Comments Thread For: Hatton Reacts To Kellerman: Mayweather on Top, Not Pacquiao

[chirorickyp]

This is nonsense coming from someone who doesn't know much about boxing.

1. Floyd dictated the pace of the fight, and made Manny fight his way instead of the way he wanted to. It's called ring generalship. Floyd landed more and controlled basically the entire fight, that alone wins him the fight, even without Manny hitting him with many clean shots.

2. I do not see where you are getting that bradley is shot. At what point was he shot? After the provo fight? After he clearly beat Marquez? When vargas landed 1 (ONE) good punch and has since acted like the fight was close? When he was the first to stop Rios?

3. Newsflash, Bradley has never had a granite chin. Bradley has been knocked down many times in his career and hurt as well. He just has more heart than any fighter of this modern era to fight no matter what. The man doesn't have quit in his vocabulary. Manny knocked him down twice. Bradley also buzzed Manny. It's called boxing, and it happens to every single fighter that has been, or ever will be. Bradley was not ever in trouble of being stopped in the fight. He looked just fine and without the knockdowns, I had several swing rds and a very close fight.

Please don't make ****** and ignorant statements without knowing what you are talking about.

To not acknowledge that Mayweather had a low connect percentage says it all about you.

You have this problem of jumping to conclusions. By the way I didn't mention anything specific about the Pacquiao Bradley fight yet you respond as if I did. WTF?

Bradley is helluva tough boxer and he's had good career. Good thing he fought Manny 3 times. I think Bradley's comments after the 3rd fight speak for itself. But then again you think differently and you know more than him, so therefore you might as well call him ignorant as well even though he was the guy that was in the ring.

You also are unable to have friendly debate instead you use arrogance and name calling as a form of communication, which is really ignorance in disguise.
This interaction is not about winning and losing however,he who verbally attacks loses.
You are not a happy guy. You make yourself lose in a no lose situation and your points get lost within your insults because of your immaturity.

Wise up.

Like others have said, and I have replied...you KNOW or SHOULD KNOW that's how Floyd fights. It's not in his job description to please you with a back and forth fight. This is why it's called boxing and not "fighting". The guy has seen enough boxers with brain issues that he's smart enough to be able to now enjoy his life, money, and most importantly...health.

Tune in to provo vs molina if you want to see tau protein being distributed, and let the real pure boxers be admired.

Go watch mmgay if you want to see a bloodsport.

Lewis, Leonard, Hagler, Holyfield, Foreman, Delahoya, Duran, Chavez, Jones Jr, Micheal Spinks, and on and on and on have no brain issues.

The sweet science also involves offence, not 90%ring generalship.

Go watch the Karate Kid sequels or Billy Blanks point sparing, or the Tae Kwon Do championships.

Go watch some Chris Byrd highlights angry boy.

how do you toy with a guy when he's hitting you with the much cleaner punches and you are struggling to connect cleanly? take floyd and pac out of the equation. would you ever say that about another fight if that same scenario happened(which it did as proven by video evidence)

This whole post is simply not true. Stop trying to delude yourself. Even when you biasedly counted the punches in your post fight review you had Floyd landing more total punches. Too bad many of you Pac Tards don't know what a clean blow is. Floyd outlanded Manny in 9 out of 12 rounds. Some rounds were very close but Floyd won.

The funny thing is Floyd fans have to keep reminding everyone how good Floyd is. We all know he is very talented more than Manny, no doubt. This was always a given.
Their fight last year was really just 2 HUGE names fighting each other, nothing more nothing less.

BUT Manny will ALWAYS be fondly remembered. His wars with JMM, MAB, and Morales- that's Fab4 status IMO. Manny's fights since 2001 (minus a few choice fights) you can watch repeatedly. Its funny also, I haven't seen anyone mention Manny will be remembered as FOTD, not Floyd. Haha, vacation doe!!

#09 – Floyd Mayweather (49-0)

Floyd Mayweather is a divisive figure, to put it lightly. For his legion of devoted fans, he is nothing less than the greatest fighter in history and, presumably, the greatest welterweight, too. For those that seek to undermine him -- due, in many cases, to personal disdain for one of boxing’s more unpleasant characters -- he belongs nowhere near the top ten welterweights in history. This being the case, I’ve endeavored to stay away, as far as it is possible in this entry, from opinion. I’ll deal in fact.

