but for the first 4,5 round he had Floyd in very uncomfortable situations even though Floyd was most likely winning most of the rounds. I think Floyd and Castillo pressured Floyd the best. What are your thoughts? Do you think anyone else not named Castillo and Hatton can make things uncomfortable for Floyd. I just don't see Cotto doing it cause he doesn't have Hatton's fire and energy nor Castillo's chin and resiliance but is anybody else there that can make Floyd feel that uncomfortable. I thought hatton in the first half of the fight had Floyd feeling less at easte than in his fight against DLH.

I don't think Pacman is the man because he is an in and out, jump in get out type of a fighter. He doesn't really cut off the ring and bullies you to the ropes. This is the only strategy that could work against Floyd and to my memory only Castillo and Hatton had success where one could argue that Castillo won the first fight, yet he clearly lost the second one against FM.

Nobody is making Hatton to be this great fighter. Hatton was a very good fighter. He was a good fighter on Floyd's resume that's why Floyd likes to talk about it. Hatton gave his all and gave Floyd a difficult time early on.

Hatton was a good fighter..."very good" is a bit of a stretch. The only reason the Hatton/Mayweather fight was exciting, was because of the stumble in the first round, the wrestling, and those loud as Brit fans (loved 'em). Floyd only talks good about that Hatton fight, because Hatton's fans were incredible, and Hatton is an incredible clip on Floyd's highlight reel...not to mention that the UK fans love him now.

Hatton at 140 was a better fighter than Cotto at 140

There was nothing special about Ricky...I still dont get where you're coming from...

Hatton was never a Zaghe, he was a "B" class fighter but he was very solid. It's easy to look at Hatton as trash after what Pacman did to him but Pacman did that to a lot of fighters including Morales.

Hatton was never a Calzaghe, and Calzaghe was never an elite fighter (in my opinion)...they were both B level fighters at best. I could care less what Pacquiao did to Hatton, it was eventually going to happen again. Trust me, I looked at Hatton as trash waaaay before the Pac fight, so he covered that department well.

Pacquiao beat Morales in the rematch...AFTER getting his ass handed to him in the first fight, AFTER Morlaes was in a grueling trilogy with Barrera, AFTER he lost those last two of the three fights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) So its safer to leave Morales out of this flimsy comparison of a guy getting knocked the fuck out (Hatton) vs a guy who got dropped a few times (Morales) by Pac.

Where is Morales after two Pacquiao losses? Yep you got it...STILL fighting. Where's Hatton after one Pacquiao loss? Yep you got it...playing with his nose and killing buffets. No comparison sir...

Now Zaghe was the truth!

You must do bumps of coke with Ricky???

Nobody has punked Hopkins like Joe did. Holding for dear life, going to the wrong corner three times, faking an injury, crying to the ref and posing as if he wants to fight only to hold and headbutt and avoid being beat down. Hopkins is great but if he didn't hold and run, and faked and cried Zaghe would've did him worse and he fought him at 175. Can no one hate on that.

Yet and still....the majority had Hopkins winning that fight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Calzaghe landed a handful of clean punches the whole night... he was put on his ass.. he was given a gift decision.

Thank you....

you are using that to beef up Cal's gift win..

There's been a lot of beefing up in this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Typical hater! It's cool bro you can hate but the Italian Dragon punked Hopkins.
He had him spooked way back, the weigh-in was funny too, Bernard was mad as hell and then come fight night he was crawling like a turtle looking for that deep water.
I know it must suck that a white boy beat the big bad wolf, but shit happens. Yeah Zaghe does coke too but no thanks to Bhop that's for damn sure LOL
