    Very very impressive. Two examples of a masterboxer performing at his best. The Hatton win was not as good as the Chico win IMO, coz Hatton showed v Collazo that he wasn't comfortable at 147, but it doesn't really matter that much as Floyd showed he was a cut above on the night and would've beat Ricky at 140 anyway, tho it would've been closer. The punch for the 1st Hatton knockdown is maybe my favourite punch ever, and I'm not a Mayweather fan at all. It was just PERFECT!

    Chico was near perfection, I didnt think he would do it that easily.

    Hatton win was very good, but I expected it would go that way, like most. The stoppage was little unexpected, just the way it happened more than anything.

    chico was a great win..people forget how highly rated chico was going into that fight and at a lower weight class he was a real destroyer.Hatton was pretty impressive..he was a p4p guy going in. i think Floyd would get more credit if people remembered these guys statusB EFORE they fought mayweather.

    Floyd has an excellent resume despite the suggestions of some. Genaero Hernandez and Jesus Chavez are two very impressive wins that people overlook for example.

    If he comes back and beats either a MArgo or a Williams or a Clottey or whomever gains the top rng ALL anti-floyd whining should end forever. Even if he does not his resume is excellent and people should recognize that.

    His resume is NOT excellent. It's good. I had this argument with someone before and me and the guy went through Floyd's resume one-by-one and looked at it in detail. His resume is NOT excellent at all. He was a world champion for 10 years and only fought 2 top 10 p4p guys, no top 3 p4p guys. Genaro Hernandez had already been KO'd in a quicker time by De La Hoya when Hernandez was younger, fresher and better. Look at Jesus Chavez's resume, especially his lead up to the Mayweather fight, before suggesting him as evidence of an excellent resume.
