i thought the problem was pbf was fighting older fighters passed his prime.
judah was in his prime buy judah is washed up mentally.
this guys sayed that cotto beat judah worse then pbf, because cotto stoped him.but he forgets the low blow zab hit pbf with wich was a desperation move so he would not get knocked out.
so thats the only reason pbf did not stop zab, cotto hit judah with crushing low blows that weakend judah mentally and physically.
now you have a young hatton who is prime and just koed castillo, a guy that still to this day gave pbf is hardest fight.not to mention hatton is a top 10 p4p fighter.i have him at 10 some might have him higher then that.
pbf does not have to fight ever single guy in ww division does he ? so many great fighter at that weight he can fight them all.
this guy sayed that pbf needs to fight mosley or cotto or williams.well not to long ago pbf tryed to fight mosley and cotto and neither man wanted to fight him for what ever reason.but now that pbf is the man to beat they all want to fight them, well then they can wait i think.
pbf wants hatton and hatton he should get and if he wins then he gets all the credit in the world.
hatton is not a natural ww but pbf is not either.you got guys at ww that make 147 and come in fight night at 160 were pbf has never weighed over 150 in his life.the size between hatton and pbf is the same.pbf is skilled fighter and thats the reason why he can fight at higher weight classes.
this guys is bias i think. if he fights mosley, then i get to read how pbf only wants to fight guys passed there primes.hatton and cotto or both undefeated and tryed to fight them for the last 2 yrs and mosley and after pbf win over odh now they all want to fight.well the made him wait so they can wait i think.

in conclusion...a moronic article

[TroubleLurks]

Floyd runs around bragging about calling out Mosley. Now Mosley comes calling...which he has been since BEFORE the Baldomir fight. Why won't Floyd face him now? WTF? He wants Hatton instead. The same Hatton that turned him down before. Shane has been calling Floyd out since before the Baldomir fight time and time again. Hatton says ONE thing about Floyd and the fight is a done deal. Floyd wants none of Mosley. Period. Fact.

[Marnoff]

I thought the article was a joke. It's too bad, because I've liked some of his other work.

It's terrible that people are insulting Floyd for fighting Hatton.

[Marnoff]

Because if Floyd beats Mosley he's another 35 year old fighter and it'd be just like his win over Oscar and he'd get no credit.

If Floyd signed to fight Mosley he's taking the easy fight against an old man and avoiding Hatton.

Now Floyd signed to fight Hatton (who's a prime, undefeated, hungry champion) and he's avoiding the fight with Mosley.

He should just have a triple threat match like in wrestling. Everytime Hatton gets tired he can just tag in Mosley to fight for him...

No, then he'd be ducking Cotto and even Williams. They deserve the right to tag in also.

I think you have your timeline mixed up. Floyd wanted to fight Shane in November, Shane said he wasn't fighting again that year. After he couldn't secure a fight with Shane, Floyd settled on Baldomir.

[Marnoff]

Oh yeah, Cotto and Williams will interfere with the match, and just to make it fair Williams gets a chair.

But then theres Cintron and Margarito (still) ....

Good point. Can't argue.

how is this a fact ? didn't PBF try to fight mosely when Mosely was at 135 and pbf at 130? and didn't mosely say no? didn't pbf call out mosely and was willing to move up after mosely beat Dlh. and mosely said no PBF has tried before in the past mosely wanted no part . im not saying he'll beat mosely we just know mosely wants no part . and mosely had his chance but he chose to take a vacationand get his chicklet fixed

[TroubleLurks]

I think you have your timeline mixed up. Floyd wanted to fight Shane in November, Shane said he wasn't fighting again that year. After he couldn't secure a fight with Shane, Floyd settled on Baldomir.You are right. Mosley was wanting Floyd right after the Baldomir fight. My bad. Mosley even said he would be at the post fight interviews calling Floyd out. Mosley was calling Floyd out right after the Baldo fight. My fault.

[TroubleLurks]

how is this a fact ? didn't PBF try to fight mosely when Mosely was at 135 and pbf at 130? and didn't mosely say no? didn't pbf call out mosely and was willing to move up after mosely beat Dlh. and mosely said no PBF has tried before in the past mosely wanted no part . im not saying he'll beat mosely we just know mosely wants no part . and mosely had his chance but he chose to take a vacationand get his chicklet fixedYes. PBF wanted Mosley. However, Floyd wasn't even a name back then. Shane left 135 and moved up 2 weight classes to fight a prime Oscar. Hardly "ducking" as Floyd likes to claim. And Floyd had nothing to say after Mosley beat Oscar the first time so you are mistaken on that one.

