    people who are picking pbf-judah and pbf-gatti dont know wat they are talking about...

    floyd was the aggressor in those fights, he threw and landed more shots, he backed his men up and beat them up.

    True but it was such a beatdown that I had to include it.

    Chris Byrd vs. David Tua is one example.

    ODLH vs. Trinidad, before Oscar went into 'prevent' mode

    ODLH vs. Vargas (second half of the fight)

    Whittaker vs. Ramirez (both fights)

    Larry Holmes vs. Ray Mercer

    PBF also worked to the body better than hatton and that was supposed tobe hatton's speciality...very underrated performance by PBF

    He didn't back him up! Seriously bro, stick to trolling in the general forum and flirting in the lounge.

    It was a defensive fight for the most part. Until the last few rounds, all Mayweather was doing was going backwards and trying to catch Hatton on his way in. Only when he had him hurt did he start putting punches together.

    Certainly though he wasn't as defensive as against Baldo or Castillo, and i do agree BTW that some postersw on this thread have been givnig some bad examples.
