Thoughts on Floyd Mayweather (Hatton too)

[warp1432]

You're right....Floyd isn't like Roy...he hasn't got KTFO out...twice.

[BmoreBrawler]

it was a boring fight I though until the brutal KO which made watching it on sopcast worth it

preliminary fights didnt help, Gatti/ward wouldnt have been exciting after that ****.

Roy was not a risk taker, but he took more risks than Floyd in fights for the sake of hurting someone. Let's see how Floyd looks when he's 36 if he's brave enough to stick around that long. And let's see him go back down to 135 or 130 and do what Roy couldn't.

Til then, you have no point.

Mayweather should get some credit. He fought one of the best fighters in the world last night and won by stoppage. Certainly, this surprised me. Mayweather unleashed some power (finally) late in the fight. After back to back wins this big, Floyd is an all time great.

However, he was still **** to watch as usual. When he was younger, the combos would flow like a river. Vs Hatton, he mostly pot shotted and held. The way he used elbows to the face, and his right arm to clamp down Ricky's left to his body, was annoying as hell. That is not boxing. It's dirty.

Floyd went through hell last night and showed some grit though. He fought fire with fire.

Hatton looked good for 7 or 8 rounds. He was definitely in the fight. But he got tired and the big stage affected him more than Floyd, though Floyd looked nervous in the early going. Perhaps no one will be able to mimick what Castillo did to Floyd. Hatton brought a lot of tenacity, but foolishly he smothered his punches over and over again. He could have given himself a half foot more on the inside to unleash his fast hands. Instead, he pushed Mayweather and tired himself out as he found Mayweather to have good stamina over the long haul.

Cong**** to Ricky for his effort, and Floyd for another big win. But what an ugly dirty fight. Please don't compare Floyd to Roy any more. Roy would have never been in a fight that lame with someone like Hatton, even with the mauling tactics of Hatton.

But he did that because hatton was in his chest fighting his dirty fight ...or is wrestling now considered not dirty in boxing.......

lets have a rematch where hatton stays on the outside and boxes.....

he'll get knocked out in the 5th round..........

everybody wanted a fight where mayweather would have to fight........

and he did.........

and he knocked hatton the **** outttttttttt....

so what are the complaints about now.........

if he's on his bike people complain........

if he stands toe to toe people complain.........

get off that shyt...........

hatton got dominated and knocked the **** outtttttttttttt.....

at his own game..........

stop cryin lil nicca...............

p4p best fighter in the world............FLOYD MAYWEATHERRRRR

Well since someone bought up Roy.

Roy had a whole lot of unentertaining fights.

And you want to talk about Roy taking risks?

Instead of closing the show by KOing his opponent, he'd rather just win every round and do chicken moves.

Roy had the power to KO many of his opponents that went the distance with him, Floyd doesn't.

Why didn't Roy close the show like everyone would've like to have seen
Because it didn't make sense putting himself at risk.

People overlook the fight that Castillo was Floyd's first fight at 135lbs. and that he wasn't even a good in fighter back then.
Floyd is just a master at adapting to his opponent's style.

You name me another fighter who has been able to change up what he needed to do as good as Floyd in recent times?

Nobody.

The Roy parallel is interesting, though. I don't think Floyd has better skills than Roy- but at this point, he may have the better career. Roy's big void in competition at LHW was just too much.

And I'm a bigger Roy Jones fan, for the record.

Roy was athletic like floyd...........

but roy is not technical like floyd...........

roy is subpar when it comes to technical skill compared to floyd.......

thats why when his athletic side started fading.......

he got knocked the **** out twice.........

because he wasnt technical.........

Shut the **** up with that ****, already. Nobody is trying to hear that recycled **** after every post. Even I was happy for Floyd, but damn. I would think that the man needs the room on his **** so he can have some fun after the fight. Why don't you hop off?
