Who do Mayweather's critics expect him to fight?

[DiegoFuego]

I was a big Hatton fan after he manned up, fought Tszyu, and beat him, but since then he's done nothing. His fans make me despise him because they refuse to see what the Hitman is insinuating. HE DOESN'T WANT TO FIGHT FLOYD. If you're not ready to seize big opportunities, then why even stay in the sport? Why punish your body fighting guys like Juan ****ing Urango? By the way, if Hatton doesn't have that loser out of there by the 4th round, he's going to be heavily criticized. Urango sucks d at best.

[Bozo_no no]

like i said... the same old arguement... he can fight 6 guys with no chance at beating him, but has every excuse in the book for not fighting all the guys that would have been more competitive

You had no point.

You listed 5 guys, 4 of who woud NOT have fought him.

Thanks for coming out.

It's not even 18 months since Hatton first sat at the big boys table, so I don't think he's done too bad in that time, do you?

He has fought one elite fighter in his entire career and he's already talking about retiring. He is the jr. welterweight version of Joe Calzaghe...

Most people would have preferred Marg to Baldy, I would say.

And most people would also prefer Witter to Urango

Why do Floyd fans prefer to make excuses, like certain fighters aren't worthy, than see the fights? I don't get it. It just doesn't ring true when you look at the guys he has fought over the last 4 years.

Kind of like the excuses Hatton made to duck Witter, even though that would be the biggest fight in the UK?

DLH and Mosley are fine by me, but why wasn't he chasing them when they were closer to their primes instead of wasting time on bums and shot fighters?

Kinda like how Hatton fought a Tsyzu who was on the way out? Why doesn't he fight a good fighter in his prime?

There was no court case last year. Floyd offered a fight for autumn 2005 and Hatton said he'd be ready to fight in the States in early 2006. Floyd went to 147 instead.

Sorry, but I don't have the time or inclination to debate things on the level of "scared" fighters. Come back to me when you've grown up a little.

bull****. Mayweather was ready to fight Hatton in November. Hatton fought Maussa instead so Mayweather fought Sharmba Mitchell. So even though Mitchell is better than Maussa, MAYWEATHER is the one being criticized? EFF THAT, criticize Hatton for fighting ****ing Carlos Maussa.

good comparison. Joe Calzaghe is just as bad as Hatton. Typical British fighters fight one big fight and go into their shells thinking they did enough. Yeah right. I can't believe Brits even try to claim Hatton's resume is comparable to Floyd's.

What have I told you about reading the posts properly? I said closer to their primes.

Baldomir was marginally better financially if you believe what Floyd tells you, but in no way was it as tough of a fight.

What's wrong with an easyish unification a few months after biggest fight of your life? Don't we keep seeing Calzaghe slated for not unifying? Collazo was an HBO pick and an infintely more impressive feat than most, if not all of Floyd's recent fights.

Urango is poor but it's just filling time until Castillo, and it's a belt.

Hatton after Zoo has fought Maussa, Collazo and is scheduled to fight Juan Urango.
Theres just no excuse for that.
The Baldomir fight was the best option for Floyd, more money and facing a real champion, not a paper one.

Neither Mosley or DLH are shot fighters, and when they were in their primes Floyd was fighting 17 and 12 pounds below their weight classes.

Ricky Hatton has turned down PBF for 3 years now, 3 times that I know of. Yes, PBF stated 3 years ago he was willing to go to Manchester and beat Ricky in his own back yard. He said 'Hatton is my money fight and Zoo is my legacy fight'. Rickys handlers wanted nothing to do with it because they felt Ricky 'wasnt ready'. Exactly the same thing happened last year and this year after Collazo. Rickys handlers now say they want £ 7.000.000 which I'm sure Dan Goosen has objected to.

yes, nobody else would fight pbf but gatti, baldy, bruselles, sosa, corley, zab and sosa... except margo and there's a thousand excuses why that didnt happen too... yes, pbf always fights the best possible opponents... all the critics of him are wrong

[DiegoFuego]

Hatton will be ready after Mayweather beats Oscar. Of course then we're looking at 14lb weight difference so advantage Hatton. Who the hell says they're "not ready" in boxing.

In 2003, Mayweather was calling out Gatti and De La Hoya who were at least 1 division and 3 divisins away from him, but he wanted them. And he chased them til he got them, fighting them at the weights they wanted. Hatton just sits on his ass like Calzaghe doing jack **** with their potential.

Upset I called you on your nonsense, so you change the subject.

You listed a group of fighters saying Floyd should have fought them, and in almost every case they WOULD NOT have fought Floyd.

You're trying your hardest to critisize, but you've been made to look foolish.

Either try a bit harder to make a point, or just shut up.

Suggesting Floyd fight a list of fighters who would not fight him is just plain ******.
