Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Ricky Hatton

[Knicksman20]

Okay, we got off on the wrong foot here, shall we make peace? I just get sick of seeing the same **** posted over and over (not necessarily by you), you know what I mean?

It'd be nice to read a few different opinions for a change. And I'm no Hatton fan - he's a fouling Paler.

It's cool & I hear what you're saying about others posts though. I see it all of the time & it gets annoying.

Yeah, I shouldn't have got so pissy though, but sometimes I just get sick of reading bull**** 24/7, no matter who's side it falls down on.

PBF by TKO

Hatton by brutal bodyshot KO at 140, or by suffocation at 147.

suffocation at 147 ok

Boxing fans are like **********s, they jump from one man to the next. And the word ducking gets taped to their mouths.

Billy Graham quotes:

"I'm a big Mayweather fan," 'the Preacher' added. "I think he is fantastic, a wicked talent. The Mayweather fight is the one me and Ricky have talked about for years. We knew he'd come, we knew we'd fight him at some point and I've been watching Mayweather very closely for exactly that reason. But this is the biggest fight of Mayweather's career, too, because he's not had a super fight in a long time, if ever."


"Actually, I think it could be one of the easiest fights for me," he said. "But let everyone build Floyd up - more kudos for us when he beat him. Everyone says the one fighter to give him trouble was Castillo (in the first of their two fights) but Castillo made every mistake a pressure fighter shouldn't make. He threw punches to arms and elbow, there was no thought to go along with his pressure, he was committing himself first. I remember watching the fight and thinking Ricky wouldn't make any of the types of mistakes Castillo was making.

"And people who say Ricky is just and English Gatti - and look what Mayweather did to Gatti (in June) are dead wrong. I knew Gatti had no chance. He didn't have a plan at all, he was even asking Ricky for advice on the day of the actual fight!

"Ricky is bigger, stronger, faster, younger, a much bigger puncher and an all-round more talented fighter than Gatti. As much as I love Gatti, he never had a chance with his style against Mayweather.

"But trust me. Take cuts away and Ricky beats Mayweather seven nights a week."

Graham admits here they were talking about this fights for year. People forget BOTH hattan and Graham were saying they were "not ready yet" for Floyd and it took them forever before they were finally ready. So long in fact that Floyd was done at 140, went to 147 became lineal and then went to 154 beat DLH while hatton was still fighting overmatched bums at 140 and finally they met in the middle at 147. Hatton had the opportunity to defend his lineal title against floyd after the Gatti fight but they "Werent ready" so floyd moved on.

But for some people Floyd was supposed to move from 154 to 140 because hatton was now finally ready even though the fight would have been hugely promotable when they were both at 140.

Shame this fight never happened. Hatton would have MURDERED him!

this ^^^^^^

Floyd is supposed to wait until people are ready and then come back from 2 weight classes year after so people like Weebler are happy.

It's like people bashing floyd for taking an old grandpa in Mosley when Mosley was initially finding excuses with his teeths.
