If Floyd beats Hatton, will he get more respect in this forum?

[Dorian]

Nope, there will be an excuse. People will say Hatton was overated and too one dimensional. lol

or it was at 147

or it was at 147

Yup.lol. Theres always somthing. Then if he beat Cotto people would say Cotto was overated, thats just the way the boxing fan base operates.

When your the best at what you do you will always have haters.

Perfect response. This topic should have been closed after this.

There will ALWAYS be haters. Imagine these forums if existed during Ali's days? Haters glorified.

Floyd is widely regarded as thew best fighter in the sport, so how could you ask for "more respect?"

Exactly. Its only a few that ridicule Floyd so stop acting like its the majority of posters.

Mayweather wasn't born at 160lbs himself. He has already been pushing it at 140, 147 and definitely 150. Hatton is skilled, in his prime, relentless, difficult, linear 140lb champ, young, walks around well above 160lbs comes into the fights well above 140lbs.

yeah okay. that's just IGNORANT.

yeah okay. that's just IGNORANT.

I've been here for years and one things I've noticed is theres always somthing with every fight. Spin doctors...lol. If they wouldn't say Cotto was overated there would be another excuse as to why it doesn't mean anything.

Or if he beats Margarito it will be "Well Marg lost to Williams and was overrated and slow anyway! Floyd needs to fight Williams!"

Or "Williams isn't all that good, barely beat Marg, is just tall and inexperienced"

"Hatton was one dimensional and really 140"

"Cotto was overrated"

"DLH was too old"

"Pavlik was too slow"

"Wlad was too chinny"

heck Floyd could fight King Kong and it would be "Kong was just an overrated ape and tv media creation! He needs to fight David Haye!"

[King Koopa]

I doubt it unless he gives him the Gatti treatment

I doubt it unless he gives him the Gatti treatment

then they will say Hatton was nothing more than another Gatti