Floyd Mayweather defeated more ranked welterweight contenders than Thomas Hearns (rankings by Ring/TBRB). He defeated more top five contenders than almost anyone outside the top ten, aside from the likes of Jackie Fields – but Fields also lost to a handful of welterweights. Mayweather was unbeaten.

Mayweather defeated more welterweight lineal champions than Barney Ross. Working by the scorecards of the judges he was, for the most part, in non-competitive fights at the weight. He made a past-prime Manny Pacquiao, his #1 contender at the weight, look like a journeyman. He defeated more #1 ranked fighters (champions or top rated contenders) than all but the most storied of fighters. He boxed only three unranked men at the weight, two of whom were soft touches (Sharmba Mitchell, his first fight at the weight, and Andre Berto) and Ricky Hatton, the light-welterweight champion of the world and universally recognized pound-for-pounder, who he knocked out.

He was one of the few men to become a two-time lineal world-welterweight champion and the only man who ever did it without losing a fight, coming out of retirement to do what Barbados Joe Walcott and Benny Leonard both failed to do. During his welterweight career, moments of true danger were extremely rare; he was run close just once, in the first fight with Marcos Rene Maidana, a narrow victory he rendered wide in the rematch.

What Mayweather didn’t do was beat everyone who was available. He probably should have taken on Antonio Margarito, and Paul Williams was ranked very near the top when he was active in the division. That said, fighters who beat everyone available are close to non-existent. But if it pleases, you can zip on down to the entry on Henry Armstrong to read about a worse offender.

Nor did Mayweather show either great longevity (at the weight) or have the opportunity to beat another great welterweight, outside of Manny Pacquiao, who he had a chance to meet in his prime and failed to do so (for whatever reason). This is why Mayweather is not #1, nor anywhere near it. The top ten is well within his range however, which I make somewhere between fourteen and eight.

Outside of the ring he was an arrogant, loudmouthed, woman-beating bully bereft of class. Inside the ring he was a genius.

Other Top Fifty Welterweights Defeated: Shane Mosley (#29), Manny Pacquiao (#22).

LOL even when these guys try to keep their personal opinions out of the equation they just can't! Sugar Ray Robinson had many of the qualities Mayweather has but they don't mention it. I've never seen an athlete make people so emotional in my life.

Mayweather is the better boxer, Pac is the better fighter. Mayweather will make you miss, Pac will hurt you. Mayweather will do what it takes to guarentee a decision in spite of the fans, Pac will go for the gold and the fans get there monies worth. Mayweather buys overpriced cars buys ***ellery and buys food and builds shelter for his people.
Some people like the Mayweather persona some people admire the Pacquiao dogma in life. I guess that's about it.

Here we go with the spin cycle. Lol. They were in a ring where their job was to box/fight and Floyd won. Just quit.

Do you honestly think Floyd and Manny's fight last year was some benchmark for their careers? Haha.

[artengtae]

lol mayyw no. 1 according to hatton?

lol how can mayweather be no.1 when he took loads of illegal IV liquid to mask whatever PED he was using all these years. Right in his own home before the Pacquiao fight my gosh. Boxing media and are funny, they so easily chose to look the other way for the sake of entertainment. Lance Armstrong pales by comparison. Hatton, time to move on, you're a millionaire now.

there is no comparison to speak about coz maywweather duped people hundereds of million dollars. return those money then fight on a level playing field, outside of Vegas, use WADA not USDA for testing then game.

nothing less. anything less than that, all mayweather scores and wins are invalid. Ph, and apologize to all the boxers he cheated, forget the spectators, just the boxers as they;re the one who risked everything.

From this Thread it seems like Mayweather fans just started watching boxing yesterday, my stomach hurts so much from laughing..lmao

[HarvardBlue]

I don't need Kellerman or even Hatton to tell me Mayweather is a better fighter than Pacquioa. I have eyes.
