    Such a poorly formulated attack. Not worth getting into.

    Hatton loses to Mayweather regardless of the weight. It's laughable how people try to play this off.

    The difference Hatton felt when he fought Floyd was the difference between fighting the rest of the world, then fighting the absolute best in the world.

    Hearns fought Duran beyond Welterweight. I will never consider Hearns an all-timer with this question mark looming over him. It is obvious that Duran wasn't at his best at 154lbs. Cherry-picked win for the known coward that is Hearns.

    Floyd weighed 147 against Hatton. All Hatton felt was the turnbuckle after he got check hooked, that was the difference.

    That's bull****. It should have been a clear mismatch to most, but I don't recall anyone actually attacking Mayweather for fighting Gatti at the time. Gatti was ranked as the #1 contender to Tszyu and then Hatton by RING that year leading into the fight, and there were really no other feasible opponents for Mayweather. The fight got a decent amount of hype in the boxing press and mainstream media, and a lot of "experts" and fans alike gave Gatti a good shot.

    As time has passed, the win for Mayweather has been maligned to the point where he's been chastised for even taking the fight, but most of this is identifiable as absurd revisionism to people who can remember what was going on all of three years ago without bias.

    In any fight there are always some people who pick the underdog...that will always happen. Just because some people give into the hype doesn't mean it was a good fight. Gatti was a good name and entertaining, thats why is got hype.

    Most people knew it was going to be one sided (maybe not that one sided) and it wasn't a popular match-up. People WERE attacking Floyd before this fight, I even remember reading an article about it. Floyd won in stunning fashion, but it didn't do much for his record, just his pocket.

    This guy along with Aztec Warrior are imo the two worst posters on this forum.. What a ****ing pathetic illogical thread.

    I sense a pattern with most of his threads but I'm not even going to go there

    What extra weight?



    He weighed 160 against Collazo on fight night.


    He weighed 152 against Paulie on fight night.

    He weighed 154 against Mayweather on fight night.

    we will laugh at you?? are you ****in serious, name a better welterweight at the time when floyd moved up and fought judah and baldomir? pretty sure they were the last lineal champs at welterweight... cotto was still at 140 at the time, paul williams maybe had 20 fights and margie lost to santos.

    you are the one that deserves laughed at!!

    He couldn't of fought Zoo. Zoo is/was a Showtime contract fighter. Floyd is an HBO contract fighter.

    Are you stupid?

    Floyd doesn't want Pac. On his facebook he said he's not coming back for a Pac fight.
