    Tszyu wasnt intrested neither and the reality is that the Sanctioning bodies did alot in order to let Tszyu keep his titles, and if Hattons team was already addressing their need for the fight, along with a big payday for Tszyu, and Tszyu was obviously intrested, how is Mayweather going to interfere with that, seriously. The Tszyu fight WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, no matter how you look at it.

      Do you know what Tszyu's response was when he was asked about Mayweather ? He just smiled and said "too small". That doesn't sound like a man unwilling to fight Floyd to me.

      The fight wasn't going to happen, I agree, because Floyd wasn't pushing it and Kostya had a good offer on the table from a supposedly easier opponent.

        So you were bringing up Tszyu for no reason then? By your reasoning, if Hatton wanted to fight Mayweather he would have done some "manipulating" of his own by now, right? He obviously doesn't want it...

          Not for no reason, just as an example of Floyd taking the easy route for the last 4 years.

          Hatton wanted to fight him early this year but Floyd went to 147 for Judah instead, as you know. He's clearly now trying to get the fight for late next year as they're both tied up until then, so lets see what happens.

              Oh man stop defending hatton. You know damn well that hatton is afraid to fight floyd. Floyd team has offer hatton to fight floyd in november ppv showdown but of course hatton ppl said " hatton is not ready yet, hatton wants to fight two more fights in america before a ppv showdown with floyd". Blah blah blah excuses excuses excuses. The real reason hatton move back down to 140 pounds is cause he knows that the witter, castillo, maybe corrales would be a better easy fight for hatton then at 147 pounds to fight guys like mayweather, cotto, margarito, quintana, williams.

                Well, I doubt the fight is going to happen at 140 so if he wanted to really fight him he should have stuck around at 147. If he wanted to fight him, why did he turn down the offer to do it on Nov. 4th?

                  HAtton once said he will fight Floyd in 2006 Then Collazo made him think twice. Hatton made a smart move though for coming down because there's no way he will impose his will on 147.

                    Hatton is not afraid to fight Floyd...he may feel that Floyd can beat him, so maybe he wants to delay the fight for a while..get a bigger name for himself but he isnt AFRAID..thats just ******...Floyd is AFRAID of MARG tho'...

                      And MArg is afraid of Williams. MArg keep bragging about how Floyd avoided him then did the same **** when Williams became his mandatory.
