      All against bums rexy and you know it not Floyd’s fault but there is a reason floyd fought him and drained him. He wouldn’t dare fight him now cause he knows he would get lit up. Same reason he didn’t fight sexy Sergio at 154 Pwill and others.

        Indeed...the fact he moved back down says it all. Either way, he was a crude fighter and lacked the skill set to compete with the real elites. His fight vs tszyu looked more like a greco roman wrestling match.

          Yea, fair enough...depends on how we define “elite”, I suppose.

              For enforcing the rules of boxing? GTFOH!

              Hatton was undefeated with a good resume but Taylor made for Floyd. 7 out of 10.

                It was a good win at the time but kind of got watered down when Pacquiao absolutely obliterated Hatton a bit later.

                Hatton at his best was an ugly fighter so it was nice that the pure boxer check hooked him.
