What about you RM, you a mature and reasonable Floyd fan who thinks this fight was a waste of a perfectly good biannual ring appearance for PBF, or one of those who likes to frame his every accomplishment, however pedestrian, as some kind of revelatory masterpiece?
Not as good as me - I bet on Mayweather by KO in rounds 8,9 and 10, and lets be honest he could have taken Ricky out in any of those rounds had he not been so cautious. The fight went exactly how I expected it to go, and I got odds of 42-1 :happy :happy :happy
I think this was a fight that should have happend in November of 2004. But hatton chose to sit ringside at Mayweather - Gatti then procedded to fight the undercard upset winner in Carlos Muassa. then i had to hear all the bull**** about Floyd not fighting the best in the division, so I had no problem watching Floyd show a distinct level of class between him and the man many accused him of ducking. that said of course I would have rather watched Mayweather - Cotto that night.
Joe Cortez didn't give a chance so that Hatton could fight the way Duran used to do but I still see a lot of similarities between both Mañitas de Piedra and the Hitman... People, just consider what Cortez would do if Hatton punched flagrantly south of the border like Duran did to Buchanan at the sound of the bell to end the 13th in NYC, 1972 - Hatton wouldn't win by TKO!
word...except for prefering may-cotto. Hatton was unfinished business, I really like both fighters and I want to see Cotto now reign and dominate with mayweather moving on to the promotional side of things.
the flaw in the thinking was that Hatton is not fit to carry Duran's jockstrap. I predicted TKO 11 so was just out. mayweather hasn't rocked an opponent for long time, never mind knocked them silly. He did that to overrated Ricky.
