Wins that don't get enough credit!

All the Mayweather UD wins lately, rubbish.

 

Wladimir/Byrd
When Vitali won the event against Lewis
Margarito/Cintron
Taylor/Hopkins
Hatton/Castillo

 

definetly hatton/castillo,ill mention an old 1 in gatti/rodriguez(mar96) just bcoz ive never seen any1 else mention that fight on here

 

LogDog69,

I fail to see what's "big" about beating Judah. Certainly the most overrated welterweight, must I need to name one.

 

Cotto/Quintana -- I think Carlos is a very talented fighter, and Cotto absolutely drew the blood out of him. Basically made him quit.

Mayweather/Judah -- Prior to the Baldomir fight, people said Judah would be Floyd's toughest matchup. But then the A-game Judah fought Floyd that April, and Mayweather still managed to wear him down with superior skills and intelligence.

 

Hopkins vs De la Hoya and Felix Trinidad

 

I think much better to say all the Bhop wins. :tired :yep

 

Calzaghe/Lacy

 

Whatt that is the most overated win in recent history.

 

Briggs got no credit for KO'ing Liakovich last year

 

I agree with you on Tito but not DLH. Tito had proven power at middleweight, he had destroyed Joppy whom no other middle was or ever has been able to KO since then. He had filled out middleweight quite nicely and even looked bigger than hopkins in some ways, it was the first loss for a prime fighter at a weight that might not have been his best but where he still would have beaten everyone else other than hopkins. Not to mention that Tito was either # 1 or 2 on just about every p4p list at the time. Hopkins was a 3-1 underdog going into this fight

DLH on the other hand was past his prime, significantly outsized by hopkins, had lost to much smaller men already and looked like **** in his only fight at middle (arguably lost it). Hoya was a 6-1 underdog going into the fight and for good reason.


With regard to the original thread question, I think Hatton deserves more credit for his win over Tzyu. people say that Tzyu was old and shot but he was also top 5 p4p, the undisputed champ of the division and a huge favorite over Hatton.

 

It's funny because no one will admit it now but people were calling Lyakhovich the best heavyweight. Then when he goes down, those same people disappear.
