    mate i agree with u to a point, but a Mayweather isnt the biggest seller, and more money would be made from oversea's, it doesnt matter how successful a fighter is but having a win oversea's make a impact, jesus Calazaghe had a fight in Germany and how much stick does he get ?!

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

        If u wanna talk money and where the most could be made thats another story... but u said floyd is only the us champ if he dosent fight outside of america...thats not a money argument... again....the best competition is in america be it white ,,black,,,spanish...whatever......no great fighter has to go anywhere outside of america to find legitimate fighters.... Now if there happens to be a great fighter outside of america and he dosent want to come here to fight thats fine...we dont need him we have plenty of great fighters to take his place...most fighters and most great fighters in this day and age fight in america its for a reason...all cultures meet here...thats the reason its world champion because its all cultures that fight here......and if u beat all cultures like the romans once were u are world champion....

          Hatton is a devastating bodypuncher who wore down the great Kostya Tszyu, and stopped Castillo on a brutal bodyshot.

          If Floyd is able to dominate and KO/TKO this monster, does that mean PBF belongs in the discussion of GOATs?
          he has to beat cotto and mosley too. maybe with those wins the fans can forgive him for ducking margarito.

              ...........

              I think mayweather has to clean out that division to secure his legacy...and i think he can do it if he decides to.... I dont think he ducked margarito but we'd end up going back and forth on that one...all i know for a fact is that mexico has never won a world cup with all their great indian wariors...arrows arent what they used to be......

                Since when was Ricky Hatton, "great"? He's horrid and should have lost his 0 long ago. Just ashame it's gonna happen by Floyd Jr. It's not like it won't make Floyd's ego get any bigger than it already is.

                  Margi got exposed. This is on no one's minds but the haters, definitely not the knowledgeable fans.

                    Since when did Hatton become the benchmark for greatness, I'd be more impressed with wins against Cotto and Mosley than the hitman, soon to be the gethitman.

                      It would be a great win, much better than Cotto or Mosley.
