In your eyes what makes a Boxer a Coward?

[Miburo]

Hard to say. Probably not taking big fights, just being content to protect whatever piece of the alphabet pie you've acquired. There are some foreign fighters who can hardly help it though, impoverished and questing to earn a decent living. Management plays a role.

Stay at 140 to do what?? Tsyzu was beaten, He fought gatti, Hatton wasnt ready nor would Arum put Cotto who was still green at the time in there with Mayweather at 140, He saw an opportunity to go after oscar for the payday and he did.

At 140 Mayweather is more dangerous than 147, He hasnt even grown properly into his 147 frame when he fought Hatton, if you compare people like Williams,Margarito and cotto to Mayweather in his fight with Hatton then you would know you're looking at 140Ib fighter.

Moreover Billy graham said it also that they would only fight one fighter at 147 and that Mayweather because he feels(And hatton said this himself also) that Hatton is the same size has Mayweather if not bigger.

Ray, you are wasting your time with your true logic.

Get a grip. Floyd knew Hatton couldnt go at 147 which is why he postponed his "retirement" for another easy payday.


LOL.......................

True logic?

The boy is still sore that no one remembers Junior ****ter and that Ricky didnt waste his time fighting him.

Oh wait, Im UK biased right? Witter = ATG

I see a lot of talks about this guy is a coward, that guy is a coward. What reasons do you think need to exist in order for a fight to be a coward?

I think how a fighter reacts to cuts/injury in the ring tells ablot about their bravery. Do they continue and fight harder or crumble..

It has nothing to do with being overly defensive in the ring. I'll tell you that much.

Hatton is a bum. He would've lost at 140 or 147 to Floyd. He never fought Witter because of some phony reason. He beat an old Kostya Tszyu, and many believe he lost to Collazo. Take your Hatton opinion and toilet it.

Billy Graham also repeatedly said Hatton is a junior weltwerweight and didnt want him up there. He said he'd fight there cos the money was there. Stop twisting quotes to cater your Hatton obsession.

Stay at 140 for what? Errrr I dunno.......to dominate the division. Isnt that what Great fighters do? Not pick up a belt and a paycheque and move on. Mayweather picked on Gatti cos he was shot and it got him a payday/PPV slot, then moved on to bigger things........Sharmba Mitchell

Try and stay focus, discuss boxing and make some sense. Nobody is twisting quotes apart from you mate, Graham didnt say they're fighting Mayweather at 147 for the money..He said they were fighting Mayweather at 147 because he isnt any different from Hatton in size.

Mayweather was right not to stay at 140 because the division wasnt that great if you take out Hatton and cotto, Tsyzu was gone/lost, gatti was gone/lost, He would have had to stay and fight people like Harris, Witter, Torres etc and you know how the fans would kill him for it.

All Graham quotes are on skysports archive if you need them to hear how Mayweather isnt a welterweight, and hatton's interviews are still there on how he stood next to PBF and they were the same size.

Hatton never wanted the fight at 140 and thats what happened.

As far as any poster who gives any reason for a boxer being a coward, you can have a Coke and a smile and take heed to these words:

On being called scared, a bum, or coward by fans :
MARCUS RHODE: It doesn’t bother me because the simple fact is half these guys have never put the leather on, they have never been hit, never been nothing. It doesn’t bother me because all they can do is run their mouth because if they could get in the ring they would have gotten in there...
