    Why the double standard? Neither had malice behind it, but alot of members here gave Floyd **** for it, and alot of these same members didn't even bring it up when hatton did the same thing.

    They can stomach an aggressive fighter much better than one who only knows how to fight running away.

    In other words "They care more about wild swingers than they do good boxers". They like the sizzle, not the Steak.

    cause Mayweather talked **** and Hatton didn't

    Mayweather is just more provocative. If he does something, people assume (and often rightly so) he is showing disrespect.

    It's all in how you cook it. Mayweather is a slow cooker. Hatton is a freaking industrial pizza oven. Everyone likes fast pizza.

    To answer the question; Mayweather came off as mocking Mexico. Hatton had commented well before the fight about how much he respected Latino fighters, and he was seen as honoring them.

    Also, don't you know that big sombreros are the "in" thing right now. With global warming and all, big sombreros are quickly becoming a household item.

    Sombreros; not just for Mexicans anymore!

    Roger Mayweather was called the mexican assasin and had that mexican stuff= Floyd mocking mexican people (his shirt was provocative too)

    Hatton on the other side, said that mexicans like his fighting style and he wears it due to respect

    Gotta admit though I thought Floyd pulled it off better. Hatton's looked like it was out of the bargain bin. What Floyd lacks in excitement he has in the Sombrero wearing stakes.:happy
