Mayweather Finally Gets To Ricky Hatton

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

one doesnt have to disrespect past fighters to promote their fight, much less to promote yourself as the best. you're way too blinded if you think this is not so. that's the diff w/ ali. he may have disrespected frazier, foreman, etc but only because they were his contemporaries, he knew that they brought to the table against him. but he wouldn't disrespect SRR or Joe Louis or any past great.

Bog,

Listen to the question and answer at 7:45.

Offer me your honest perspective as to whether that is a reasoned , mature viewpoint.

Are you going to bet those epoints or not?

Gone quiet has he?

"For the first time during the tour, Hatton appeared to lose his temper as he shot back at Mayweather's claims."

And that's all that Floyd wanted to do.... get under rick's skin.

Oh don't be silly; he's just being dismissive of Floyd

[Bogler]

He didn't disrespect them, he says he is the best of all time. Did you see the interview where he thanks them for what they did and how they paved the way for him and how they are legends in their own right? Although that is more than hyperbole he believes it and what is the problem with that? Disrespecting the greats would be saying "they all suck compared to me, they were trash I am the only great" but he didn't say any of that. Actually saying he disrespected them IS hyperbole. He said he believes he is the best of all time, nothing more nothing less.

damn take off those blinker cups, you cant see anything outside pbf's world.

lol, It seems that way, this is someone I have to say is all talk and no action.

During the very first presser, Floyd kept telling ricky to "say something, say something".

"Grand master plan"? where'd you get that? Floyd is no genius or master manipulator. Far from it. But he was persistent, and over time, you just get tired of it.

PBF was under hatton's skin, and you can tell from ricky's incessant complaints to the media that Floyd did not show him any respect.

I'm sure the ear muffs Ricky was wearing at the NYC conf were a indication that floyd's talking is getting to ricky as well....lmao
Sorry but I disagree

How am I being blind I satated what he said. He thinks he is the best, I don't agree with him at all but if that's what he thinks good for him. Some people hang on every damn word the man says. I THINK I AM THE GREATEST BOXER, oh crap I am a disrespectful bastard now? Give me a break and stop being so sensative.

I'm just agreeing with Mark Vester's article. If you disagree, fine.

Thus , the world keeps spinning.

But "dismissive" is "No, Mr. Reporter, i don't pay attention to what he is saying". Dismissive is not "Mr. Reporter, why won't he show me any respect?".

JMO....we'll move on. Much love.

I still find that disrepectful, saying they paved the road for him. Come on reminds me as if ppl like SRR, Ali, Louis, Duran, and ect slaved for him some sort of statue of worship. Being ****y is another thing but saying your "Gods gift to boxing" is another. I do think Floyd is going to win Dec. 8th , and I dont care who wins or loses this fight cause I am more so on the neutral part of things and just wanting to watch a greating boxing match. People replying back talking about how Ali said he was the greatest, and also remember Robinson was quite the egotist himself. That is true and a good agruement to defend Floyd, but in most peoples eyes Floyd still hasnt done enough to even claim that. The way I see it is let him say what he wants you as a person know/think who the real GOAT is, just like Floyd does. Like someone stated it could be just to sell the fight.

OK, but it wasn't about showing Hatton any respect, so it's not like Hatton took PERSONAL offense.
