    If Floyd makes this a boring fight..

    Could we all agree that he has turned into a boring fighter?.. I mean those who point to like fights 4 years ago are living in the past and its pretty much ****** to point to those fights so long ago because when they come to the excitment factor they are irrelevant.

    Depends on what you consider boring. I enjoy fights where a fighter shows a skill-level that dictates the pace of the fight. If he hardly throws anything, that's one thing. But if he picks his shots perfectly, shows tremendous skill/speed and accuracy.. I wont hold it against him. The game is to win.

        Its so funny that you say 4 years ago when its only been 2 fights. It was 2 fights against guys who were much bigger then him. The 6 fights before that he either stopped the guy or came very close to stopping them. Again, why dont you guys aknowledge his weight disadvantage. Its not fair to compare him to other guys who have fought in one weight class there whole career or guys who always fight smaller guys. Its not the same at all.

        As for this fight, it could go a number of ways. Dont act like Hatton is a guy who is easy to look exciting against. He can be very boring his ownself

          Floyd has 4 KO's in his last 11 fights. Hardly THE most exciting fighter at these heavier weights.

            In all honesty, there is no reason that Mayweather doesn't open up on Hatton if he has him hurt... he is much smaller than Mayweather's previous two opponents, so it shouldn't be a big deal to take the risk of absorbing punishment from Hatton.

            If he doesn't do something exciting in this fight, then it probably is safe to say that he is not an exciting fighter.

              anyone think hatton is boring? look at his fights holy mackeral. castillo fight? ok constant hugging in what was supposed to be fight of the year nope dud of the year. urango fight well hmmmm don't think we need to talk about that one. collazo fight? he lost and he kept hugging the whole fight to get his shots off while getting outboxed only time he could score was when he clinched. tsuyu fight was the biggest foulfest in the world. hatton doesn't like speed he likes to fight old slow guys like tsuyu and castillo look what happened agaiasnt collazo lol this is gonna be funny.

                You dont have to stop a guy to be exciting. Wasnt he exciting against Zab & Chop? He nearly stopped both and he was somewhat weary because they were southpaws. Wasnt Calzaghe just exciting without stopping Kessler?
