Brian Kenny: On Mayweather ducking Hatton/ Baldomir back then.

[daggum]

Mayweather never has a valid reason apart from money, The guy cant construct a live conversation without mentioning money. The thing i hate about this interview is Brian Kinney was pushing Hatton and loving hatton at the time even though Hatton himself said he wasnt ready for a Mayweather fight yet.

He tried to make Hatton look like King kong...all i hear is how retentless hatton is, How he fight for every second of every round..How he would cut off the ring, How he has better footwork than Mayweather.. blah blah blah

But i do understand why Kinney wanted Mayweather to fight Baldomir though, After beating Judah and Gatti people got on the bandwagon about how big Baldomir was etc

People alway let hate cloud their judgement sometimes which is sad..

yea judah and gatti are some great welterweights. why didn't baldomir fight margarito who was number 1 at welterweight for 5 years. oh yea he didn't want to lose he just wanted to tread water until he cashed in vs mayweather.

Floyds all good but, you don't need to box to know the game.

Like a surgeon doesn't have to have brain surgery on himself before he can perform it on others.

nah...thats a bad analogy..

More like a surgeon should have performed a few surgeries to be considered a top authority on surgery. As opposed to a surgery geek that has read all about it, and watched a bunch of it, but never actually done it..

People that have never boxed may understand certain aspects of the game, but they will never understand it as fully and comprehensively as someone that has done it also.

There's book smarts, and then there's street smarts and actual application.

So Floyd, actually has a point. He knows more about boxing than Brian Kenny, or Larry Merchant

Am pretty sure you can get Bob Arum on the phone and ask him those questions, My post is directly at Brian Kinney who was dumb enough to use all those excuse to accuse Mayweather of trying to duck Hatton and the great Baldomir.

Floyd fought Hatton at 147 because he didnt want to achieve something good at 140. PBF chose the weight and the country of the fight. Couldnt he meet hatton half way?
The fight at 140 in America. But no. PBF has all the advantages to protect his zero. Giving himself the best opportunity to keep his unbeaten record.

Floyd tried a million times to fight Hatton at 140. Everyone knows that. Hatton didnt want it until Floyd was at WW so its his fault. Why would Floyd come down to him after he tried to fight him a million times. Now Hatton has to come to him and thats what happened

Floyd is right about the Pac-EM-Raheem stuff. No one said anything about that and they even went crazy like Pac was GOD after he won. Not only that but they allowed him to have a 3rd fight and no one said anything about it and again acted like he was even a bigger GOD

it's not even close to the same thing as zab-mayweather. morales and pac already had a fight of the year candidate the first time around. fans wanted to see it again unlike mayweather fights. morales moved up to 135 to fight raheem where as pac vs morales was at 130. and the third fight is to settle the trilogy.

Does PBF want his critics to give him a break? Does PBF want his legacy to be good? If the answers are yes, he should have fought Hatton at 140! It dont matter how many times Hatton supposedly turned PBF down. PBF beating hatton at 140 is a greater achievement than at 147. Hatton always seemed dominant at 140. As soon as he stepped up he encountered problems.

[EMACULATE]

What will it be next? Mayweather want fight Margarito, Cotto or Paul Williams. Who else is racing to fight Williams, the other two are has been and a cheater. What really baffles me is if May beats PAC he still gas stuff to prove where as PAC is already an ATG. sO FIGHTING Corrales, Manfreddy, Chavez, Hernandez, Castillio, Judah, Balomir, Hatton, Oscar, Ndou
