Mayweather's career plan: Floy is going to do a Roy

[Guest]

I think Hattons style makes it difficult for anyone to fight him even Mayweather but I think Mayweather is to smart and to fast for him. Cotto maybe has a punchers chance but I think that Cotto is the right speed for Hatton. Hatton will overwhelm him, punish him and then KO him.

I also didnt believe in Hatton, and the Kostya fight didnt change my mind. Believe it or not the Mausa fight did. It showed me he had power to go along with his non stop pressure and that is a dangerous combination. I mean I didnt think he would KO Carlos and he surprised me and did. To me thats huge cause Mausa has a cinder block for a head.

Yeah, that impressed me too (I like the fact that he feinted with the right before doing it, too... the guy's got underrated skills). I've never really enjoyed watching him because it's like watching a mugging it's so one-sided and he usually maims people after he's fought them. But his ability to carry that up to world level has made me begin to change my mind.

What about if you're both at the same time? I like the guy, but there's no way I'd say his career was great when his "career defining" moment came against John Ruiz.

When he beat Ruiz he was the new Ray Robinson. When he lost, "he was never great." That type of stuff makes me sick to my stomach.

hmm

Roy's career was great, but not just because of John Ruiz. It's also because of the other notable pros on his resume which includes a who's who list of current and former champs. The main reason why he is a great is because of the way he beat people. Masterclass.

What about "he could have been great, but never fully achieved it in the ring?"

A kind of halfway house between the two viewpoints?

He did win titles from 160-to heavy. That sound like a great career to me. Its all opinions Anorak...
