Floyd's Resume

[Weebler I]

That's BS. Don't rewrite history. Hatton didn't want to fight Floyd after the Gatti fight.

Hatton would've taken that fight in Manchester all day long, what Floyd wanted was for Hatton, the champ in the division to fight on Floyd's terms in the US.

"I'm not going to England to fight Ricky Hatton. Every night I sit home and click on HBO and watch. The superfights are only a few rounds. We have a lot of fights out there. We have a couple more fights at 140."

Then he says:

What I said on the Tszyu-Hatton fight is that I would make more money fighting Hatton, but as far as legendary history I would prefer to fight Kostya Tszyu because he beat so many top guys.

Then he says:

Would it hurt your legacy not to go over there to fight Hatton?

MAYWEATHER: At the end of the day, it doesn't matter to me. It's not about legacy. I'm not worried about that. It's all about the money.

Watch him whinge about having to go the whole way to Atlantic City to fight Gatti who was the legit PPV draw at the time:

But I've been thinking about this whole time;they call this a mega fight and I'm fighting this guy in Atlantic City. I don't have a problem because I'll do anything. We should have this on neutral ground. When Duran and Hagler fought they fought on neutral ground. When Holyfield and Lennox Lewis fought they fought on neutral ground. When Trinidad and de la Hoya fought they fought on neutral ground. They always try this slick to try to put me in a no-win situation

he always had to have it all his own way, he would never have fought Hatton if Hatton didn't decide to go to the US (to ultimately get jobbed by Joe).

Only a typical floyd fan ignores facts on how floyd operates,

Floyd always finds away to make the fight in favor of him.

I'll just give two mexicans as example, he made marquez jump two weight classes, asked for two lbs catchweight against ginger.

Floyd plays in his opponents mind, just like what weebler said, hatton fought under floyds terms.

Floyd fanboys tend to ignore it that never in floyds fights you see it as a fair 50/50.
Sad but true, if he checks an opponent that a fight could be 50/50, he blatantly ducks it!

Remember your original post said Floyd wanted no parts of Hatton at 140. That statement is not true. You can talk about what he would've done if Floyd came to the UK but that's just your opinion. Tszyu was the champ in the division until Hatton beat him. Where did they fight? That's right, they fought on Hatton's turf in the UK. Hatton fights Castillo a year later in Vegas but he couldn't fight Floyd there. That was just a convenient excuse from Hatton and his camp. Hatton could've had the fight at 140 in the US instead of ultimately fighting at 147 in the US.

Hatton got jobbed by a check hook by the way

His resume is very impressive however you look at it.

Garbage resume. I can't remember any fight that I've seen Fraud in that I thought he was going to legitimately lose. We just hype up his overmatched opponent trying to think we'll see something good but, never we do. It's not even that his opponents are all that bad, just the way he makes them fight on his terms make them worse or removes any chance they did have to win. Hatton was RUBBISH at 147lbs(just ask Collazo). Yet he still went up to 147lbs because the money was there and Fraud wasn't going to go to Hatton's effective weight. I can go on and on. Yeah you can go on and on with Pac, but Pac still has better legit wins at the lower weights than Fraud does in his entire career...
