Thoughts on Floyd Mayweather (Hatton too)

[Super_Lightweight]

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

Eh, no. Roy had more power, and sure he did his moves, but his power and combos flowed more frequently than Floyd's did. Roy wouldn't hold Ricky's left arm all night like Floyd did to Hatton. Roy was always more fun to watch than Floyd could ever hope to be. All the weakness of Hatton that allowed Floyd to stop him would have gotten Hatton stopped even earlier vs Roy.

Hatton smothered himself as well, and no he should not have been on the outside. I never said that. He should have been in close but not so close than he can't even punch. Notice the difference here.

Kayann ur krazeeeeee.........

roy was only athletic.......

he was not a technical fighter............

he dosent compare to floyds skills.........

athletic he does...............

but boxing skills aint even close mayweather by a landslide..........

Offensively Roy's better than Floyd.

Defensively Floyd's better than Roy.

That's my honest opinion.

Jack, you're right. Roy was the better offensive fighter. But Floyd's defense makes him the one with more longevity.

Either way, where are all the British fans to whine about the negative stuff I said about Hatton? It seems a lot of you Floyd fans focus only on the negative even after a big win. Acting as if I only detracted from Floyd. Don't be so sensitive, ladies.

On P4P scale Roy is a waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger puncher than Floyd.

While I do agree, that if Prime Roy was against someone similar to Hatton (in style), he would've fought more offensively and throw more combos.
Don't forget to mention how much of a bigger puncher he is than Floyd on a p4p scale.

Floyd fought ugly and dirty, because he was in with a class of opponent which required him doing that for winning. Floyd comes to win, not to look flashy.

Roy Jones never faced a challenger as live as Hatton after age 25. So the point of "Roy would have done this and that" is simply ridiculous. Roy Jones never faced anyone close to Hatton after he fought Toney. Sure McCallum and Hill are great names, but one was a 39 years old former jr. middle and Hill just went through the grind of DM. Mad credit to jones for dominating them, but they dont imply nothing on how he would fight hatton.
