    Undefeated- Floyd Mayweather, Jr vs Ricky Hatton (December 8th, 2007)

    One of the most special fights in the modern era. A fight between two undefeated fighters in their primes.

    38-0 (Floyd Mayweather #1 p4p fighter, WW champ, 5 weight world champion)

    43-0 (Ricky Hatton, lineal champ at 140 lb, former WW champ, 2 weight world champ)

    2 fighters with distinctively different personalities. The American boxer vs the British Bulldog.

    Produced a great rivalry and of course, the best/most memorable 24/7 series of all time. Don't think this can be disputed.

    The weigh in was also stunning (Was there myself), the atmosphere was beyond electric. Crazy stuff by these two men.

    Fight was also beautiful to watch. Floyd fought in the phone booth (on the inside) and managed to outmuscle/out fight Hatton there. Was very surprising, Floyd showed that he was clearly the better man in the fight

    He showcased his brilliance on the outside as well, being able to defend well and pinpoint Hatton with his accurate right hands again and again throughout the fight. This is what it means to be a complete fighter. Floyd was a very complete fighter that night. Showed us everything in his bag of boxing tricks/techniques. INCLUDING his jab which he demonstrated in the 9th round, connecting on 11/15 of them. It was a pleasure to watch.

    Official scores. 89-81, 89-81, 88-2. It was close to a shutout.

    And of course, one of the best finishing left hooks in boxing history was displayed in this fight. Floyd's check left hook, absolutely brilliant.

    The best win of the 2000's.

    I think Hopkins beating Trinidad is a bit more significant. Tito beating Vargas as well.

    I think you're right, and why would you feel bad for him? He loses he's going to be a miserable ****, he wins.... he'll still be a miserable ****. What's the difference?

    Hyperbole much? There are much better fighters from the 2000's than Louie Collazo's son, Ricky Hatton.

    Mosley beating De La Hoya.. i mean theres so many that were more significant. Corrales was a better win that Hatton.
