Does anybody complain about Mayweather making Hatton move-up to fight him?

    Doesn't work that way. Sorry. Do you honestly think if Hatton felt good at 147 (which he said he DIDN'T), he'd have left thr talent heavy 147 for the lesser 140? nope.

    Way to point the obvious about Floyd beats up Women. Look here stupid many fighters, wrestlers, players have beat up women. It's nothing new. It sucks but what can we do? You talk about Floyd beat up women? Wow surprise a fighter beats up women.

    So? You're nothing to me. Just another floyd fanatic who lies about what I say. You're a **** poster. Not sure why I removed you from my ignore...
     
  5. Not really, Hatton was a nobody, nobodies don't get to dictate to ATG's. Besides, what Hatton probably made during this fight was probably similar to his career earnings.

    None. Floyd had the speed, height and reach over Hatton before he came to 147. Hatton was the thicker guy, but not the more skilled guy.

    Floyd did not make Ricky come up.. Ricky made that choice on his own.... he called out Floyd right after he stopped Castillo with a body shot.

    its not the popular view but i dont think weight had anything to do with the jmm fight

    he beat jmm in the little mans game, speed he won by being faster not laying on him tiring him out cutting him off in corners

    but by being quicker and using movement

    it wouldnt have mattered at 140 floyd would have won in similar fashion

    Here's an interesting fact: Hatton, at the time Floyd fought him, was undefeated at 140 and 147, winning titles at both weights. Hatton also fought at weights above 140 for many of his earlier fights, winning all of them.

    It's because of Floyd, that's all. If Pac made him move up to 147 to fight him, then "weight would not matter".

    Take Floyd out of the equation, people will come to their senses.

    I'm a Floyd fan, but I am the fan of the sport first and foremost, and I know BS when I see it.
