Mayweather would never beat Hatton...

[hugh grant]

True beatin Hatton in your backyard with ref, judges on your side is easy. In manchester it would be harder. There is a thin line between victory and defeat. The ref allowing Hatton to work and the pressure PBF being scared of the judges would tip the balance to Hatton.
SO PBF not as good as Ali, SRR and Pep etc. Still great though PBF, but needs to travel to impress. Too much protection from refs.

Did Cortez deflect that left hook?

Seriously. If it went to points, then maybe you'd have an arguement, but Floyd dropped him like a bad habit.

It was a wicked hook though wasn't it?

In theory if Cortez had let the fight evolve from the beginning Mayweather may not have thrown that hook, and Hatton may not have rushed in with his hands down, but all this is obviously pure conjecture. I mean we know who won the fight, so all this debate is superfluous. But I'm a fan of Manchester City, I've been dwelling on "what if" for my whole life!

Yup- the hook makes the arguments futile.

Mayweather was landing those punches and Hatton was charging in like that since the second round...

He almost dropped Hatton in the middle rounds with it, but Hatton grabbed onto Mayweather for dear life.

Other than the second round (I believe that is when he called 3 time outs, correct?), the refereeing wasn't too bad.

8th round, I think.

In England. In Manchester. At Light Heavyweight. In a drinking contest.

Joking aside I'd like to see a little more maturity in posting. There's an awful lot of gloating which just isn't pretty, and some of the insults are infantile and depressing.

There's quite a few people with whom I've had plenty of disagreements who use this site to discuss boxing. We argue and we ***** and we debate and we argue some more. And this is great. But at the same time there's a large minority of posters who seem to use this site to be cheerleaders and bitches and that's kinda crap. Then there's an even smaller minority who seem to use the forum as a means of purely getting people's backs up, and that's extremely bizarre behaviour. You know who you are. Get a hobby. Try and date girls.

Anyway props to those who have taken defeat and particularly victory with grace becoming of decent human beings.

Also Ricky wins a pie eating contest.

YOU KNOW , you seem like a really nice person.
