After analyzing Ricky Hatton....

Floyd doesn't need to leave his weight division to prove his greatness, but it would be nice if he'd clean out a division.

He's staked this claim at 147 by fighting a 154 and a 140 lber.

The guy is great, but there is a lot more to do before his claim is solidified (unless the other guys pick each other off, I guess).

 

you mean he's taken the RJJ approach to stardom and contract milking?

 

PBF needs to have at least one fight he's not favored to win. Or one in which he's even money. I think this could come against a guy like Cotto, Margarito or Williams.

Even a bout with Cintron would prove PBF's ability to deal with a hard-hitting full fledged welter-weight who is in his prime. Because neither ODH nor Hatton fit that bill.

But I guess when I really look inward as to why I want him to fight the Margaritos and the Williams, it's because I desperately want to see him lose. So in that respect, it could be the smartest thing for him to avoid those guys. And there seems to be more than enough ignorance when it comes to PBF and his career for it to not hurt his legacy if he never does fight any of those guys.

 

If Floyd was a legit champ, he'd go up to heavyweight and fight Wlad.

 

Floyd would be favoured over all three. in your mind, perhaps not...but if you're going by that then He already fought De La Hoya!:tease:

 

Floyd would be favored to beat all 3 of those guys, and for good reason. And Cintron is way too slow, and mentally weak to beat Floyd. I think Floyd would stop Kermit the fraud, despite being smaller.

For Floyd to be an underdog in a fight, he'd have to move up to 160 and fight Pavlik. Cause anybody else below 160 he'd be favored to beat.

 

Look how beautifully and quick that hatton cut off

the ring. He did an excellent job of cutting off the ring and moving inside. Even then he couldn't time floyd, most of the time. the only person who will beat floyd will have to have superhuman speed and above average power.
