You keep making excuses and dismissing facts based on your own personal opinion. Yes Ring Magazine is a magazine - with well known boxing writers and historians. Your opinion on the other hand is written by you - some body we don't know from the internet. If you where me - would YOU take your own opinion over Ring Magazine? I make it easier for you - find one boxing writer that takes your opinion in regards who was the best 140 fighter at the time of Hatton vs Pac fight. Just one - not an entire magazine or website. Second, you keep ignoring the number of Pac catch weight fights and the PBF vs JMM weight. Seriously, you are so intent in proving your failed theory that you are ignoring the facts. The world is not flat.
Nobody gives a **** who you think is better between the two, and it doesn't factor into who was the champion at the weight in any way. What matters more to the general public, the lineage of the man who beat the man who beat the man, or your personal ****ing opinion. Do you really expect people to base who the champion of a division is on your opinion. You're delusional.
and plus he learned from the ODLH not to try and get guys dehydrated that is why he fought cotto at 147....oh wait a sec???
Cotto's title was a paper title he got from fighting a bum for a vacant belt, but there is still a difference between holding a belt in a division where there is no recognized champ, and holding a belt in a division where there is a recognized lineal champ. The WW division is open to be claimed, but 140 was not.
how about the fact that bradley would whip hattons ass all over the ring???...all of boxing is not about RESUMES....I would think most would agree bradley is better than hatton...that being said manny was smart to fight hatton....he thrives on fighting defensively ******ed boxers....now he must fight the master of defense and we will see how it goes...all respect to manny if he beats floyd....just don't see it
