It's Official: Mayweather and Hatton Sign Contracts To Fight

[JT1967]

At least he was king of the division for a decade. unlike Mayweather who ran from each division.

As if the undefeated Judah was "clowning" with the WBA belt at that time.

It's the sport we have chosen to fall in love with.

Oscar had all those negative things to say about Floyd TALKING. But then his promotional partner MUSHES another man's face unprovoked at the weigh-in. What was Oscar's comment on THAT? Shane was laughing at the action.

And Hopkins blatantly admitted to the media that he ONLY did it to sell more PPV's and to make ESPN.

So, if you are going to detest PBF for TALKING, then you must also detest Oscar, barrera (who punched Morales) , hopkins, Tyson, mayorga, etc.

PBF has never taken a swipe at a fighter outside the ring. He just talks.

That's because DLH is a hypocrite and most people know that. He portrays one image to the public and contradicts it at every turn. Floyd had him pegged correctly on that one.

Dave, you are an unreasonable guy. So I'm probably spinning wheels here. But I give a guy who moves UP in weight more credit than a guy who artificially dries himself to keep fighting smaller men (Yeah, Antonio...I'm looking in YOUR direction).

Mayweather was at 140. Hatton turned down a fight and Cotto turned down a fight. So Floyd "ran" from Vivian Harris and Junior Witter to go fight Zab Judah and Oscar Delahoya? What a *****.

[JT1967]

Pryor is around 4 or 5 to me.

I'm a stickler for the resume. What were your results? And against who? That is why I am such a supporter of RJJ. say what you will now, but he dominated TWO first-ballot HoFers in their primes and at their best weights.

At the end of the day, it's going to be hard to call PBF an all-time great at any single weight. Maybe the best argument is at 130. But if he beats Hatton and the winner of Mosley-Cotto, then there can be no argument about his inclusion on any shortlist of GOATs.

I'm not putting him above SRR. But I'm entertaining any SRL vs PBF discussion. For sure.

A definate ATG at 130 no question. Beating the unskilled Gatti for a title at 140, beating Baldomir and an out of form DLH (although it was close) leaves his resume wanting at the higher weights.

As if the undefeated Judah was "clowning" with the WBA belt at that time.

If you don't remember the Tszyu fight, I suggest that you go watch it again. Tszyu threw the right punch. ABSOLUTELY. But Judah's hands were down at his sides. Judah had dominated round 1. So like the idiot he tends to be, he came out clowning in round 2, and KT did what he had to do.

Examples of Judah "clowning" in the ring abound. Did Judah take the Baldomir fight seriously? He was the undisputed WW champion at the time.

You are making it sound like Judah is some boxing scholar.

a switch hitter like Witter would beat Mayweather. And if a re-match was available with Judah.

Witter would KO him in the 3rd round.

Of the current WW's, who has the best resume?

I say that baldomir, judah and delahoya (154) is probably as good as any of the other young lions out there.

Margarito is 2-1 vs clottey, cintron and williams. That's solid.

Note: DLH was not 'out of form'. DLH would have spanked the **** out of nearly every WW 9and certainly hatton) on May 5th. True Story.

Out of form:

Just like Muassa was Lucky to KO Harris, I believe Mayweather was LUCKY to beat Castillo over 24 rounds.

Harris would TKO Mayweather. Because Stevie Johnston is world class and better than Baldamir and Judah. PS: Judah was shot to pieces by Carlos
