    Another thing, what happens when you lose. You lose a title, lose your ranking ad next fight will mean less money. Why should you get credit at all for losing

        He gets credit for knocking Hatton out. Anyone that doesn't give Floyd credit for knocking Hatton out doesn't know what they're talking about. But that doesn't mean doing the same thing at 140 is necessary.

          Cotto deserves a rematch by quitting against Margarito??
          But Hatton doesn't deserve a rematch at JR WW a division where is he top dog and has ring title.

            well you certainly make it sound like Mayweather's cherry picking, which is about the most laughable thing a Roy Jones fan could say

            Roy Jones Jr. pound for pound #1 cherry picker

            I think only Calzaghe has Roy beat in that department

              Gee...Holyfield was given credit and gained respect for losing to Rid**** Bowe the first time. Except Holyfield fought everybody and Mayweather fought nobody at welter save Judah and Baldomir. Hatton doesn't count.

                  WRONG

                  Holyfield won one of the fights and the third fight has something wrong with him.

                    No he didn't. He was heavyweight champ and Bowe was #1 contender, so it's not like Holyfield went out and chose him. He had to fight Bowe sooner or later so he did and he lost. He got respect for winning THE REMATCH not losing the first time.

                      Ok, I think one of the root problems is that people don't give Floyd credit for the Hatton win, now that I see more peoples comments.

                      How the hell does Floyd not get credit for that win? That was one of his best wins, considering the fashion in which he won. But because he deserves all the credit in the world for that win, seeing the fight again is USELESS.
