    PBF gave a boxing masterclass last night,and against Hatton he went into the trenches and weathered the storm before asserting his authority and stopping Ricky,but i get the feeling he calls the shots and has all the physical advantages.
    To cement a legacy a fighter should fight the best,and accept the biggest challenges and not try and fool the paying public and boxing fans by fighting smaller guys and using clever advertising and publicity to convince people he's taking a big risk.
    I picked PBF to win by landslide UD or late stoppage and this proved to be a fairly accurate prediction.When they came together for the Refs instructions PBF's physical advantages were clear to see,and from the first punch he landed the power advantage was obvious.
    Credit to Marquez for staying the distance,but he was in a fight he never had any chance of winning.
    I fully respect PBF's talent,but when/if will he fight a live opponent.Is this the build up to a super fight with Pac ? i think so,but again PBF would be fighting the "small guy".Pac beat an uninterested and out of condition DLH,and a shopworn Hatton,so i don't believe this fight would have any credibility.

    Opinions please gentlemen.

    a man with debts who is also one of the atg practicers of the sweet science ever but a lot of fear of losing that 0...one of the few (one of the-if not perhaps the only scared atg's; that is to say insecure;that is not to say anything about his talent level, which is sweet peac, rjj, srl, pacman type level(if not better))

    On his way up he missed Tszyu and Mosely. Would have loved to have seen those fights.

    We might still get one of them.
