    Fraud fights for money when it fits his path of least resistance mentality. . . if a guy like Margarito offers money and free agency then all the sudden he fights for linear belts and not the money.

    He's a cherry picking coward, its pretty obvious.

    So when Floyd goes around throwing money at the camera, you don't think thats an insult to all those listed above, absolutely no respect what so ever, that's why people see him as a ****.

    Agreed 100%!

    He's turned out to be nothing but a safety first, cherry picker and it's not going to change. This should impact his legacy significantly.

    It's too bad the Cotto bout isn't going to happen, ever, because Cotto would beat him.

    Floyd's dedication to his craft should be commended. It's his attitude that represents all wrong with not only boxing, but the youth of today. Everyone wants 'bling' and to be a loudmouth with money. But this is nothing new, and will happen again and again with another flashy boxer who thinks certain boxers are too 'beneath' them to fight. Happened with Leonard, DLH, and now Mayweather.

    Hatton isn't limited. He was just beaten by a much better fighter.

    How is he not limited? He is very far from what one should consider an 'elite', like Mayweather is considered.

    Hatton is not multi-dimensional and has a flawed style that's only effective against certain types, to make up for the lack of skill and ability.

    One not need be multi-dimensional to be seen as elite. It's all about what you accomplish with what you got.

    If he was so limited, he would have lost to Kostya Tszyu IMO.

    Had the rules been enforced properly, it'd have been the case. He's limited and used a very clinch-based style much like John Ruiz to be able to hang in there, but like Ruiz(and Hatton is MUCH better p4p), it only works against certain types. An aging fighter who has been inactive, sure. Any competent fresh young contender at the division up, not at all.

    Not an impressive win for Floyd and Hatton was absurdly overrated for far too long.

    You're incredibly biased against boxer you don't like, that's pretty obvious.

    Anyway, I agree it wasn't a great win for Floyd. Hatton simply isn't cut for WW.

    I stated all of these things as soon as the fight was announced. Floyd will fight name opponents who bring little to no threat to him, not the Cotto's and other WW prospective opponents, this is disgusting for the ****ing 'p4p #1'.

    It's not bias, it's a fact that Hatton is a limited fighter, on top of being totally ineffective at WW and against WW's. Even your guy Margarito would crush him in a few rounds.

    No **** Margarito would crush him. Hatton IS NOT A WELTERWEIGHT. Margarito would probably crush Juan Diaz or Paulie Malignaggi too.

    Either way, if Hatton was so limited, he wouldn't have come to the Mayweather fight undefeated.

    I agree with you on Mayweather though. EIther fight a top WW or drop the belt and take the money fights only..i.e. rematch w/ Goldy or Hatton.
