          He won me over on Sat. I always knew he was going to win but never thought he would KO Ricky. Then what he said about Hatton at the end was great!

              Floyd said he was going to stand in the middle and trade with Hatton and, for the most part, he did. That was impressive, finally having the conviction to back up his mouth, but what really makes me respect Floyd more as a person (and also a fighter in some ways) is the true class he showed after that fight. Nothing but praise and love for Ricky, even beckoning him over to give his side. I knew the bravado and arrogance was an act to some extent, but I am truly shocked to discover that it was pretty much all an act.
              For the most part the ref stood in the middle

                Haha I know man I dunno WTF is going on, though with Hatton I was kinda picking with my heart not my head, and yes, I do mean Taylor Pavlik 2, Taylor boxes smarter this time out and wins by decision.

                I always respected his abilities in the ring, and at no point said that he wasnt the best fighter on the planet, he was just an ******* and a dull fighter. He is now proven as not only DEFINITELY the P4P #1, but a great inside fighter and an all around decent bloke, despite all the **** he chats before a fight.

                    Yea it was hard for me for Hatton, he was all everyone would talk about over here and its very easy to get caught up in the hype, but i still managed to use my head, only just though lol.

                    and yea, Taylor does look more promising this time out.

                      If mayweather beats cotto and williams....and possibly just cotto...

                      It wont matter if the haters still have something to say....

                      because history will remember him as one of the best........

                      if he retires now he'll be up there but not as high as if he beats cotto and or williams...

                      after hatton some people are coming around and recognizing him even those who were once haters..

                      now after cotto and williams someone new will emerge...

                      but history wont regard that because eventually mayweather has to retire..and cant fight forver...

                      he cant be 60 and haters still saying well when is he gonna fight so and so...

                      mayweather is still young........

                      and he can beat cotto and williams.......

                      get it done floyd ......

                      and it wont matter what anyone says......

                      because history will be on your side..........
