Will Floyd run the entire fight against the 5'6" Hatton?

Ive listed several reasons why I consider him a coward - if you want to address those points feel free, if not you are only further proving those points to be valid.

 

Why so he can stand and trade with a bigger an stronger man and possibly get knocked out so you can discredit everything he's done in his career and call him a fraud?:-( Most boxers talk **** before the fight it's called selling the fight.atsch Hell Oscar said he was going to KO PBF but did it happen?:deal

 

First off no boxer is a coward for getting in the ring in the first place so lets get that out of the way right now. You throw around that word to loosely.:nono By calling PBF a coward right off the bat you lose credibility right there. If you can't admit to that then why even have a discussion?
Fights don't happen for a number of reasons the money isn't right or a conflict between promoters or maybe timming but it's not because one fighter is scarred of another one like you make it out to be.:deal

 

difference is DLH actually tried to back his words up. . . Fraud had no intention of even trying to back up his big mouth. I he had said "hey Im gonna outbox him" or "Im gonna give him a boxing lesson" - that would earn more respect.

When Toney said to RJJ b4 they fought "put on yer track shoes biitch". . . RJJ replied "thats my game".

 

Bullshiit. My friend has alot of cops in his family and frined etc . . .he knows a cop who drives the other way when he hears a call on the radio involving domestic violence with a weapon - he's a cop and he's a coward. Fruad runs the other way when he has a real top threat Winky/Margarito etc (arguably KT and a prime Shane as well). He has proven himself . . .er herself to be a coward more than once.

 

You see what I mean.?atsch
What you fail to realize is that in boxing there are many different styles and some are sluggers, some are boxer punchers PBF is a defensive counter-puncher. I can appreciate all styles but you seem to have a problem with his. Just because you don't agree with the way he handles his business in the ring doesn't make him a coward and most here will agree with me on this. You sound like someone who really doesn't understand boxing or have some kind of deep irrational hate for a man you don't know when you say stupid **** like that. Another thing is when PBF fought at 130, 135 and 140 he took more risks in the ring because he was fighting men his size. Watch his earlier fights if you don't believe me. If you're going to move up to a weightclasses that people are bigger you're going have to box more in order to be successful or you will be KOed by bigger and stronger men and only a fool or irrational hater like yourself would continue to argue otherwise.:deal

 

Amen to that:good

 

Great post dude.

 

There is no doubt that Mayweather was more offensive when he was fighting at 130, 135 and 140. None the less it's kind of irrittating to see him pot shot Baldomir to death, when he could of been at least more offensive. I'm a fan of the sweet swience and I appreciate counter-punchers, but just because he's in a heigher weight class is no excuse for him to pot shot his opponents all night. I've seen his earlier fights and they were exciting no doubt, but how is he going to win potshotting guys like Cotto or Clottey? On top of that he's also a ***** when picking his opponents. He chose to fighy Ricky Hatton who's not even a welterweight, but I think your seriously underestimating Hatton if you think he's one dimensional. I see the fight as 50-50, closer than most of you guys think. I think the fight with Hatton and Collazo was just a bad night for Hatton, because he showed against Urango that he can box.

 

atsch ...He pot shot baldomir because baldomir was 162lb in the ring with floyd..it would have been dumb for him to stand there and that would have made the fight easier than baldomir..also clottey doesnt deserve to fight floyd he already lost to margarito and baldomir..the only one that deserves to fight floyd is cotto

 

I respect your opinion and I think we are almost on the same page. PBF just fought at 154 a weight he has no business at and beat Oscar a truely great accomplishment. He tried to fight Hatton back in 2005 at 140 after Hatton beat Zoo but was turned down more than once. This fight is unfinished business that has to be resolved. PBF is really a 140 pound fighter so the fight being at 147 is a non factor really, especially when Ricky on fight night for his fights at 140 weighs-in close to 150. I think PBF will win but I don't think it will be easy.:good

 

Yes it would of been dumb, but I'm not saying he should of trade blow for blow with him, but he could of been more offensive. Guys like Ray Leonard will always give what the fans want, and beat there opponents down.

 

Thank you Pimp C and others for holding down the fort and telling it like it is. Floyd running from hatton would be pointless. Hatton is only a threat when he is right in your face. Other then that floyd would stand dead in front of him at normal range and beat the **** out of him. If hatton tries to grapple and hold him when he gets in breathing distance you damned right floyd is going to stay at range to avoid the wrestling.

 

Yes Floyd will run. What makes Hatton any different than Baldomir or Castillo?

 

Floyd is comparably sized to Hatton unlike he was against DLH and Baldomir and so does not have a massive size/strength disadvantage to compensate with boxing ability. Therefore he will show more aggression but he a defensive counter-puncher and hatton is a brawler so its a no brainer how the fight will look. Hatton knows that he has NO CHANCE to outbox PBF so he will not even try it (unlike poor Gatti) and he'll bulldoze forward all night so PBF will be forced onto the backfoot by Hatton's style. It's hardly rocket science.
