Is a Hatton victory good for boxing?

[oovavu]

How is Floyd protecting an unbeaten record by fighting a top ten p4p guy? Who is actually younger and bigger than him? And undefeated?

Please help me understand.

I don't mean just floyd i mean in general, boxers shouldn't be able to take easy fights ever its bad for the sport the best should be continually be fighting the best, be it floyd, pac, hatton calz et al. I know theres too much money involved for it to ever happen but its what should be happening.

I've already done it many times on other threads. You're the one who said Miguel Angel Gonzales was not an "elite" fighter. FYI that poll ended up about 50/50 after the older guys weighed in with the truth....How old are you Dios? Just curious...

By the way, you are hanging your hat on the fact that 45% of posters said that MAG was "elite".

Again, cong****.

Hopkins and Toney are Hall of Famers, playboy. Toney was p4p #1 when Jones beat him.

First of all, I've met Mike Tyson on several occasions. He isn't 5'11".

But I'm willing to concede a two inch difference.

Here's the massive height difference between Floyd and Ricky:

err but wasn't floyd tellin ricky he was too small? it means **** all mate get over it

Care to answer the question? Or is your avoidance an admission that you can't?

I thought I answered your question. Scroll up.

If the best only fought the best, how do young fighters or prospects get a chance?

What if Oscar never gave Shane, an unproven WW, a chance?

Is this Ricky Hatton who YOU SAID is smaller than him, fought nothing but scrubs and is not even a top 20 p4p guy?

Floyd also told Ricky that he would butt**** him. You taking that as Gospel, too?

Hatton and Graham have REPEATEDLY said that Floyd is smaller.

Not hanging my hat on anything. Tszyu's record speaks for itself IMO. Regarding the issue of this thread, he was certainly one of the bright spots for boxing in a generally crappy era for boxing. Thank god for the lower weight classes. Welter is called the heartbeat of boxing and I tend to agree.

No, you didn't.

But I can understand why you need to avoid the question. It doesn't support your position.

Who has Floyd outweighed on fight night since JWW?

Fighters shouldn't be able to take easy fights?

Who the hell is to say what fight is easy? Second of all, unless it's just OVERWHELMINGLY uneven, who's to say an unheralded fighter doesn't deserve a shot? Carlos Baldomir would still be broke, if we went by the logic that someone SEEMS to be an easy fight, so the fight shouldn't be made.

Boxing is the sport of underdogs, fighters with the "ONE LAST SHOT" hope and a prayer, and the guy with the punchers chance. You eliminate a huge elemnt of what makes this sport special, when you take away "easy fights."

By the way, with a big time fighter, every fight is hard. Even if it's just getting up for the fight, it's a big fight. Ask Erik Morales, Zab Judah or Vic Darchinyan. None of the guys they were upset by (Zahir Raheem, Carlos Baldomir and Nonito Donaire) NONE, were assumed to be world beaters. Those were to be "easy fights" for those guys.

Unless a fighter is just COMPLETELY SUPERIOR to a fighter in EVERY CONCIEVABLE way, I see no problem with a fight being made, unless it's in avoidance of another fight happening. Every fighter deserves a chance.
