Why does Floyd get no credit for his victories above Welter??

Yes it does, Hatton has proved that at welterweight he's nothing special. Just cause you're natural at a weight class doesn't mean you can't step up. Calzaghe a natural SMW beat a top 5 P4P in Hopkins at LHW. De La Hoya went up to 160 from JMW and got beat by Hopkins and got a gift against Sturm. Some people can do it, some can't. Mayweather can, as he beat DLH at 154. Hatton can't.

 

See you seem to think Hatton had extra poundage when he fought Mayweather. He didn't. Hatton weighed 160 when he fought Collazo.

When he fought Mayweather he weighed 154. That's what he normally weighs on fight night as a JR WW.

 

Oh come on,don't come with that weighs more on fight night thing,everybody knows Hatton walks around 180-185,Floyd walks around 159-160,that doesn't matter.Hatton fight was nothing in the WW division

 

It means if he was a real motha****a he would have fought Hatton at JWW

 

Yeah and he proved in both of those fights he should not be fighting at WW. Like I said some can move up and do fine and some can't. I give credit to Mayweather for his win against Hatton. But it's not as big as some people make it out to be.

 

I give credit for his victory over Hatton no doubt. But it's not even close to one of his top wins.

 

Being completely objective, Judah, Hatton, and Hoya were all good wins. Bladomir was a solid win because of his status at the time.

 

Floyd doesn't walk around at 160.

 

It would have made sense at 140 cuz it would have been for the linear 140 lb title.

 

Yes he does you idiot,he was at a party recently and said he was 158 and a half but in shape.He was 159 at the weigh-in for the Big Show ''fight''

 

They sure did and I was here back then when the debates would go on.:good

 

Exactly,it favored Mayweather cuz he was at WW longer,felt better there,as Ricky is **** at WW cuz he doesn't carry the weight good,Floyd would have died to make 140 and would have favored Ricky at 140
