      The pillow hand Floyd's KO ratio is just as good as Margy. Yes Margy hits harder at 147 then Floyd but I don't see Margy having the power to stop Baldy.

      Having a big punch doesn't make you a great fighters, I can name 20 heavyweight bums that have power to knock most people out!

              Mayweather fighting DLH wont get him any closer to being an all time great. DLH is still good and i expect him to beat Mayweather but if Mayweather does cause an upset in my eyes wont make me want to kiss Mayweathers feet. DLH is a name but he is past his best.
              Joe Calzaghe beat Eubank and people say Eubank was past his best when Joe beat him. Eubank was closer to his best than DLH is to his own prime. People dismiss Joes victory over Eubank as if the fight didnt exist. They still talk about how Joe Calzaghe would have done against Eubank, Benn or Collins?
              Mayweather has got to stop copying RJJ and going up winning versions of belts but not beating the best guy in each weights.
              Or beating weak champions holding the belts. Hatton has achieved as much as PBF. He has a better opponent on his CV. PBF is recognised as P4p the best, but people are not fooled by his record. Castillo gave him his hardest fight, and he dont want to fight Hatton because he is a P4p as well.

                Maybe in 10 years the IBO will also be considered a real belt! Damn I can see 10 different belts in 50 years.

                  so the belt makes the fighter ?
                  No one cares about the WBO paper title that Tony won.

                    Best I ever saw Eubank was in the fight with Denys Cronin. I think if anything that was his peak. That or the Wharton fight - the only time he actually went out to shut his critics up, and only time he did his weight right (due to being monitored by the BBBC).
