What does Hatton have to do against Floyd to earn Americas respect

[col Blake]

even if Hatton KOs Floyd the septic tanks will not take to him because he's English, you know the country that owed America and deap down they really want to return to that as they have no identity of their own, so no matter how many fighters Ricky blows away he will still be hated becasue his haters really want to be like him English the yanks have a real little mans complex, they are mostly English anyway if the trace back or or at least they were sold there.

He has to make it competitive. He doesn't have to win 4 rounds or anything, but he has to make Mayweather work for it. He has to do better than Chavez and Carlos Hernandez to get my respect; otherwise, he's just another European fighter with an inflated record.

fighters like Mayweather like to take rests and admire their own work Hatton needs to stop him doing that if he does then he has a real chance of stopping him, hope so anyway Mayweather is one of those upity people who had nothing as child and now has a huge chip on his shoulder.

Much to the contrary. Mayweather was a spoiled child. His father was a reasonably successful fighter and his uncle was a champion. They both doted on Floyd. They took Floyd to the gym and he got into tournamnets very early.

Floyd was a Daddy's Boy. The rift was created when his dad effed up and disappeared on him.

The entire Mayweather family has very inflated egos. Daddy feels he is the best trainer in the world, and son feels he is the best fighter in the world. It's just who they are.

Sorry Welter, but Oscar De La Hoya is still one of the best fighters in the world. Floyd's win over Oscar is the best win by anyone this year.

It could well be said that Hatton's win over Tszyu was the best win by anyone in 2005, as Tszyu was pretty well recognised at the time as one of the best fighters in the world. Personally I respect Mayweather for his close victory over De La Hoya, it was a brave fight to take. But I also think it important to show the same respect for Hatton's signature win over Kostya.

No disagreement.

The difference for me between Hatton's Tszyu win and Mayweather's Delahoya win is the size differential. Delahoya is a 154 guy. The other three are 140 guys.

So, the question I ask myself is: could Mayweather have beaten Tszyu? and could Hatton have beaten Delahoya?

But take into consideration that Mayweather is bigger than Hatton, who's just under 5'6'' and has a reach of only 65''.
