    why do people keep sayning dat you act like Hatton is a chump off da street i mean yea he just started fighting in America but dont knock em dat hard even tho i think Hatton is a hyped up boxer like roy used to be it still should be a cool fight and maybe a set up for Mosley.

    Really i dont think he afraid of sugar its just not a smart fight rite now if sugar proves himself against cotto then Floyd should give him a shot cuz shane fell off the map a bit playa.

    sugar doesn't have to prove himself, he is most likely going to retire after the cotto fight.

    I think it's dumb to fault PBF for fighting Hatton. It's clearly a fight he should have made previously!!!

    It should most certainly not be the end, there are more challenges remaining.

    PBF has been calling Shane out since Shane left lightweight.

    Now he's supposed to just bow to Shane's requests?

    Cmon Trouble.

    That's BULL****!!!!!!

    PBf mentioned DLH all those years NOT SHANe, just more gibberish bubbling from Floyd's lips.

    Actually he did call out Shane when he was younger. He wasn't a big draw than so Shane didn't listen and fought De La Hoya. And the only person Floyd should have fought was Kotsya Tsyzu.

    What the **** do you people want??? If he fights Mosely, he is just going after the older, post-prime fighter, if he fights Cotto people will bring up cotto's shaky chin and sub-par defense. If he fights Hatton, he is going after the smaller man!!!!

    Let's look at what pepole said before and after Floyd's last few fights:

    Gatti-Before: He is relentless and has a big heart and can get to Floyd's body and give him fits. After: Gatti was shot

    Baldy-Before: Floyd's never faced a fighter as big and strong and won't be able to handle him. After: Baldy never had a chance....He was overrated

    Judah- Before: Judah's speed, footwork, and southpaw stance will be enough to beat Floyd. After: Judah was all hype.

    Oscar- Before: Oscar will KO Floyd.....Too tall.......Too much power....
    After: Oscar is old and way past it.

    Do you see the trend?

    The only fighters of recent years who have fought the best possible opposition are Oscar, Tito, and Holyfield. That's it!!!!

    Then what would that make Sharmba Mitchell when he fought Floyd? A tumbleweed blowing down a Texas highway?

    I wonder what some of you think of Hatton's opposition. We go on for days about Floyd's opponents but if we compared their two records the Hatton huggers, Floyd hatters, what have you; would be eating crow.

    Anyone who is still searching for chinks and questions his quality of opposition is one of the above.
