PBF wont get credit for the Hatton, JMM, SSM wins...

[Vito Corleone]

It shows PBF has more fans than people believe. He has gotten credit for beating Hatton. But it is easy for his critics to discredit PBF for those wins, because he gave ammunition for it.

But he wont get more credit for beating Hatton than Pac did.

I agree that Floyd has more fans than his detractors try to say... but what do fans have to do with the P4P rankings? Aren't those voted on by the boxing writers?

all this hatton was a 140 fighter is bull****..hatton moved up 1 damn division...147 was floyds 4th division...lame ass excuse

[Weebler I]

so hatton gets no credit for any of his wins in england then right??since those fighters were fighting away from home with a crooked ref that allowed hatton to wrestle all damn night..and by your logic if floyd gets no credit for the shane fight..hatton getsno credit for his best with the tzu fight

we're discussing Floyd, no?

Ignoring Hatton for a second, how can you give credit to Floyd for beating Shane when the 38 (39?) version almost KO'd him inside 2? and don't get me started on JMM.

Castillo, Judah, Corley, Corrales, De La Hoya etc these are the wins Floyd deserves credit for, after the De La Hoya fight he became risk-averse and started loading the dice in his favour outside the ring to minimise the threat he faced inside it.

I know you don't like to hear it but if Shane didn't gas at the end of the 2nd Mayweather was getting KO'd, he was in deep trouble and was fortunate Mosley's old body had nothing left to give in the 3rd. Now, a question, do you think a younger version of Mosley would've gassed at the end of R.2? if not, then you'd have to say Mayweather was lucky to have fought a very post-prime Mosley.

mosley didnt gas..floyd just stepped his game up..nazzim even said it.."shanes gonna pop floyd in the mouth and floyds gonna grow a tail and turn into a dragon and start spitting fireballs"..and thats what happened

lol ok Larry.

Anyway, my view is that the young PBF was a great technical fighter who took risks and fought fair and is worthy of credit, the older 'Money' Mayweather who avoided nearly all risks and did everything in his power to protect the eg0 before he entered the ring, deserves little.

[hugh grant]

uhhh because Hatton was a 140lb fighter, fighting away from home in Floyd's back yard with a crooked yank ref.

Floyd deserves and gets no credit for any of those three wins, the young hungry Floyd was the one who took risks and didn't have the cards all stacked in his favour. The older, spoilt loud-mouth Mayweather deserves nothing but a kick up the ass for being a coward.

Yes i agree PBF deserves credit for his earlier career. THats how he made a name for himself. But once he made the name, that is when he wanted less risks.
He dont think he has to do anything to keep his name out there. He can make it easier for himself if he likes (by asking small fighters to step up with home advantage and words with bias refs) but dont shouldnt insult people intelligence by expecting people not to see through it.
