Will Mayweather stand toe to toe with hatton?

[Boxinguru]

You Never Know...

Usually floyd trades with guys he thinks that can't hurt him (chop-chop & sharmba). I think after fighting at the heavier weights for some time that he is used to that body mass & feels he can take the shots. Not to mention that after his last 2 "negative" performances he feels he has something to prove & probably will take more risks! With the reach & speed advantage he prob. feels Ricky won't be able to counter him effectively going back or coming foward. For some reason though i think were going to see the best Ricky Hatton ever. I think Ricky is going to suprise some people by "switching up his attack" by boxing & brawling! Let's just hope for a good fight!!!

As a matter of fact, yes i did boo SRL during the Duran rematch. In my eyes it seemed as if SRL knew he couldnt beat Duran, so he chose to clown around instead of fighting. As far as Pernell, he was a defensive wizard who made u miss while standing right in front of you, then made u pay. He didnt run around the ring pot-shotting all night.

PBF has done, and does, BOTH.

No disrespect intended, but you seem like you have only seen the Baldomir and ODLH fights.

Did you see manfredy? chavez? corrales? castillo? Judah? Bruseles? sharmba? Corley? ndou? GATTI? I would recommend that you go watch those fights. Please remember that Floyd was a B.A.D fighter. And Boxing After Dark was known for exciting matches. In fact, I NEVER heard anyone call PBF "boring" until Baldomir. SO IT'S EASY TO TELL THE GUYS WHO ARE NEW TO THE SPORT.

What Ray did was say "OK, I fought your fight last time, and you beat me. Now, I'm gonna bring you into MY world". That was SMART.

Boxing isn't a test of "who can punch harder and take more shots". Humans have legs for a reason. When I first took boxing lessons, they taught me footwork and movement before they focused on throwing punches. I'm guessing there's a reason for that.

It seems as if you want guys to bring a couple of chairs in the ring, to sit down, and start wailing on each other.

Please look at the attached link, and let me know if that style is unacceptable. And if the crowd sounds bored.

I never considered Floyd boring pre 147. But since beating Gatti, his mouth has been on OVERDRIVE. When your calling yourself the best fighter in the world pfp, people tend to hold u to a higher standard. To me, Boxing is a combat sport, where the objective is to take the other guy out. Im not much of a fan of fighters who have the potential to win in fascinating fashion, but opt to piter pat thier way to a points victory. Think about it, when was the last time Floyd actually threw a combination? He has turned into a "one and done" type of fighter. Im guessing and hoping that he's now coming out to make a statement with his next few fights. If he did a little less **** talking, and a bit more fighting, fans would embrace him alot more.

I never considered Floyd boring pre 147. .

Then, you realize that he changed his style to accommodate fighting bigger men.

Would you say that changing your style to suit the type of opponent is a dumb thing or a smart thing?

Would you say fighting at 1-2 weight classes above where you should fight is a brave thing oir a cowardly thing?

I happened to have seen Mayweather's second or third pro fight and even back then, maybe even more so back then people were at least as if not more annoyed as they are now with Floyd staying in a shell when it's obvious he could be doing more to put it mildly.

[The Troll]

He was getting booed out of the building.

well you can define a boxer by his whole career, but if you're discussing about the present then i would say yes he is pretty boring. im not saying that its wrong, but my opinion is that agaisnt dlh he fought boring.

Floyd's motive for moving up in weight was for money, and money alone. One day he's saying that a belt dont mean ****, then the next he's bragging about holding 5 titles in 5 different weight classes. He's constantly contradicting himself. Now do i think it was brave or cowardly to fight 1-2 weight classes above his natural weight? It was smart from a buisness point of view, but he opted to fight in a "cowardly" fashion. With the exception of a handfull of fans, NOBODY wants to see the "so-called" pfp champ pot-shotting his way to a victory. Fight fans want a champ who's gonna put it all on the line in order to win. As of lately, Floyd has been doing "just enough" to win. He calls himself the Best at 140, 147, and 154, yet he hasnt defended his title not ONCE since leaving 135. He has division hopped in order to face "less risk, high reward" opponents. Are those the charactaristics of a "real" champ?

It was probably his second fight, which he fought his first southpaw, and understandably, was a little more cautious because it was new territory. If you are talking about the one all over youtube, the only reason they were booing is because he was showboating so much, and no one knew who he was. But for some reason, Floyd actually wasn't as exciting at 130 as he was at 135 or 140, or even 147 (except for the Baldomir fight).

[The Troll]

It's not a fight I saw on youtube.
