    Its tough to say he had his number, they have only had one fight.
    Zoo was 35 years old, and was clearly not himself.

      but the fact that ricky was calling out kostya since 2002 just makes me confident he knew all along he wud beat him
      cmon a wbu prospect/challenger dont go calling the highly regarded p4p jnr welterwieght king for no reason does he , and knowing the way ricky is that he dont bad mouth ppl etc should also rub of on others

        And Tszyu was forced to quit on his stool like a little *****.

        And the battering he took made him enter Australian Come Dancing.

          The reason Floyd moved up is because Hatton said he wouldnt be ready until early 2006.
          Floyd offered to fight Ricky in Manchester, and Ricky turned it down.
          Then, Floyd recently called out Hatton again, but now Ricky wont be ready until 2007.
          So Floyd had a nothing fight with Mitchell and fought Judah about the same as he could have fought Hatton. Why did he not take an easy defence at 140 instead of Mitchell and meet Hatton earlier this year as suggested?

          The Manchester fight was offered when Hatton was working towards Tszyu. Why would he take the fight then?

          The most recent offer was at 147 where Hatton clearly isn't comfortable yet. Make the fight at 140 and I'm sure he'd jump at it.

                Do you not remember that Zab Judah was the undisputed welterweight champ and many were picking him to not only beat, but KO Floyd.
                Then the Baldomir fight happened, and Floyd called out Hatton again before he accepted the Judah fight, but Hatton declined.
                Floyd is about to become linear champ at 147, why would he fight Hatton at 140 when he has Mosley and DlH on the horizion??

                Youve pointed out 4 times where Floyd offered Ricky a fight and Ricky declined, yet you still blame Floyd for the fight not happening.

                  Zoo showed he wasnt a true champion anymore that night.
                  No reason to quit on his stool, he just didnt want it any more.
                  I was very dissapointed.

                    Parochial ill-thought nonsense.

                    So the paler had a bad night... Hell, is Floyd fighting Shamba ****ing Mitchell (actually his real middlename) a feat to be admired?

                    We need less of this "yo, they need to come to the States to prove they can fight, LMAO, owned!" bull**** on here.

                      What about Hatton fighting Juan Urango????

                      And Floyd dominated Mitchell, Hatton had serious trouble with Collazo.
