Give Floyd His Due

[Ryn0]

I can't believe this is the wake up call people needed, people who couldn't see that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the greatest fighters of all time before the Hatton fight .. I mean, that's your opinion .. I just can't see how anyone can think like that, then again I'm a huge fan of his. But I'm glad to see he proved you all wrong

I think this was the wake up call because it showed he can punch at welter and floyd was at his most uncomfotable but managed to pull out that win. He did what he promised he went toe-to-toe, unlike the de la hoya. I hope next time he's more respectful but I became a fan last night.

Hatton was Out Boxed, Out classed, but very, very brave.

i thought i was gonna be more happy about hatton getting KO'ed, but actually i was happy to see floyd fight and win immpressively and hatton won some respect for me, he fought a good fight...

As I was watching it, I kept thinking Hattons camp will watch this later, say the Ref stopped Ricky fighting his fight and if he hadnt, things may have been different. (early round when Floyd wobbled)
Then when Floyd made a point of saying I love the Uk fans (x3) and have never fought in England, boxing wont retire me, I will retire it. I thought 39 fights, 39 wins, an 80.000 crowd at Wembley, retiring with an almost certain 40 wins, huge pay day for both fighters, Hatton may well be invited to take Floyd on again..................
