    Floyd has Harsh Words for media

    On Ricky Hatton being a “more exciting” fighter…

    FMJ: If you think punching and holding is exciting, then good for you guys. But where I’m from, the sport is called boxing. This is an art. This is a chess game. You guys loved Lennox Lewis right? He was a boxer; he played chess. That’s what I do. I take the least punishment to make the most money. I’m a smart fighter.

    On going to war with Ricky Hatton…

    FMJ: You’ve seen me in a war. I was in a war with Ndou. I was in a war with Jesus Chavez. You’ve seen me box on my toes. I fought toe-to-toe with DeMarcus Corley. I’ve stood toe-to-toe with guys.

    On Hatton’s “dirty” tactics…

    FMJ: Over in the U.S., all that dirty fighting isn’t going to fly. Over here, he gets away with a lot of bull****. He’s an extremely dirty fighter. Over in the U.S., he’s on my turf, and we call the shots. Over here, he fights in small rings and all of that. But when you come over to Vegas, there’s only one
    Mayweather.

      This is the only reason I actually dislike his Floyd. He ****ing calls himself like Money Mayweather too. How ****ing pretentious can you be?

        willie pep said the same thing

        i dont blame fighters for being safe in the ring, just don't expect to gain more fans if you play it safe like he did versus baldomir or castillo in the rematch.

          I'm not refering to him boxing. I could give a **** less how a fighter chooses to fight in the ring; it's their choice. It's his phrasing. Not, I take the least punishment to deal out more... no. It's I take the least punishment... to make more money. He can think that, but don't say it. It turns people off.

            Exactly. Boxing is a physical, confrontational sport. If u choose to fight in a manner that keeps action and aggresiveness to a minimum, then dont get mad when fans dont embrace you.

              Its called hit w/out getting hit. PBF is 1000% spot on here. How can anyone other than bloodthirsty UFC F A Ggot type fans want anything else.

              Its called boxing...not knockouts. Grow up...

                  Aggressive yes but action hell no!!! Hatton hugs and hits there is nothing exciting about that.

                    not everyone can be like oscar.

                    ****** can have a boring superfight and still sell large ppvs and keep his fan base.