[KO Boxing]

in conclusion...a moronic article
Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm gonna note the author of the article and make sure I NEVER read anything from him again.

:patsch

[TroubleLurks]

Basically. He is fighting the best people, get over yourselves.Best people my ass. Hatton lost to Collazo if you have eyes. Mosley almost shut Collazo out. Hatton is going to get torched. You know, I know it and Floyd knows it. Hatton is NOT the biggest threat to Floyd. Agree or disagree?

[Sweet Scientist]

I just made a thread about this bullshit yesterday, and here we go today with another article criticizing Floyd for making the biggest fight that could probably be made in the sport. People are really biting the hand that feeds them because we are getting great matchups and instead of celebrating, more people insist on complaining and whining about ducking. Give me a break.

so now pbf is scared of a man he called out before the vargas fight and after both vargas fights.mosley had his reasons both times why he was not going to fight floyd at the moment.now that shane is older and pbf is the man to beat and his has or at least he feels has the best chance in beating floyd he wants to fight him now.

when pbf said jump shane did not say how high and now that shane is saying jump why should pbf say how high.besides pbf fight hatton next does not mean he want fight shane afterwards or before its all said and done.

i mean if hatton has the style to beat pbf and all that other bs people say and dont really believe(atleast i hope not) then why isnt pbf getting more credit for fighting the tough hatton.

he gone fight shane and when he do im bitching again, because the same people who are fake pissed by pbf's choice to fight hatton and not shane, will be talking more shit when pbf fights him and they say pbf waited to long and shane is to old.back to the pbf only wants to fight passed prime fighters again.

besides hatton is the best fighter at the same time easier fight he can beat right now, so to me it would atleast make sence to take out the top p4p 10 guy or higher 1st and then the rest, im mean save the best for last right.

pbf aint scared of shane and vice verca, but pbf can fight when he feels like, shane did it twice so now what.

[ajohnfp]

I think Hatton is one of the best fights, if not the best fight, available. This is bullshit.

[TroubleLurks]

I think Hatton is one of the best fights, if not the best fight, available. This is bullshit.
Go watch Hatton vs Collazo.
Then watch Mosley vs Collazo and get back to me.

[platnumpapi]

i was thinking the same thing, at the end of the day pbf vs hatton is like duran vs sugar only diff is duran was better then hatton and pbf and srl i think are diff but about the same in fighting skill.

but the stlyes are more comaparable i think, but if im right and its like duran vs srl then there are only two things that can happen.

duran - hatton moves up in weight and takes the title from pbf in stunning fashion !

or

hatton - duran vs srl- pbf beats and runs(boxes) duran - hatton into a nomas sisuation.

which one is more likely happen ? the hel if i no this is boxing anything can happen.but just going own my boxing knowlege i say pbf will win this by late tko or wide ud.

[paulfv]

Go watch Hatton vs Collazo.
Then watch Mosley vs Collazo and get back to me.
Yep, particularly at 147.

PBF's a "bok-bok"er, but he's not dumb

The #1 P4P fighter is always going to catch heat for not facing _________ (insert name). Who do you honestly think is the bigger threat to Floyd? Hatton or Mosley? Yes Hatton is undefeated and in his prime. Yes Mosley is older with 4 losses. Still, who do you think would pose the bigger risk to Floyd losing his 0?

Ummm Floyd called out Mosely offered a November date, but Mosely had a "toothache"; sorry real fighters dont turn down 50-50 vs. the best p4p fighter because of a toothache when you have 7 months to prep for the fight. Mosely had his chance, passed it up, and if he beats Cotto he'll get his shot.

Mosely comes calling after turning down the challenge.

[TroubleLurks]

Mannnn I remember these same Anti-Floyd people about 2 months ago saying Hatton would destroy Floyd and Floyds ducking Hatton.


Listen, I want you to actually sit down and think about this one...

If Floyd was to sign the fight with Shane, and was to beat him, could you honestly say that you wouldnt critisize him for fighting a 35-36 year old man? Can you honestly say that your not going to say that Shane was past his prime after 4 losses and completley ignore his 2 wins over Vargas and win over Collazo? And can you honestly say that you wouldn't be saying he was ducking the young, in-his-prime Hatton if he fought Mosley?Listen, I love Hatton. I would love to see him win. But lets be real for a second. You obviously are a boxing fan...this fight will be a one-sided blowout. Book it. No matter how bad I want Hatton to win, it's curtains. So no, I wouldn't give Floyd any shit for facing the "old man Mosley" over a prime Hatton. "Old man Mosley" would get brought up on chareges if he faced Hatton.

[KO Boxing]

Close thread?

