Floyd probably would have won anyway but that ref was nothing short of a disgrace. Lennox didn't need his own refs and hometown.catchweight advantage. :hi::deal
I'm a Brit and I go back quite a long way compared with most on here and I must say I haven't seen many better than Mayweather. He's a quite remarkable talent and I don't think I've ever seen a better defence only Whittaker compares. Of the Brits I think he would have had his hands full with Ted Kid Lewis who was best at Welterweight where he shared the world title for years with Jack Britton . He started out at Lightweight won the European title at middleweight and ended up fighting light heavies! The thing with Mayweather he has never been motivated by legacy he is aptly nicknamed because the dollar is his sole driving force. However being a boxing fan I mainly only interested in what I see in the ring and for me he's been one of the best.
I didn't realize there were so many brittards who think Hatton had ANY chance regardless of who the ref was and where the fight was. Should he have been allowed to hit and hold and rabbit punch as he was accustomed to in YELLOWTOOTHLAND? Talking about paid refs and yet Hatton was a guy who LITERALLY had a paid off ref against Tsyzu. Mayweather beats Ricky "B-level" Fatton anytime, anywhere, any excuse you come up with. Get over it. This thread was not intended to hurt any feelings; merely to add a glint of perspective to ESB.
So would Lennox. Why does anybody care if a certain boxer from a specific nation is better than any boxer from another nation? I couldn't think of a more irrelevant matter to save my life.
Gotta love brittards who think Floyd cheated to beat Hatton. Floyd simply beat Hatton at his own game that night, and adjusted well. I still can't believe Lederman scored the first round for Hatton. Floyd CLEARLY landed the cleaner, more effective blows.
You really need to get over your hatred for Brits, it makes you look a clown and adds bias to any opinion you have. Who cares where Mayweather is from, it won't matter for his legacy, and it shouldn't have any standing on someone's opinion of a fighter. Insult Ricky Hatton all day long because he is British, at the end of the day he's got more money than you, and is better at his chosen craft than you can ever dream of being. Now trot along and get some takeout - because it would only be fitting for me to end by getting on your level and spouting stereotypical diatribe.
Lewis bruno cooper fury haye ext ext....................... All knock him out inside 1st min.. His own size...Ken Buchanan out points him with his jab
the Brits really have you shook! what happened for you to be this angry at us? :think we must have some sort of importance to you considering that you always make threads about us? :yep was it the defeat for fighters you supported? it has to be something. oh, and Lewis, Fitzsimmons, Wilde and "Kid" Lewis are much much better. Floyd is a cherry picking flake. :deal
How about Calzaghe who was also undefeated, was champion for 10 yrs and had 3 or more fights than Mayweather has.
