    Thanks. Ever since PBF moved from 135, his choice of opponents has followed a pretty predictable formula:

    1. Get guys who can draw fans and PPV buys, b/c PBF can't (Gatti, DLH, RH)

    2. Fight guys past their prime. 34+ years old is the 'sweet
    spot.' (Mitchell, Baldomir, DLH)

    3. Fight guys coming off of losses (Zab)

    4. Fight guys who have shown weakness (RH @ 147) and
    make sure you set the terms of the fight with the
    conditions best set-up for the opponent's weaknesses
    to come out (147)

    5. Avoid fights which you could lose (SSM, AM and now, PW,
    possibly).


    And that's how you get a list of guys like Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, ODLH and now Hatton. Cherrypicking isn't easy, but PBF's camp is so used to it that it is almost a no-brainer to figure out who they will pick as the next opponent. That's why I always knew Cory Spinks' name would get mentioned (as it has in the past by PBF's team) - he's a light-hitting, low-threat choice. Hatton sucked at 147? Cool. Sign him up!

    @ 147.

    Same old PBF...

    What would you expect by a bunch of idiots? It's the same thing that happened with DLH to an extent. DLH was WAAAY overrarted, but Floyd beating him moving him to this great pantheon with SRR and Ali. :patsch

    The Floyd fanatics on this side are truly idiots...

    Floyd was never Hatton's Mandatory...so how did he rob him? And before you say he didn't need to be a mandatory, explain WHY he fought Brusseles to get to Gatti chump.

    That's because you have no life loser. You live vicariously through Floyd on a message board. But you're so stupid you'd say "I told you so" to people who picked Floyd anyway....

    That fighter who supposedly MOVED UP had several fights at 140 and above already.

    And you know what the sad part is out of all the guys PBF has fought (other than Mitchell)..a good majority of ESBers picked those guys to upset PBF before the fight. Some people even picked Baldomir to beat PBF because Baldomir would be too big for PBF! Then Oscar, a bigger, more skilled fighter who would be able to trounce PBF. Judah, a fast, powerful fighter who would give PBF all sorts of fits. Floyd could literally fight Klitschko and he will still be accused of ducking somebody else. Very sad..

    Wrong...not all that many picked Judah or Gatti or Mitchell or Baldomir to win. There were a lot who picked DLH, but ****, he has more groupies then N'Sync did. But at least with DLH, one can see why.

    You're ****ing hilarious. You do realize you could do this with every fighter's resume don't you?
    Why did Pac fight EM after coming off a loss?
    Why did Hatton try and get a fight with Gatti even after he was clearly past it?
    Why has Hatton ducked Witter for years?
    I could go on and on.:-(