[Lance_Uppercut]

Floyd vs. Hatton is a damn good fight @ 140. Floyd vs. Hatton @ 147 when there are better opponents is a different story.

[TroubleLurks]

Mosely comes calling after turning down the challenge.Ummm, you are incorrect. Mosley would have had around 3 months to prepare for the Nov fight with Floyd witch would have been his 3rd fight in 2006. How many 34 year old fighters fight 3 times in one year? And oh by the way, your third fight will be against the worlds #1 P4P fighter. Give me a break with that shit. Mosley stated BEFORE the Vargas rematch that he was taking the rest of the year off. Floyd knew exactly what he was doing when he made that "challenge".

[TroubleLurks]

Close thread?
Now you can close it.

[KO Boxing]

Now you can close it.
:lol:

Nice comeback mate. I'm seriously not here to argue. (although if I could close it, I would)

We got Floyd vs Hatton and Cotto vs Mosely... Winners facing off. Do BOXING fans really have a problem?

All your doing by flaming Floyd is falling into "human nature", or "animal instincts"...

For some reason, we always have to rip on those who are on top of the mountain. Look at Roy's career.

[The Italarican]

Mayweather vs. Hatton is good for Mayweather, good for Hatton, and good for boxing. It's sad there are still people out there who won't give Mayweather an inch of credit, but I have to say it's refreshing that there are many who are giving him proper respect for going this route.

[berlon]

I want to see Maywether fight Cotto. Ok, so what Cotto didnt take the fight earlier. Leonard didn't fight hagler untill years later. and lets not forget that Loenard fought hearns a second times many years afterwards. If anything, Cotto is ready Mentally. he has been in there with guys who were much faster than he. Maywether dosent want to fight anyone at top notch condition. Period. Cottos ready; he has the power to neutralize Mayweather and he is much more skilled and YOUNGER than Boldamir. I would like to see someone that can put Mayweather on the fight game as a GREAT fighter because of his competition and the intensity of his fights; not on his skills

someone sayed pbf is fight the best fighters and you sayed he was not.i dont feel like quoteing it but you know what im talking about.but i think he was right, pbf is fight the best guys just not in the order you or who ever wants him to fight them in.

to answer your question, these are the fighters who have the best chance in beating pbf.

1shane mosley
2oscar delahoya
3cotto
4hatton
5margo

actually its a tie between margo and hatton but margo loss his last and ricky won his last so im giving ricky a little more credit then margo for now !!

now out of all those fighters, who has he beat and who is he fighting and what number are then in in terms of beating pbf or having the best chance to.

2oscar he beat
4hatton he is fighting

he alreay tryed to talk to shane shane was def so now he is def to shane for NOW.

i really dont see the problem in this, i just think people want to bitch about him for anything they can think of.

if cotto was to beat ssm and pbf fought him instead of shane then does that mean pbf just ducked and hid scared to death of mosley :huh

It's not all Mayweather's fault for it not happening. Sorry mate. I know with Mosely in your avatar it might be hard to agree to that, but it's the plain and simple truth. Mayweather-Mosely didn't happen because of Mayweather AND Mosely. And some would argue moreso because of Mosely, but let's leave that for another thread (and you can argue that with another poster)

Every heard the saying... Takes two to tango?

[The Italarican]

What a joke. Mayweather-Mosley is good for boxing. This will be a one sided beat down and you know it. How's that good for boxing?

The combination of Hatton's rising status and increasing U.S. popularity is what makes this good for boxing. There has never been as much attention on Mayweather OR Hatton since their last fights. In other words, their fame is at an all-time high right now.

To top it off, Hatton's pressure, even if he's unsuccessful, appeals to a lot of fans (even though he frustrates me to watch).

Look, I know you like Mosley, and it would be great if a Mayweather-Mosley fight goes down, but when you respond to the idea of the exposure, the potential excitement, and the legitimacy of a Hatton-Mayweather fight with "what a joke," you've allowed your passion for one fighter to cloud your judgment.

[The Italarican]

Ah fuck it. You're right. We got two great fights coming up. Mosley vs. Cotto, Iwantnoneofmosley vs. Hatton. I just like stirring the pot a bit when I get bored.:stir I love getting people all riled up.:hey

Go Gators. :good

[Sheehan]

It's terrible that people are insulting Floyd for fighting Hatton.


Its just hating on mayweather, I dont like the guy but hatton is 43-0 with beating some good fighters (2 of which are great fighters), any half a brain boxing fan would know hatton will be a tough fight.

