Floyd Mayweather, what a FU***ng disgrace

Yeah I think you're probably right but I imagined you , scurla and betty might enjoy seeing Hatton beaten at 140 ( thuis his " I'm unbeatable at 140" argument is removed )

A bit off topic but i was watching "in the corner with Smiddy" on Youtube and the one with Mayweather is insane , the guys movement is just so natural , i's as if no-one actually taugh him , he just knew !

 

this rumour was only started by hatton's team .thye sent a story out saying they were talking to mayweather.mayweather has come and set it straight
nothing else to it .

 

The 140 argument was never logical anyway. Ricky Hatton is the same fighter at 147 as he is at 140. There is no difference, except for his opponents are slightly bigger and can't be bullied easily.

Mayweather started off at 130lbs. People would do well to remember that.

 

Fair dos !

 

What a load of crap. Weight divisions exist for a reason.

And his performances at 147 prove he's a lesser fighter at that weight. It's there in black and white.

Oscar started at 130 but that doesn't mean anything. He was daed at 147 last week. It's where your body is NOW that counts.


ps why did Floyd insist they fought at 147 then?

 

he is a business man, id do the same

 

Ya, Hatton looked like a man who thought he could win on the way to the ring also

Hatton would have never taken a fight with Mayweather UNLESS money talked and it did, money had to be huge for him to take the risk

It was, he did, ringpost

Any Hatton fan criticising PBF for making bad decisions on who to fight is irony at its best

 

Thank you, someone with ****ing sense about this place:good

 

bollocks. How many fighters can you think of that have gone from a supposed beast at his original weight to something very average just 1 weight classs above...it's a nonsense. I can't think of any. Class fighters like Pacman go through multiple divisions kicking ass. He's an extreme example granted, but the point is valid.
Hatton is a limited grappler, that's all. PBF desrtoys him at any weight, and Collazo, average as he is, was at least young and fresh unlike almost all of Hatton's handpicked opponents at 140.

 

Now THATS a load of crap Jesus wept. The kid goes up 7lbs against 1 non-descript belt holder. Struggles immensely and you think thats definitive proof as to why 147 isn't his weight category? Hatton could face 30 journeymen at 47 and look good doing so. The bottom line is irrespective of the weight is he simply isnt good enough. 7lbs is a pathetically poor excuse to cling onto as a reason for his poor peformance. Shane started his career at 35. And has had a succesful career going through the weights. Judah Cotto PBF Gatti etc have all made successful transitions. But Hatton didnt because of 7lbs right? :roll:

 

People like Cotto and PBF started at their lowest possible weights, which is what Hatton should/could have done.

I think he could have easily started at 135/130, which with his body type would make 147 his 3rd/4th weight division, there'd be no shame in struggling to move up that many weights.

7 pounds is quite a lot though. Margarito and Hatton aren't too dissimilar in style.....and all of a sudden, if Hatton was to move up, he'd be fighting a similar fighter, but this fighter is 5 inches taller, has 6 inches more in reach and has a chin that could stand up to a middleweight punch.

 

I want to see them go at it again, Hatton fought the last fight on Mayweathers terms now lets see them go at it on Hattons terms. Have the fight in England, make it a 140 or if thats not a possibility make it at a catch weight around 143.5 and do not make Joe Cortez the referee.

I think Hatton would do much better against Floyd this time up, I have always thought that Welterweight is to much of a step up in weight for the hitman and he is quality in the 140 zone. Also he has been able to work on a lot more with Floyd than he could with Graham as for his last few fights under Graham he could not work on new things or do certain things wjich he can now do under Floyd, as well as the fact he has got his head movemant back which I think would be a very big factor for him against Mayweather because it wasn't there after Rd 2 against Floyd. Also I dont think Hatton got 'demolished' like some say. He was holding his own against Mayweather up until around the 5-6th round, in which he then went a bit gung-ho due to frustration mainly due to Joe Cortez not allowing him to fight his own fight (e.g. with the constant splitting and then a deduction for a behind the head punch which did not even touch Mayweather).

 

:roll:
Wicky, is that you?

 

7lbs is NOT alot of weight. Ifs obviously the difference for someone that struggles to make the weight but not for someone who consistently blows up so much in weight. The fact of the matter is Ricky just isn't good enough. 5 years ago 140 was the most talented division in boxing. Back then Hatton was no where to be seen in the merrigoround. Now that most of the best talent has moved up and retired his sitting pretty at 140 and facing the easiest tests. If Cotto SSM Judah Oscar could all make 140 do you honestly think Hatton would even be a favoruite? Do you think he can beat guys like Paul Williams Margarito Santos or Cintron up at 47? If Hatton had the style he could make a dent. The facts remain he does not and simply was never good enough to begin with. To make such a fuss over 7lbs when some fighters rehydrate by nearly double that in a day is ridiculous.

 

Don't see why that is worthy of a :roll: .. I think it's a fair statement and should get the go ahead.

? I'm new to these forums mate so I dont know any Wicky
