    The fact that nobody is able to make him fight and the thing about being beatable has nothing to do with each other or maybe you think his act is going to pay him everytime? He's gonna lose and that will be very soon.

    He looks unbeatable because he fights the most beatable opposition he can find. JMM had no chance. Hatton had no chance. Mosley's going to make him tremble.

    Ridiculous to include Hatton in this remark. At the time of the fight, Hatton was widely regarded as the man who would finally whip Floyd's ass.

    Only in the UK where the bookmakers and the PPV made a killing.

    Many undefeated fighters looked unbeatable, until they are beaten.

    Floyd will get beaten 1 week from now.

    i guess u didnt see the many pro athletes and entertainers picking hatton or some of the boxing experts. many people gave Hatton a very solid chance in the US

    No he ****ing wasn't. In the Sweet Science poll of the time only five out of fifteen guys picked Hatton and admitted it was a long shot. Even Barry McGuigan said that Hatton was up against it. No one seriously thought Hatton would win. It was all driven by 24/7.

    There was not a serious boxing writer or analyst who chose Hatton. He was widely seen as too crude, too one-dimensional and too open to beat Floyd. The only miracle was that it was a clear stoppage and not on cuts.

    even then you only named 2 fighters out of 40...and one (Hatton) doesnt even belong....keep reaching....and if Mosley is going to make him tremble why is it still regarded that FMJ will win...hell he wouldnt even made the fight for that matter.

    stop reaching.

    Well, I'm not going to list his whole ****ing resume, am I?

    He's fought good guys, but since moving to welterweight it's been the path of least opposition. Fact.

    Looking unbeatable until getting your ass kicked does not mean you ARE unbeatable. Would Tyson in his prime go through Ali's era unbeaten through everyone? Would he go up against Frazier, Foreman, Norton and Ali unbeaten? Roy Jones Junior would certainly be unbeatable against Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, etc? Nobody is unbeatable. That's childish fantasy talk. Marciano hung around for Patterson, Liston, then Ali, somebody was bound to take him eventually. Calzaghe stuck around for Dawson, you never know. Nobody is unbeatable, no matter what they might look like at their best. Ray Robinson-beatable. Hank Armstrong-beatable. Harry Greb-beatable. Everybody is ****ing beatable by somebody. End rant.

    no fighter is unbeatable , there is always a fighter or style to beat them, but floyd is the best all around talent i have seen in the last 20 years as a package.

    mayweather the welterweight historically would have been vunerable to bigger more natural welters like hearns and ray leanord/robinson etc etc , mayweather would had to adapt his style to get inside and actually be the aggressor say v a fighter luike hearns , who could really use his height and reach at welter and his power made it very hard to be to brave.

    even leanord a master boxer was outboxed by 147 hearns and had to change up and try to walk through hearns which he ended up doing.

    imo this would not be in floyds mindset v such a fighter and he would have lost such a mythical match up.

    today paul williams at welter i think gives him problems albeit a gameplan to beat williams has already been shown and paq is tiny for a welter , but his fast hands and workrate will make him competitive v floyd albeit i would favour mayweather 3-1 in such a fight .

    i do not expect mosely to have the youth to beat mayweather albeit i think the prime lightweight mosley beats the prime lightweight mayweather as mosley was an absolute beast of a 135 fighter/hand speed/chin/power/boxing abilty , prime mosely was brilliant , just he moved up in weight diminishing his legacy what he should have built up at 135.
