    Floyd Mayweather..

    Eats , ****s , Breathes therefore he is Human.
    Human and not Super-human or indestructible.
    Yes he has great Boxing ability.
    BUT he isn't undefeatable.
    So far he has carefully chosen his path from the 140 division upwards and until December the 8th will not have fought a renowned undisputed , Undefeated Champion in their prime.
    So far his list of opponents with belts on his adventures up the Weights have been well past their best or clearly NOT the BEST in each respective division.
    At 140 he never fought Kostya and then Hatton(When he took the crown) who were the REAL champions at that weight limit.
    At Welterweight he was lucky enough to have a very Shaky fighter called Zab Judah who firstly gave his titles away to a Journeyman and has since been beaten much more convincingly by Miguel Cotto.
    Floyd beat the tired Gatti at 140 who has since lost to another unremarkable fighter in Alfonso Gomez from a reality TV programme who would , without that show , never have been heard of.
    Baldomir suddenly was Champ and also won against a shot Gatti.
    Any other Welterweight Champ in History would have dealt with Baldomir easily , hell there are Fighters in the division who would have beaten him easily enough, he was just fortunate Zab held the belts.
    The right place at the right time.
    Then we have the fight with Oscar at 154 for the WBC belt.
    Oscar was another man who started his career at the lower weights.
    And that was where he himself was most successfull.
    Fortunately for Floyd Oscar was and is at the tail end of his career and at the age of 34 was a shadow of his former self which was proved when he was gassed after 6 rounds.
    Perhaps Oscars inactivity was a factor as well bearing in mind he had fought only 3 times in the previous 3 years?
    Would Floyd have been so succesful against a man like Winky Wright who was much more a natural light middleweight?


    Yes Floyd has done well on his rise through the weights , but as yet , WHO has he fought that has tested him?
    WHO has he fought that was the BEST in the division at the TOP of their game?
    Saying this , Zab gave him plenty for 6 rounds before losing focus.
    Some people dispute the decision over a tired Old Oscar.
    Please don't give me the nonsense of him lacking in stature as the only man he met at 154 was himself a former Super-Featherweight champ.

    In my opinion those who write off Hatton's chances with contempt must be pretty ignorant of these facts.

    I am not a Mayweather Hater , in fact I certainly believe he his very gifted.
    But I cannot stomach the nonsense I hear that he is the greatest of all time and he is a genuine accomplished champ at 140 , 147 & 154.
    There are many unanswered questions with Floyd.....
    The First of which will be answered on December the 8th.
    Although he is already making his opponent fight him outside his natural weight category.

    I await the hate.

    No hate. True, he's human. So is Hatton. Let's see who's closest to being superhuman on the 8th.

      Great post man. I make PBF a favourite and think he can easily outbox Hatton if he runs allnight, but Hatton has a chance and a good one at that.
      I lost touch with a lot of boxing for a few years and am just starting to get back into it, so I've not seen a great deal of PBF only highlights and one fight against De La Hoya so maybe I'm believing the hype that surrounds him.

      I know my boxing and it's obvious he is a brillient boxer, if I'd seen most of his fights I'd have a better idea of the outcome. But I know enough to not write Hatton off completely and if there is any style that can beat PBF then it's a relentless performer like Hatton. But I'm still leaning towards a PBF win, I just hope I'm wrong big time.

        it won't happen, floyd will pot shot hatton, and counter punch him, and move when he's cornered.it will depend on the way the ref referees the fight.

              So you Totally believe that the Referee is the one who will be the reason for whoever wins?
              Nothing to do with the fighters ?

                that was one hell of a post. but i think he is right its going to come down to the ref. you have to look at it like this. hatton is not as fast as floyd and i dont think he has the counter punching skills like floyd. so there for hatton is going to have to smother him on the ropes and in the corner and not let floyd run around. but if the ref is like joe nady and doesnt put up with the hitting and holding hatton will have a looong night bc he will be thrown off his game. like in the castillo fight. floyd was abbused on the ropes and in the corner and the ref was all about letting them fight. a shot DLH once floyd was on the ropes would pound floyd. if the red lets them go and fight the fight that they want to i can see hatton winning. if it comes to where everytime hatton is hitting than holding and the ref breaks them up. than its over and a long night for hatton.
                but your post was really good. its finally good to see a post about maywheather that has nothing to do with why he sucks or why he's great. it opens your eyes to what he is all about.

                    I'm sorry I didn't realise this was an English language class.
                    But no matter , you have no worthwhile response so why bother at all?
