perfect record having just lost to the best fighter of his era and possibly the best thecnical boxer of all time" That's how Floyd Mayweather sees it. He could beat 35year old Shane Mosley easier than Cotto. Alot of people forget you are an old man for WW at just 35 whereas in HW you are considered as "just matured".
        The way i see it, he's not the best thecnical boxer of this era but the best full package of this era. Sheer fastness and perfecting the stick and move style to a level i've never seen in any fighter past or recent makes him that.

            ...................

            And still Hatton is over hyped.... how can a guy who's always fought in his backyard ,, than fight a guy who's a bum and barely win,,, than drop down in weight because he couldnt handle the weight....ever be on espn 10 years from now....And floyd can fight on the inside ,,,outside,,, against the ropes ,,stick and move,,,and even trade when he feels like it....now if u say well i dont think he would have beat sugar ray leonard id say yea i agree with you...but hatton wouldnt even be a blip on the map in the days of leonard,,duran,,,hearns and hagler.......where as mayweather would have been in the mix.....The hype will be over when mayweather and hatton sign to fight.....and i think hatton may get exposed even before he fights mayweather if he takes many fights before fighting mayweather.....

              Roy has more style, pop, and tenacity than Floyd ever had or will have. An old ass Roy was walking down his opponent last night, coming forward even though he knew he could've been KOd just like before. Sure Floyd is better at this point.

              but prime for prime, one man was a better artist and more inspiring...
              where was that tenacity against tarver??????
              anyways
              how is floyd avoiding talent at 147??
              i thought everyone wanted to see floyd fight hatton?
              williams is a decent fighter but he still needs work
              cintron isnt that good
              and the cotto and floyd fight will happen
              mosley - floyd called him out last year and sugar shane didnt wanna fight
              margarita - is garbage
              its a lose lose situation for floyd
              it doesnt matter who he picks to fight
              he could fights sugar ray robinson, tommy hearns, cotto, and mosley the same night and haters would say he still ducking someone
