    If you want a gay ass avatar like me I will PM it to you, or you can earn it yourself by betting on Margarito.

    Why would I want to represent gayness like you. I just think if you bet on margarito in any world class fight you deserve the avatar and a little man-love. But hey thats you, no-homo. But anyway, you have to admit there a lot of gay avatars around and you all seem to hate floyd. So if I got the wrong guy, then dont get all snippy..Twan.....lol

    No you have the right guy, I dont like Mayweather. I do give him credit though for being a great fighter and for fights like these. And no I didnt bet on Margo for any reason related to Floyd, I thought he would beat PW.

    But it is funny how you guys spin reality. I mean he runs he pot shots he is scared of all these fighters. He fought all soft competition coming up. He cherry picks every fight just b/c he wins it you say the guy was never a threat. I dont understand the blind hate. I just dont get it.

    This is how I've seen his fights this decade:

    Goyo Vargas: dull

    Emmanuel Burton/Augustus: entertaining

    Diego Corrales: OK in terms of entertainment, brilliant performance

    Carlos Hernandez: started out good, but once Floyd hurt his hand, it became ugly and on the dull side.

    Jesus Chavez: entertaining, possibly the most exciting fight Floyd was in.

    Jose Luis Castillo I: good close, competitive fight.

    Jose Luis Castillo II: dull

    Victoriano Sosa: average. A jabbing clinic, but I did enjoy watching Mayweather's defensive moves.

    Philip Ndou: entertaining

    Chop Chop Corley: entertaining

    Henry Bruseles: OK

    Arturo Gatti: sort of like the Corrales fight, although it had more action, and not quite as brilliant a performance (Chico was levels better than Gatti).

    Shambra Mitchell: OK

    Zab Judah: pretty good. Zab gave Floyd trouble early on but Floyd adjusted and Zab (as usual) did not adjust.

    Carlos Baldomir: Boorring.

    Oscar De La Hoya: decent. It was more exciting while it happened because of the suspense, being such a big event, and being competitive, but it doesn't have much replay value.


    That being said, I think Floyd's conservative actions in the last couple of fights is a cause for concern. Of course I could just be overanalyzing things.

    I will never forget this fight. Floyd was actually talking to Lampley in the middle of one of the rounds. There wasn't even a lull in the action. Floyd was hitting Bruseles, and then Lampley asked who he thought would win between the Eagles and the Falcons in the NFC championship game. Floyd truned is head real quick and stupidly picked the Falcons.

    :lol: :lol: :lol:


    This **** is just downright FUNNY!!

    C'mon Too Pretty, look at styles and similarity of matchups when you wanna draw comparison's to what will take place in this fight.


    Hatton fights NOTHING LIKE AUGUSTUS!!!! I'm not discrediting the fight, it's a decent win, but EA is a journeyman known for up and down performances. The 35-28-6 record kind of screams that. His style is bouncing, dancing, and shooting, not pressure, inside fighting and BODYWORK. Here's a little perspective on THAT fight, Augustus lost to John John Molina and Teddy Reid in the 7 months preceding PBF and lost to Mickey Ward(great fight far better than PBF vs Augustus) and Lenoard Dorin within the 11 months following.


    Hatton is gonna look more like JLC 1 and DLH ONLY MUCH MORE INTENSE!!! :good

    Also, Floyd was at a lighter weight and hasnt displayed a high workrate since what 02, 03??? :lol: Yall Floyd fans are SEARCHING, YEARNING, AND STRETCHING with the comparison's and seem to ignore those that are most similar.

    Yea, if you were smacking around a bum?? You might be able to talk **** in the middle too. Bruseles had ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS being put in that ring with PBF. That fight was a JOKE, even worse is PBf got 3 mil for beating up a STIFF:good

    You can't fight superfights everytime. That his first fight at 140 and it was a title eliminator.

    C Money...whatever man....lol yeah hatton does not have the reach...nor the ability to box if need be..lol..Mayweather will force hatton to have to box...just like you say hatton will force a fight for 12 which wont happen. Hatton cannot box that well. He will get owned. Floyd throws short crisp accurate punches and counter punches on the inside. Floyd was injured in castllo 1...Castillo 2 would be more like it if you want to compare.Unlike castillo and ODH hatton has no jab to hide behind to get in. He is not as big as ODH and not much of a one punch threat. ODH did nothing to floyd on the inside where hatton can only beat floyd. Same as castillo did very little but for 3 str8 rounds. WE WILL SEE..lol I am laughing at you ...not with you on this one..Sorry buddy.

    And hey Cmoney. I bet hatton gets punch the same amount this fight. Counter uppercuts and catching leaping lulu all night. Hatton's fight game is too one dimensional he has no plan b. Plan A will not be effective against a talented quick fighter like floyd. At least not for 6-7 rounds needed to win or get a close fight.

    Hey you're entitled to your opinion's, it's cool.


    As for DLH?? He walked in and made it competitive AT THE END of his career. You dismiss hatton's ability because Floyd's you're hero, I got it:good DLH has never had the body attack of Hatton. While DLH was pitter pat slapping, Hatton will be delivering rib crushing shots. DLH failed to use his jab and didnt box all that well and still made it close.

    Hatton's better than JLC and the only reason I bring it up is to show that it has more style similarity than PBF vs Augustus.

    Laugh away my friend, i've done the same with you're comparisons of Collazo and Augustus as MODEL's for how PBF vs Hatton will play out. We've moved beyond personal attacks and it's all good.

    You know I have said PBF is the slight favorite and could win this, but it will NOT resemble you're examples and will be a tough competitive fight no matter who wins. Cant wait for December:good

    Floyd's never had a high workrate. He's a selective puncher, usually an accurate one, but his low workrate can be a weakness.
