    That wasn't your original question!!! You brought this up after the guy answered your original question!

    Why do you think I posed that question in the first place? Before I could grasp where he was going with this thread, I first needed to know what fighters he considered to have fought the best. I'll be honest with you, Samski, if he had said Floyd Mayweather Jr, I would have stopped taking this discussion seriously right then on the spot.

    Sergio Martinez is a credit to the sport of Boxing, as is Paul Williams, Kelly Pavlik, and Manny Pacquiao.

    Hatton 2 fights earlier had been KO'd and was looking shaky any time he got hit, Lascano tgged him and shook him up.

    If he would have said Floyd you would have stopped talking to him. My thing is he didn't say Floyd but you still found some reason to discredit the fighters he said only to say those guys are a credit to the sport!!!:huh

    Regarding Ricky Hatton, he had previously looked vulnerable and shaky against Luis Collazo before fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. This is similar to how he performed against Lazcano, only to then pull out a wonderful performance against Paulie Malignaggi, just as he had done against a shot Jose Luis Castillo. I see a lot of comparisons in the circumstances ahead of each fight.

    Is it not an irrefutable fact that Kelly Pavlik spent his 2009 fighting over-matched opposition? He shouldn't be congratulated for going on to fight Sergio Martinez, it was to be expected of him at that point. Likewise, Martinez and Williams really had nowhere else to go but to fight one another because they represented high risk, low reward. There wasn't really anyone else. I'm not discrediting them, I'm simply outlining their circumstances and why they made the choices they did.

    I never said Roach was always right. My point was this is how Roach figures his fighter has a better chance of winning. Roach felt his fighter didn't have a good chance of beating Moseley and that's why he kept his fighter away from him. He could have been wrong then too but they were too cautious to take that chance.

    I am not a *******. I am simply pointing out that Ricky Hatton had actually impressed people post-Mayweather. He wasn't a done deal.

    You can say paper champion. Unbiased fans know the truth.... Manny Pacquiao is an ATG.
