    143...147.

    I don't think four pounds can really make a difference. It must be psychological.

    Gatti is impossible to miss. What fighter hasnt landed power punch after power punch on him? Gatti has no defense. Come on.

    Zab? Maywaether hardly destoyed Zab did he? The fight went the distance and he never hurt glass Zab.

    Sharmba was being destoyed by everyone at that point to be honest.

    I think he only stands with oponnents that he knows that he can hurt. Which i dont see much wrong with tbh. He maybe should haves tood in the pocket with baldo a bit more and just beat on him for entertainment value. But if he was to have stood and traded with Oscar he would have gotten stopped. Same with Hatton he wont stand and trade cause if he did Ricky would break his ribs. He'll probably stick and move to a UD.

    I always thought pbf would just outbox ricky but recently been thinking about it, i think ricky will just be too much for floyd. Hopefully anyway.

    Shut the **** up , you don't know what your talking about , the corrales Vs floyd fight was before corrales went to Prison not after .

    and floyd only fight where he really didn't fight toe to toe was Baldi..

    That's a good choice for Ricky - 142 or 143 should be perfect. Then, he will have the size of Floyd and probably weigh more on fight night. But he will also retain his speed, quickness, and stamina. He wont be sluggish like he was against Collazo.

    Yeah i'd go with jones. I think that Sweet Pea was mabye last generation in his prime. I think that floyd has all the tools to be a truly great fighter and would probaly beat most people from 130-140 in history. But he hasnt fought the people he should have fought; cares more bout $$$ than his legacy.

    Yea but it makes a difference whether he gets a Gatti type of schooling or
    Baldomir type of schooling. If he comes light he is getting Baldomir type, if heavy he is getting Gatti type beating.

    Whitaker was definitely the best fight from 88 until 94, then Roy Jones was the best from 94 until 2003, then Mayweather has been the best until now.

    Its not as simple as that though, coz he's planning on being 155lbs or so when he hits the ring, so he'll probably weigh in at 147lbs just so he doesn't have to go through the process off losing the extra 4lbs. At least thats what I heard. Dont be shocked if he weighs in at 146 or 147.

    Ray Hatton doesnt have a clue what hes talking about, Ricky Hatton weighs 154 on fight night and will not go down to 143 if he doesnt need to.
