Comments Thread For: Video: Floyd Mayweather Released After Being Arrested

[Vasyl’s dad]

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.

Why not be a two division champion at the same time? He could have been the lineal champion at welterweight and jr. welterweight, at the same time. That was more than enough reason to make it at 140 and would have looked spectacular on his resume. And if you don't see anything wrong with Hatton going up to 147 where he looked like ****, then its quite obvious you're stanning. Hatton in many peoples eyes lost to Luis Collazo. And that earned him a title shot at 147? FOH. It was a "business decision" and nothing more. and no, everyone didn't want to see it at 147. Most boxing fans wanted to see it at 140. I agree Hatton lost because he wasn't good enough and I never made the excuse that he lost because he was at 147. You're too simple to understand why the point was even brought up. But I'll take my time and explain it so its clear as day.

Floyd made Hatton move up so that Floyd could have even more advantages seeing as how Ricky looked like pure ass at 147. Floyd made Hatton move up to 147 because he knew Ricky would be even slower at the higher weight.

You keep saying, "it was good for boxing", but can't explain how.

Funny how that works eh?

Just the same as you keep avoiding talking about how Floyd not fighting Cotto and Margarito was good for boxing as well.

So again, I'll ask you, why was this fight good for boxing? You're going to have to delve a bit deeper than, "everyone wanted to see it".

[Vasyl’s dad]

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.

Yea, because you always tell the truth.



Anyone who followed boxing knew Hatton was **** at 147.

Now go cry about how you're going to put me on ignore.

dude, ur obviously a butt hurt hatton fan. but how about this. before srl fought marvin hagler, how many times had he fought at 160?? how long was he on hiatus? was that fight good for boxing??? did everyone complain and say marvin should have come down in weight??? ur blaming floyd fo something that makes no sense. marvin hagler never left middle weight, not even for leonard, no one blames him. ur just nitpicking, let it go. it was a good fight.

[joelab75]

lmao. and supposedly margarito is a top 5 jww. clottey was a tune up. margs isnt. ur defending something that doesnt need to be defended. manny is wrong sometimes. that whole fight is wrong, whats there to hate about. im not in the minority who agree on that, so how am i the hater?

im not sure what is really wrong with Manny fighting Margarito. those old school great boxers fought the same opponents like 3, 4, 5 times but nobody complain. haters would say Manny didnt defend his title long enough or more than enough to become a great boxer. defending a title 15,16, 17 times etc etc is not as good as fighting bigger guys in different divisions.

would you really want to see Manny defending his WBO welterweight title against WBO rated #1 Kell Brook ,#2 Mike Jones, #3 Saul Alvarez, #4 Vitaliy Demyanenko ,#5 Joshua Clottey? Manny wouldnt gain anything fighting those guys.

[JBell11]

Floyd! Floyd did you check hook her???
Floyd did you pull counter?

Just joking ...

The fact that you compared Hagler and Leonard to Floyd and Ricky ****ing Hatton shows you're a tool.

and I'm hardly a Hatton fan if I'm even a fan of his at all.


You just can't explain why it was a good fight for the sport just as you can't explain why Floyd not fighting Cotto or Margarito was good for the sport.


But you're trying to say Manny vs Tony is somehow not good.

But again,

can't explain why.

[spoonwars]

damn, mayweather will go to any lengths to avoid a fight with pac in 2011. we'll see more news on something more screwed up than the current events.

im showing u why ur examples make no sense. ur nitpicking for no reason. u make some dumb arguments so jsut because hatton and mayweather arent as great means that mayweather should have moved down?

i cant argue with fools. u want an explanation as to why it was good for boxing?? ppl were talking about it, it was everywhere, ppl wanted to see it, we had two undefeated fighhters fighting each other, it created intrigue and hattons fanclub bought something to the us that hadnt been there b4. not to mention the 24/7 series. it was a good fight no matter how hard u try to discredit it.

and no matter what i say i realize u'll try to use nonsensical arguments to refute, so im not gonna waste my time. if u think it was a bad fight cool, but most dont agree.

[whirlwind]

magarito is a tune up??? then what was clottey?? how many tune ups do u see for belts at catchweights??? come on, im a hater but yet most of the boxing world is panning this fight??? riiiite.

There are really no place to put your ******ity. Tell me which one Pac really should fight at 147? his current best weight. Pac already fought Cotto who beat Mosley, Floyd the best choice who beat Mosley went to vacation, he already fought Clottey, so the next logical choice is Margo. Dont tell me about no name fighters moving up just to fight Pac, Pac moving down fighting no name or Pac moving up at 154. Pac is testing the water fighting Margo at 150.

Boxingscene was going wild during that time too, people did want to see it, although most knew the outcome
