Gotta love the oppertunism after a big fight.

    Before the fight a reasonably large group of people were predicting he would knock out Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather knocks out Hatton, and now I read Haton loses to a shot Baldomir and Mayweather beats Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Gotta love these overreactions.

    Hatton wouldn't lose to Baldomir but he'd lose to Mosley, Cotto, Cintron, and Williams. I thought that before the fight.

    Mayweather wouldn't beat Robinson, nor is he top 10 p4p of all time. Nobody becomes that great by knocking out Ricky Hatton, I'm sorry, maybe I'm crazy. The best comparison I can make is Muhammad Ali vs Cleveland Williams. Ali looked ridicliously good that night and stopped his man easily, but he didn't become the best ever because of that, he became the best ever in my eyes for beating Liston x2, Frazier x2, Norton x2, Foreman, and facing every single challenger that was there at the time.