[brooklyn1550]

When Mayweather fought Judah, people were saying he's ducking Margarito and was taking on a guy who would be a name, but an easy victory

When Mayweather fought De La Hoya, people said he was fighting a part-time fighter and a business man

When Mayweather retired, people were saying he was avoiding real challenges like Hatton, Cotto, Mosley, Williams, and Margarito

If Mayweather fought Mosley, people would say he's ducking Hatton, Cotto, and Williams

If Mayweather fought Cotto, people would say he's ducking Mosley, Hatton, and Williams

If Mayweather fought Williams, people would say he's ducking Hatton, Mosley, and Cotto

Now that Mayweather is fighting Hatton, people are saying he's ducking Cotto, Mosley, and Williams


There are always going to be people saying this kind of stuff, but the bottom line is that Floyd was a part of one of the most anticipated fights in recent vintage and is now ready to participate in a huge matchup between 2 undefeated fighters in their/or around their primes.

[platnumpapi]

Its just hating on mayweather, I dont like the guy but hatton is 43-0 with beating some good fighters (2 of which are great fighters), any half a brain boxing fan would know hatton will be a tough fight.

yeah and the last guy he beat he koed in the 4th round with a body shot and i remember when pbf fought that same guy for the 1st time and i was thinking damn pbf just loss the fight.

so hatton destroys a guy that gave pbf his hardest fight to date.both guys should be commended for fighting each other i think.

[Grabonator]

Oh man what a bullshit article!! Hatton BELONGS to the best available opposition!! hatton may be a naturally 140 and not suited for 147, but mayweather is also a naturally 140, maybe even smaller than Hatton!! Why should Mayweather fight Paul Williams whos a naturall middleweight and comes in at 162 pounds?? that would be insane!! The writer off this article doesnt know what hes talking about!! Cotto is fighting Mosley, maybe Mayweather will fight the winner of this after he beats Hatton!! But i cant stand the autor, mayweather is fighting the highly regarded unbeaten champion rick hatton and he sais hes avoiding the best competition!! Hatton is the best at 140, 2 divisions higher than Floyd was starting at and earning his first champion title!!

[Grabonator]

1shane mosley

Why not Williams?? He really impressed me against Margo. my list would be like this:


1. Cotto
2. Williams
3. Mosley
4. Hatton
5. Oscar
6. Margo

But in the end mayweather would be favourite against all of them but it would be verry dangerous against some of them!

PBF fanatics (PBF fans is a different story) will tell you that Williams does not deserve a shot. They will tell you that he has done nothing to get a shot at PBF. Meanwhile you and I and many other people think that this could/will be a great fight.

[Sug3]

Hatton is strong,because if u watch mosley vs collazo it seemed collazo was stronger than mosley and if u watch hatton vs collazo,ricky was bullying collazo,so hatton is stronger than u think.Mosley can fight and that's what seperates him from floyd,we will see floyd for the first time getting hit everywhere on his body,because wont care where he hit's floyd.Hatton bullied collazo against the ropes all night,collazo had his moment's,but hatton took him out his comfort zone and made collazo complain all night.

I see the same kinda fight with floyd complaining to the ref and hatton taking him out his comfort zone and making floyd fight,floyd will outclass hatton in the center of the ring,but how can mayweather stay in the center of the ring all night.

[Relentless]

pbf wants none of the sugar man, he is scared of POWER BOXING!

sorry dude but you need to STFU !!! shane honestly admitted that floyd had been calling him out since the days of 130 and 135 and shane had turned him down even at 147.. so now that Floyd is the man, he's making Shane wait, just like shane made floyd wait.
I like shane but his decision not to fight floyd when he was in prime and at the top of his game has come back to bite him in the ass big time .
Fact : shane has no one to blame but himself.

[digiram]

Because if Floyd beats Mosley he's another 35 year old fighter and it'd be just like his win over Oscar and he'd get no credit.

He should just have a triple threat match like in wrestling. Everytime Hatton gets tired he can just tag in Mosley to fight for him...

That still wouldn't satisfy the haters. They will say "Why didn't he choose fight Cotto along with the other two on the same night".

but really Hatton is Mayweathers first real test since Castillo.

[jason]

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.

Ok part of this is right y fight Williams that wouldnt be a smart fight but why do you think Hatton is such a good fighter im not knocking ur opinion just would like to know.

[jason]

His record doesnt show it i mean im not saying he is good shit i dont know anything about him but it seems like hes getting extra hype and we havent seen much of him

[jason]

pbf wants none of the sugar man, he is scared of POWER BOXING!

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.

[Relentless]

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

[C Money]

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.

That's BULLSHIT!!!!!!

[Sonny Carson]

That's BULLSHIT!!!!!!

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.

[Johnnyblaze]

What the fuck 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 *****s and questions his quality of opposition is one of the above.
