    that's why if it goes to decision i think it's floyd by ud.

    but it's a 12 round fight.

    in 36 minutes floyd will get caught with something.

    none of us really doesn't know how floyd would take a shot. he rarely gets hit.
    True, it would have been very interesting.

        Also, check if the tear in your mom's **** has healed.

        Was Floyd out on his feet? Obviously not. People out on their feet aren't able to cover up effectively enough to block shots. Was he hurt? Yes.

        I have heard many people try to tell me that Floyd wasn't hurt, and excuse me for not keeping up on your personal definition of each word.

        Seriously though, did your mom have to get stitches?

        EDIT: It's been a year and a half now. I'm a vet at this point.
        Ohhhhhhhhhhhh burnnnn hisssssss hissssss.

          Hatton retired Kostya. Mayweather exposed Hatton. I don’t think a fighter lioke Kostya has the ability to beat Mayweather. Only bigger fighters than him have a chance.

            I cant stand when people do these "Fighter A beats Fighter B so fighter B has no chance against Fighter C."

            Styles make fignts. Hattons style was a nightmare for Tszyu. Mayweathers is obviously a completely different story.

              Whatever Dirky... those triangle (or square) theories always have predictive results...

              Check this out:

              Shane Mosley beats Oscar De La Hoya twice.
              Vernon Forrest beats Shane Mosley twice.
              Ricardo Mayorga beats Vernon Forrest twice.

              And look had badly Ricardo Mayorga beat up Oscar De La Hoya, right?

                  kostya was what 35-36 yrs. old? and was very inactive for long periods of time in his later years due to health issues.

                  hatton wasn't exposed. floyd was just better than him. floyd would beat everyone at 147-154 right now. (and no cotto guys cotto wouldn't have beat floyd. maybe in a year or two when he's rusty or slowed down)

                  people take L's too badly. all the greats have L's. not to say ricky is an all time great. losing to the #1 p4p guy is not that bad.

                  as they say , "if you haven't had a loss yet , you're not fighting the right people."

                    Thats why I think it would be crucial for Kostya to have the fight at 140 where he was such a beast. Mayweather didnt really do much of significance at 140 and was more concerned about picking up a title and a payday before getting out.

                      i feel the same way. kostya's body was tailor made for 140.

                      at 140 he has a chance against floyd.

                      at 135 or 147 floyd beats him.
