Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. on Martinez, Hatton's Suicidal Thoughts

[RespekonMyName]

I'm tired of reading how everyone should feel sorry for Hatton, or that he had 'limited' boxing skills. Yes, he got brutally knocked out in what would become his last ever fight, but the man had a very good career and only lost to the two greatest fighters of the modern era, both future hall of famers, and a case could be made for BOTH to be considered the greatest fighter of all time.
Hatton was more outclassed by Floyd than Pacquiao. Hatton was a different fighter against Floyd, he had the confidence to beat him, he had his regular team and trainer, he still had good punch resistance, hell, if Cortez had let Ricky fight Floyd on the inside instead of persistantely breaking them up every time Hatton got within his reach (not to mention unfairly docking a point) the fight could have gone the distance. Against Pacquiao he was a different fighter- Extremely incompetent trainer, confidence had gone, punch resistance had gone (see first two knockdowns- he used to walk through those shots), and his style had been compromised due to trying to change bad habits after the floyd fight. He came out himself after the fight and said he knew he wasn't in the right frame of mind to fight Pac, and he'd had a terrible training camp, so just went all-out to hit him with a big shot early.

Hatton should be applauded for a great career, great fights, and the man never ducked anybody. A true warrior, and genuine nice guy.

As for Floyd v Martinez..... Sorry, I'm still not convinced by Martinez, and the outcome would be similar to Floyd v Oscar- Floyd will lean back and let Martinez come to him, letting the shots hit thin air, while peppering Martinez on the counter, then after Floyd wins by decision, everyone will think Martinez was robbed because he had him against the ropes frequently. Martinez going up in weight to fight the winner of the super six tournament- that makes more sense.

I don't think you can make a case for either Floyd or Manny being the greatest of all time. Not even close.

I wish the mayweathers should stop putting Sergio on a pedestal as well. if Floyd isnt going to fight Sergio, who is he going to fight then? If he isnt going to challenge himself he might as well retire now.
If the Barkers of this world can challenge Sergio, why cant Floyd? WHat is he waiting for?

For Pac you can, for floyd you cant. Pacs already done things no one has ever done, so you can make a case and have a discussion about it, and boxing historians have made a case. And then you have the other side for people making a case why Pac isnt the GOAT.

Both Martinez and Pacquiao will knockout Floyd the reason why he will not fight them..

sure they will. martinez has the balls to fight mayweather but pacquiao does'nt.

I feel really sorry for Mayweather family that they can't sort out their differences.

Don't expect El FRAUD, AKA Elbow Man, to fight Serg, Pac;
or any fighter that presents a risk to him losing the PRECIOUS 0!!!

Or haven't U ***** CHUMPS noticed???

[spyvsspy]

Jump up 2 weight classes?

Huh???

Floyd won a belt St 154 5 years ago.

But he can't fight Martinez there at 154 now???


He's just afraid to lose is all


Sad.

Floyd one of the most talented boxers in history, also

one of the most underachieving with his

reluctance to fight prime top guys.

Floyd was in the line when they were handing out skill but missed the line when they were handing out the balls.

FRAUD is too SMART, to risk that Precious 0, against Pac or Serg...
Boy's BRAND is in the Toilet, and either of these Cat's would pull the CHAIN!!!

SAVING that pretty ASS, seems to be FRAUD's PRIORITY!!!
