    2008= mayweather took a title defense he knew he would win and only beat hatton because hatton is the smaller guy and forced him to fight him at welterweight, mayweather only takes easy fights against easy competition, thus his welterweight defense against hatton means nothing because hatton is the smaller guy.

So what does it say for the rest of Floyd's opponents when they are beat by a guy "way too small" for them?

        there's no weight classes in golf, tennis, basketball or etc...

        mma does have weight classes, but brazilian jujitsu is all about trying to beat someone bigger than you.

        as floyd has moved up in weight his offense has suffered, but it's a testament to floyd's skills and talent that he continues to beat larger opponents.

                  Coralles at 130 punches harder than Joe at 175.

                    So you saying Pierce can't score 22 ppg? You forget Pierce is from LA, Inglewood to be exact. It was maybe 2 years ago Pierce dropped 40 on Kobe in LA. Pierce is the TRUTH for a reason. I guess you don't remember Pierce scoring 41 points on the Nets a few years ago in the 2nd half and overtime in the playoffs. I am not saying Pierce can drop 60 or better like Kobe can but he can damn sure drop 50 on any given night in any gym.
