Please Stop Saying Floyd Picks On Smaller Fighters! He is the Smaller Fighter!

You keep saying that...He took the risk just for simple fact he's moved up in weigh...There is a very slim margin of fighters that are multi-division champs...let along 5 or 6 divisions.

He doesnt swing for the fences becaue he has brittle hands...Thats a fact buddy so you can downplay his victories all you want to but their is actually FACTUAL evidence that back my claims.

Its people like you that kill me....first you want to say that his fans are the ones who got it bad but look at what you're doing...You expect to be critical on a fighter without his fans responding back to your post....You're being hypocrit...Every figh fan tend to speak up for the fighter that they're fans of, so cut the bull**** out.....You're no better than the ones you're so-called talking about...**** work both ways...not just your way!:good

 

I've noticed...Flat out hater!:yep

 

That's why he'll only fight mega fights at 147. Pac is probably the biggest fight, especially if its at............. 140

The Cotto and Margarito ppl. can now calm down since they have both been Brutally KO'd.

 

Then to top it off.

Hatton weighed no more than what he normally weighs as a Jr WW when he fought Mayweather unlike when he fought Collazo he was 160+

 

Exactly and he still outweighed PBF when they fought.

 

Hatton was also a virtual unknown at that point in the U.S. (don't tell me that Americans revered him for the Tszyu win), and Floyd had just headlined his first major PPV against Gatti. The fight didn't build into a mega event until Hatton had fought outside of the UK against Collazo, a fight that also proved he was a considerably weaker fighter at 147. Then Floyd flew the coop to face a fighter who had just lost in Zab and wasted another year. There were plenty of reasons that fight didn't happen in 2005 or 2006. Most of them were financial. And they weren't all Hatton's fault.

And here's the other problem. If Floyd stepped into the ring on fight night against Hatton at 148, and still could have made 140 as you claim, then he was FULLY aware that Hatton coming up another seven pounds was to his advantage, especially after seeing Collazo damn near end him. I don't blame him, he was the champ, and it gave him an edge. But couldn't he have said, "You know what Ricky, I'm going back down a weight class just to slap you around on your own turf", the way Roy did with Tarver post Ruiz? He didn't.

I'm with you that PBF at any weight would have schooled Hatton. But you can't tell me that he beat Hatton at his best, because he didn't, and you can't convince me that this was "all Hatton's fault", because it wasn't. It's never that simple, and this case is no different.

The reason why us "irrational Floyd haters" exist is because you guys would have us think he took the path of most resistance at every turn, or always wanted to, when virtually every time he really had the chance to, mysteriously easier circumstances arose. When you are as good as Floyd, you are supposed to SEEK challenges, even if that means accepting disadvantages you aren't supposed to accept. Floyd - Hatton happening at 147 instead of 140 is just one example.

 

Another Mayweather thread...:tired. Wake me up when one of these morons anoints him god so I can laugh...

 

its about making s..s..s..mart decisions.....

 

This is a boxing forum and no one is making you enter this thread man!:tong

 

I've had that thought plenty of times.

But Mayweather threads are like horror films, minus the hot chicks and gullible frat boys. You can't look away even if you try.

 

Big problem right there.

Hatton weighs 152-154 on fight night as a Jr WW.


Against Floyd he weighed 154.

Against Collazo he weighed 160.

The "weight" was a non factor.

 

Decent post but It still doesn't excuse why PBF-Hatton didn't happen back in 2005. The fight would have done good numbers regardless. Hatton was red hot with his win over Zoo I think he even won fighter of the year that year and PBF had just beaten Gatti. The fight should have taken place then but Team Hatton declined period end of discussion. So save the build up his name stuff. I would have loved the fight to have taken place back then because I truely feel PBF would have beaten Hatton worse at 140 than he did at 147 and he would have had another linear championship on his resume.

Now on to PBF fighting Hatton at 147. What you fail to realize is that Hatton wanted what PBF had not the other way around. Just like PBF called Oscar out and fought him on his terms at 154. Hatton realized this and did the same and rightfully so. Hatton at that time was in no position to dictate terms with PBF. Hatton looking lackluster had nothing to do with PBF wanting to fight him at 147 and not 140. If that's the case why did he offer him a fight there back in 2005?:deal

Roy Jones went back down to 175 because he had no business fighting at HW anyway, 175 is where he should have been at. Do you actually expect me to believe your terrible arguement here? Come on man.atsch

My problem with irrational PBF haters is that they never give PBF an ounce of credit and have too many double standards. Before the PBF-Hatton fight they said Hatton would pound PBF to the body until he quit. PBF makes him dance with the ring post and now all of a sudden Hatton was too small. I'm here to keep these people like that in check and will continue to do so.

 

Floyd is a small fighter. Him and Manny are the same size. Manny gets a lot of praise for stepping up and fighting bigger men yet Floyd seems not to be able to do enough to get the proper praise. Floyd is a great fighter who is fighting above his weight. He should fight Manny. That will be a good fight. Floyd by UD.

 

Good post! It's because it's a popularity contest and Manny has more fans here. People hate PBF so they will never give him credit that he's due no matter what he does. They can't stand his cocky persona the fact that he's unmarked after his fights, or never been beaten or humbled in the ring.

 

Floyd is the best and when your on the top people just love to shoot you down. Floyd got his fanatics and a ton of haters. I noticed on this site Manny got a lot of huggers but also a lot of haters too. That is the price of being the best. Haters would love nothing more than to see Floyd lose. I don't see it though. Haters aint gonna be satisfied till Floyd takes down a heavyweight. I don't know why they stressin on Margarito and Cotto, I mean they are good but Floyd would kill em.
