it's not about being interested in anybody's life, FLOYD is a public figure, he's one of the best paid atheletes in history, therefore he has a lot of friends and enemies. if you're against the principle of "not getting into people's lives" then throw away your pc, your radio, your tv and your cellphone and move into an trailer in the middle of an arizona desert and that way you won't have to worry about any people's lives. under that same premise...are we suppused to like...celebrate floyd only when he's winning and throwing money into the air and spending 50 thousand dollars on a ipod but we're not supposed to talk about when he "SUPPOSEDLY HIT" a known liar and gold digger? child please, it's obvious you're all red, cuz you suck at being a poster.Comment

at 140.
Get that right, at 140. But of course, the big baby, had to have it at 47 or else he wouldn't fight at all. How in the hell was Ricky Hatton the best of the sport at 147? Everyone with a clue knew Hatton was garbage at 47 and he was completely out of his element there even against Collazo.
I never once seen any Mayweather fans acting like it was a disgrace.
All you dudes can say it, "it was the fight everyone wanted." Yea, at 140, where hordes of Mayweather fans swore up and down week in and week out that he could get to 140 with ease.
Now, speak on the Marquez fight and what wonders it did for boxing. I see you conveniently left that out just as you did the past 5 years of his ducking the welterweights best. There was Cotto and Margarito in 07 and 08. But I'm guessing you were fine with his retirement and you were fine with his "business decisions" even though, those actions were completely detrimental to the health of the sport overall as he was seen as one of its best and refused to entertain the thought of fighting either one.
Speak on it.Comment

ok ur outraged with the hatton fight, good for u. it was a good fight hatton had fought at 147 and he was interested in moving up. his fight before that one was at 147. dont hate just to hate.
marquez fight is what it is, bad fight, sure. i was more happy to see floyd back in the ring than anything. but i aint gonna defend it. just as bad as this margarito fiasco although the margs fight might be a little better because margs is the bigger man.
mark my words on this, margs will get destroyed, u can sig it, quote me, or w/e. speed kills, margs cant keep up with pac, he will get blitzed and thats all she wrote. this fight isnt competitive imo. the ppl wh think it is are severely underestimating pac and over estimating margs.Comment

First of all long before you even made a single post on this board, some of us were on here discussing barrios/freitas, castillo/corralles, valero/mosquera etc
Before you start talkng about or telling people about "fights that the casual fan isnt interested" its not about that. Out of all the fights you listed the only ones that really matter are Mares/Vic, Katsidis/Marquez and Peterson/Rios. None of those are real game changing fights, they are just potentially interesting with some title implications.
Half those guys on that list need to be retired or are gatekeeper status. Tarver has a fight, who ****in cares? Hopkins attempting to hold the LHW division hostage again DOES NOT excite me or anyone else.
I know you are really just getting into watchin all of the divisions, since before most of your posts were mostly about a couple of fighters, in particular mayweather/williams but i notice lately you have a habit of trying to seperate "casual fans" from "real fans" and i dont think you should do that, especially when guys like dempsey rollin are far from casuals.
The reality is, more than any other time i can remember signifigant fights between the divisions arent really happening that often its mostly stay busy fights and gate-keeper in between fights.
i love this sport and have for a number of years. i have watched and profiled hundreds of fighters im not going to lie to myself and say these fights are "exciting" for the most part they arentComment

Based on what? His terrible showing in his only other welterweight fight? Interested in moving up? Based on what? What other guys has he fought at 147 after Floyd? Seeing as you're saying he was interested in moving up,
why hasn't he had any more fights there?
Oh yea. He went chasing the money. Because quite frankly, he was so "interested in moving up" as you say, that after fighting Collazo,
he fought two more fights at 140 before facing Floyd at 147.
Now why would someone who is interested in moving up, have a fight in a higher weight class,
and then suddenly have two more fights at his original weight class?
That doesn't appear to show interest to me. Even more so when looking back and seeing that since he fought Floyd,
hes had 3 fights back at 140.
So again I ask, how was this fight between Hatton and Floyd at 147, good for the sake of the sport?
And again I ask, how was Floyds refusal to fight Cotto and Margarito good for the sake of boxing, especially when Floyd was seen as the premier fighter in the world?Comment

dude, so tell me this, why the hell should floyd, the ww champoin at the time, move down and face hatton??? especially after he beat dlh at jmw?? why should he have moved down for hatton when he was clearly the man to beat? u wanna see it from one view, because ur a hatton fan. but there was totally nothing wrong with hatton moving up to 147. its easier to move up than it is to move down and when u hold all the chips thats all that matters. guess hatton was no manny pac or roberto duran. he was a one trick pony, him being in a higher weight class had nothing to do with him losing that was only his second weight class...even floyd moved up thru weight classes to get better fights but hatton must be allowed to sit on his ass and wait for the top fighters to come to him??? since when did that ever happen in boxing? and the fight was good for boxing, everyone wanted to see it, hatton lost because he was not good enough, not because he moved up one class. thats an excuse.Comment

Man I been watching boxing since I was 5., Mayweather and Williams werent boxing that at that time. Man the threads I make that arent about Williams opr Floyd get 6 responses. You knwo how this site works.
Point is. There are boxing fights coming up that i'll damn sure be watching. Hell starting tomorrow. Just because Pac vs. Floyd dint happen doesnt mean boxing is going down the drain. Because contrary to what you think I watched boxing before both of them were relevant. I remeber when Pac had about 10 guys pulling for him on this site Chups, Kadyo, Joms,Miron, etc..
Ward vs. Dirrell isnt a great fight? Froch vs. Abe? Hasegawa vs. Moreno? Bradley vs. Alexander?
The up and comers of the 160 Pound division doesnt get you excited? Guerrero, Korobov, Pirog, Golovkin, JCCJr, N'Jikam, Lemeuix?
To each his own then.Comment

this retroactive critcism is so boring at this point, debunking the same point over and over. its almost as if you guys werent even around when the hype and the buildup to this fight was happening. fighting mayweather at 147 isnt fighting some guy who rehydrates to 160 or 155, mayweather came in at basically 148, hatton came in at the weight he normally does and cut even less weight to do so, the fight was very even, even at 147, hatton had less rehydration and fought a guy who had 20 plus fights at 130 regardless.
i remember how everyone had "no excuses" about weight because this actually was easier on hatton in this instance.
nobody was *****ing about the 147 weight limit when this fight happened, nobody.Comment
