    Mosley had been past prime for years before he fought Mayweather or even Margarito.

      Mosley? I'm not sure but he has looked awful since the Mayweather fight. He lost all that confidence to come forward like he used to.

      But Hatton is definately a fighter Mayweather ruined.

        He still looked good in the Margarito fight.

          so true... wifebeater doesn't beat anyone into submission, he plays tag and gets a decision.

          even with hatton, it was pac that sent hatton into ******* addiction

            maybe he messes them up mentally when they take their 0?

            but that applies to almost everyone. most fighters get affected when they lose their 0.


            hatton didn't really take much of a beating in the pac fight either.

            i mean , yeah he got dropped and koed but it wasn't a sustained long beating.


            i think pac loss was just humiliating to ricky. maybe that's what screwed him up.

            the loss to floyd might have but even hatton must've known he probably wasn't gonna beat floyd.

            but i honestly think ricky came into the fight thinking "pac is too small for me" and thought he was gonna overpower pac.

            to be dispatched so quickly must hurt the ego a lot.

              i have to disagree; He looked great in the Margs fight. Can yu give more to support what you saying?

                He looked like crap vs Mayorga.

                Mosely can still look ok vs certain styles.

                You must think Morales is still the same because of the Maidana fight.

                  41-0-25 knockouts. Most of his fights ended with knockouts. If Mayweather can't knock people out now because he injured his right hand, I can't knock him for that. If he can't knock people out because he's not taking risks with a 41-0 record, I can't knock him for that either. Can't do nothing but respect Mayweather. He can win however he wants.

                    the prime fighters that floyd fought were not the same after...they became better fighters. guys like corrales, castillo, hernandez and chavez. hernandez and chavez actually earned their first title after they were beaten by floyd.

                      more than half of those ko's (13) was in his 1st 17 fights when he was fighting less than stellar opposition.

                      he's only had 12 ko/tko's the last 13 years.
