    He didn't wait for **** you fu cking idiot. Quit truing to make up **** like no one here followed boxing back then because I will call your dumbass out, Bute fan.:lol::rofl

    PBF did offer Hatton the fight at 140. It was Hatton who turned down PBF back in 2005 when Hatton beat zoo at 140 and PBF beat Gatti at 140. Hatton was ringside for that fight and after the demolition job PBF put on Gatti he wanted no parts turned him down saying he wasn't ready. :deal It was Hatton's fault the fight didn't happen at 140 blame him. With that said Ricky offered no excuses for the fight at 147 so why should you?

    PBF was the #1 P4P in the world and the linear champ at 147. Why in the hell should he move down he was the champ. Hatton wanted what he had not the other way around.:deal

    Don't you generally have to beat other top 10 P4P fighters to be considered #1 P4P?

    Corrales was rated no. 5 by Ring Magazine and Mayweather no. 7 when they fought.

    Marquez and Mosley, there hasn't been a top P4P welter lately except for Marquez and Bradley. And Bradley and Pacquiao are Top Rank so Floyd isn't touching them.

    Just because you fought there before doesn't mean you can still make weight.
