Why Floyd doesn't look spectacular when he faces good to great fighters?

[Boofdatruth]

I thought it was LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Yeah, dude, okay, you win. Corrales was on ***** street for half of every round, hurt all the time, and was probably going to get put in a coma if his corner didn't stop it.

lol..man are you on something......he was just knocked down......and got up........his corner stopped the fight while steele was counting.......had steele let it go, floyd was going to pulverize him, and if he didn't get him that round, he mightv'e gotten him the next........what are you even talking about with all that other crap you are adding in???????????...........lol........snicker........ ..

You have the Tiger Woods in golf, Roger Federrer in tennis, Kobe Bryant in basketball, Anderson Silva in MMA, etc.,etc. All these guys make their number one opponents look like nothing. Floyd doesn't even face his number 1 opponents and he still doesn't look spectacular.

You make a great point.

Fighters tend to be less dominant and struggle more against the best fighters. That's the way the sport is.

Outroughing Hatton, putting on an inside fighting clinic, punching him from all angles with combos landing every shot in round 8, putting on a jabbing clinic (r9) and then knocking him out... looking bad?

seriously?

For real. Mayweather kicked Hatton's ass. Hatton mauled Mayweather and made him work harder than usual, but Mayweather was landing the cleaner shots throughout the fight.

Hatton forced Mayweather to work the most since his fight with Castillo.

Plus wtf was up with this ****? Floyd grabbing Hatton, if i was Hatton i would have swung at his ***** ass.



Does a natural lightweight look like this, lol ****en floyd nuthuggers. Mayweather looks like a middleweight. whats even more funny is he's trying to intimidate a fighter like Hatton which you can't intimidate, lol, floyd looks like he has to ****.

This is so dumb. Floyd Mayweather is undefeated, that's all that matters. Meaning, he hasn't been beat. And for the record, Tiger Woods has had A LOT of close calls. And lost quite a bit too! It's a dumb, dumb analogy but hey, if you're gonna use it, use your head.

And one more thing. When Floyd Mayweather took on Diego Corrales, he was a young, undefeated champion ranked #7 pound for pound by Ring Magazine. Chico was rated #5. Mayweather knocked him down FIVE TIMES and stopped him in ten. In other words, delete this thread.

Why would Hatton take a swing at the weigh-in?

Remember how much it cost the last GBP fight who fought at a weigh-in?

And that wasn't even a punch. It was a little shove from Hopkins.

For Kobe Bryant it's easier to make shots in the playoffs against the toughest opposition with the clock running down. All due respect to Floyd's skills but he can't perform to his best when the pressure is on. DLH, JLC and even in the Hatton fight he looked bad until the ko. He didn't even look that good against Judah. I can give him the Corrales fight but that's the best that I can do.

This is ****ing ******. I am really starting to question the IQ of some of you people who draw these comparisons.

Let me ask you this, when Kobe is being gaurded by shane Battier what happens? What are his percentages when being checked by bruce bowen? How about Tayshaun Prince in the 2004 NBA finals? Basketball is a team sport, boxing is one on one. Kobe also had the advantage of having Shaq and now Pau Gasol to aid him to the NBA finals.

You say Mayweather "didint look that good" against Judah or Hatton. Let me ask you, how do you explain Kobe bricking tonight when it mattered? How about last year against pheonix in the playoffs? If Kobe goes 4-12 but hits a game winner, isnt that the same as Mayweather looking a bit troubled early in the hatton fight and knocking him out? Even then, Hatton wasnt even really troubling him, he just was in his face mauling him, not really attacking him, he went in with a terrible gameplan and Mayweather outworked him and knocked him the **** out.

Whats ****** about this is that i could go further back and draw comparisons as to why the GOAT Jordan couldnt get it done when Joe Dumars and the Bad Boys roughed him up over and over, and why he didint win any championships without Pippen, you get my drift? Dont ever talk about basketball ever again.

You dont know **** about basketball so just leave the comparison out of this.

You must be kidding!!! Floyd won all them fights with ease!!!

JLC this fight was a very long time ago and floyd did win that fight no matter what you say and he also won the rematch pretty easy IMO!!!

Zab IMO won the 1st four rounds and since i like zab more then floyd i was hoping he couldve gone all the way to win the fight but once again floyd showed great skill and composure to turn the fight around for himself!!! And im sorry to say that if my man zab hadnt hit him in the nuts then floyd wouldve stopped zab also!!!

DLH was only good in the 1st few rounds then floyds class showed and dlh couldnt keep up with the much smaller man!!!

As for Hatton Floyd showed he could fight on the inside and he could be dirty if thats what it comes down too!!! He kod hatton with a beautiful punch!!!

Funny thing was that everyone gave floyd no respect what so ever after beating hatton!!! Any of these guys really!!! Even though all the haters were saying that floyd would be beat before the fight!!! When floyd won Hatton went from Superman to Cat Women!!!

Floyd will never be respected by the haters IMO!!!

Well he's actually grabbing him because he off balanced... Hatton was falling...
