Hatton: PBF fights like a woman and is boring!

Answer the question. Why couldn't he wait a few months to make a fight that could do endless good for his legacy instead of going for a fighter who'd lost 2 of his last 3 fights against meaningful opposition? Actually, only one of those was anything approaching meaningful. The WW division was weak as hell when Floyd moved up.
And yes, Hatton, Cotto, Harris, Witter and Tszyu are better fights than Judah, Baldomir and Mitchell. All Tsyzu had said at that point was that he wouldn't fight again in 2005. Plus you'd get to see Floyd perform at his optimum weight so there could be no excuses.Last edited by Cletus Funk; 11-12-2006, 03:12 PM.Comment

The Judah fight would have been massive, but that was taken away from Floyd because of circimstances out of his control.Answer the question.

Hatton and Cotto didnt want to fight Floyd, Harris was busy attempting to recover from his knockout loss to MAUSSA, Witter was busy doing nothing, besides beating bums in his hometown and Tszyu was not fighting again.
I would have liked to see Floyd fight Hatton or COtto at 140, but he exercised all of his options at 140 and came up with nothing.Comment

1. Floyd wouldn't pot shot at 140
2. Even if he did he'd still whoop that ass
3. Floyd would give Hatton a painful boxing lesson, cuz Hatton can't hurt Floyd.Comment

when Floyd offered the fight for autumn 2005, Hatton said he'd be ready to fight in early 2006. Do you keep missing that? How do you interpret that as refusing to fight?
Where do you get that Tszyu wasn't fighting again? It isn't known now and it certainly wasn't back then.
Did most fans not have 140 as the best division in boxing this time last year? Is it not possible for Floyd to look further than 6 months ahead?
Your excuses are lame at best.
