Why do Floyd Fans compare Hatton to Gatti ?

[Mozza]

Who was the welterweight ****ing champion.
Your bias is actully quite pathetic.

Yes, by default. We all know that Zab Judah with his head screwed on would have went past Baldomir with ease.

Yes, by default. We all know that Zab Judah with his head screwed on would have went past Baldomir with ease.

You knew this immediately after the fight?

Even though Judah had not melted down like that yet.

You didn't even consider that Baldomir might have been the reason for the meltdown?

Really?

I don't compare Gatti to Hatton. Gatti is more exciting and will prolly go to the HOF because of it. hatton will soon be forgotten atleast here in the States anyways. And the HOF of boxing is in the US. Without US support of boxing, this sport prolly would die. I think people believe and say that Floyd is gonna annihilate Hatton like he did Gatti. But I don't people are comparing their styles, Gatti only holds when he is hurt.

I still don't get people's beef with the Baldomir fight. I mean, yes, Baldomir was not the best fighter at 147. Period.

He did have the WBC and Ring belts for that division. Why the **** not beat a guy with the legitimate titles if it's an easy fight?

Floyd is "The Man" at 147 right now because he beat that "glorified journeyman" in Baldomir. What a ****** decision to fight him, right?

I will tell you exactly why I don't like him, Baldomir has become a pin-up boy for some people and I find it embarrassing. He got lucky against Judah, laboured past Gatti and then fought Mayweather in one of the most dull, one sided fight I have ever seen.

[Mozza]

If Baldomir was "glorified", it was because he "glorified" himself via his in-ring performances.

What like the one against Gatti? Or Mayweather? I think what you meant to say was that he glorified himself via his in-ring performance against Judah because everything else has been dire.

If Baldomir and Judah fought 100 times Judah would win 99 of them, it just so happened that the time they did fight was that one time when Baldomir was due a win.

Baldomir earned everything he got in the ring. He beat Judah and demolished Gatti.

mayweather did what mayweather does. Alot of guys have been shut down by Floyd, so there's no shame in that. And baldomir went on to further establish his bona fides by fighting Vernon Forrest tough at 154.

That would be the equivalent on Castillo coming back to take on a tough WW. What's the likelihood of that happening?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I definitely do not agree with that. I think that baldomir walks through Judah's stuff like he did in that fight. And in MANY fights, Zab would fall apart like he did.

You hold zab in very high esteem. Zab is very dangerous with his speed and power, but Floyd and Miguel (and Baldo) showed what happens when you put him in a pressure cooker.

Because they have no clue

I would favor DLH in that matchup personally, but the fact that you could only come up with 1 basiclly proves my point anyways.
Face it Oscar is a contender and is NOT washed up.

Karmazin could beat Oscar as well as Forrest possibly.

And yes Oscar is washed up. The guy lost 3 of his last 5 fights going into the Floyd fight. He beat Mayorga who is nothing more than a punching bag.

A prime Oscar would have destroyed Mayweather. The bottom line is Oscar wanted to win the fight but didnt want it bad enough. He faded down the stretch and went away from the jab.
