Ever since Arturo Gatti was disemboweled in his fight with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., it's been exceedingly clear to boxing insiders that Pretty Boy Floyd is the world's greatest boxer. Not even the heavyweights want a piece of Floyd's action. It is one thing to bludgeon an opponent with well hammed fists, but you have to catch him to hit him. And, with the exception of a Ricky Hatton match in England, grappling is not allowed in the sport of boxing. Thus, it doesn't matter who you are. Even George Foreman in his prime would be ripped up by the Floyd buzzsaw and eventually knocked out. The fact is that nobody can trap the lightening in Floyd's bottle.
This of course leads to the ultimate question that has lingered around boxing for the last year or so: Who would win in a fight between the great Mayweather and Muhammad Ali? Well, the general consensus of opinion is that Floyd would win in the 10th by overwhelming an exhausted Ali with his superior physical reflexes and almost superhuman strength. Not even Ali would be ****** enough to tangle with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on the inside. Therefore, Ali would play an outside game, and a veritable dancing contest would evolve. But, that's exactly the kind of game that most suits the quicksilver feet of Mayweather. By the 10th it's over, unless Ali managed to land that one lucky punch. Nobody's ever been able to do that to Floyd, so why should we believe that a lesser light like Ali could luck out on one big swing for the fence?
Yes, it's clear that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the greatest fighter that ever lived. Ricky Hatton, taking this fight was your first mistake. Your second mistake will occur when you step into the ring...with the legend.
