    I still don't think you understand me Neil.

    I'm not complaining about anything. The fight should have happened at 147 really, because Floyd was the superstar, and he was fighting at 147, he had been for 2 years.

    My point is very, very simple, no ulterior motive, no hidden agenda - Floyd could not have made 140 as easily as Hatton.

    Having been at welterweight for 2 years and packing on a few solid pounds of muscle (just as Pacquiao has done since 135), he would either have to lose twice as much water as when he previously weighed in at 140, OR lose muscle. Obviously neither one is good, and at that point he would have had to weaken himself considerably to get to 140.

    Just like Pacquiao would have to do right now to get to 135.

    Anyone who can't understand that is a retard.

    well then answer this simple question. what do you think would have occurred if mayweather jr fought hatton at super lightweight immediately after he fought gatti ? would hatton have been more competitive than when they actually fought?

    Nope, the fight would have been very similar. Even at 140, Floyd was physically strong. Floyd would have LESS of a physical strength advantage if they fought then, but ultimately it wouldn't have made much difference.

    If Floyd had to make 140 after 2.5 years, it would have been different to when Floyd actually fought at 140.

    Because he would have been more weakened by the weight than Hatton, he wouldn't have had the same physical strength advantage, and it would have been a less physical fight, but Floyd still would have won decisively. Possibly by decision though.

    No he couldn't. Not without losing enough water or muscle to be noticeably weaker than at 147.

    As for the second line, sure, like I said, that's not the point.

    He would lose muscle and water... But Hatton was a fat ass drunk and would have even more trouble

    It was excess weight, and Hatton was obviously good at losing it. He had no trouble making 140, as he proved by continuing to make it with ease right up to the Pacquiao fight.

    I'd get your basic arithmetic right before you make petty aspersions on people intelligence, smarty pants.

    And just so you know, purely for knowings sake, if somebody spoke to me in real life like you have here we'd have fairly serious problems, rapidly. You obnoxious child.

    Good to know mate. Thus ends the Floyd-Hatton debate.

    Unless you've trained to fight at a competitive level, I'd fuck you up in 10 to 20 seconds, you ignorant child.

    Pretty big difference between even a decent amateur boxer, and a retarded heathen from Glasgow such as yourself.

    By the way, my basic arithmetic was right, unless you care to tell me what 9 - 2 and 11 + 2 is :lol:

    I'm not getting into this internet chest puffing stuff. I don't care if I'd win or you'd win, it wouldn't be relevant to my thought process. If I'm spoken to the way you speak to people a buck40 shit level amateur boxer would cause me about as much apprehension as a warm bath. Beyond that I'm not making any more petty claims.

    But we're veering towards stingerkarl level douchness here. Suffice to say, your constant need to insult everyone that disagrees with you, your total inability to even consider that you're wrong, ever, your total lack of magnanimity in petty debates, regardless of who's right or wrong & general conceitedness are strange traits for and mark you out as a knobend.

    Actually you're veering towards that level of doucheness, you're the one who started real life tough guy talk. I'm a professional adult, I don't do the internet tough guy thing these days.

    If you think you're tough, feel free to come down to Brighton and see for yourself.
    You'd get KO'd before you knew what hit you, literally. People that haven't boxed don't even see the punches coming.

    And from your response, it's clear you haven't trained to fight, and haven't experienced the difference between an average tough guy like yourself, and an average amateur level boxer or MMA fighter.

    I'm often wrong, like I said before. I make wrong judgements and pick fights wrong all the time. It's the way things go.

    On this particular topic though, I'm 100% right, and anyone who thinks that Floyd having packed on a few pounds of muscle over 2.5 years could make 140 as easily as Hatton, or as easily as he did before is a total fucking retard.

    By the way regarding your arithmetic comment, once again you only served to demonstrate your limited intellect, as you have done over and over again in this thread.

    If you had a modicum of common sense or an IQ of at least 90, you should have used the power of lateral thought to determine that maybe, just maybe, the poll read 11 to 9 when I made that post :lol:

    I must say, the funniest part of this entire thread for me, more than thinking Floyd could make 140 as easily, funnier than the internet tough guy stuff, is the arithmetic stuff.

    I work with fairly complex 3D vector maths and matrices 7 days a week, sometimes 12 to 14 hours a day, and some shelf stacker is questioning my arithmetic skills because he lacks the braincells required to deduce that the poll read 11 to 9 at the time :lol: Holy fuck.

    Hut Hut can't even tally scores in his prediction championship. He has about a 50% success rate of adding up scores consisting of 90% integers. Add a few floats in there and his brain is on the brink of collapse.

    Anyway kids, the thread has been fun, I hope you've enjoyed it.

    I almost bit and went to type out my academic grades, etc. You really are quite grating. But i won't. Since my lack of care in the predictions league is such a big issue for you, consider yourself retired from the competition for as long as Im taking my time to do it. I'll fucked in the arse with a fiery stick before I spend 30 more seconds of my spare time doing you the merest favour you piece of shit.

    That's pretty funny. "Academic grades". :lol:

    They don't mean anything. You probably stack shelves for a living. Why don't you post your academic accomplishments for lolz?

    And fear not, I had no desire to continue playing in your shitty prediction championship, especially seeing as I have to double check my scores because you're too fucking stupid to add up a few whole numbers.

    I think I'll take a step back from this. I'm getting sucked into a vortex of dickhead-dom here. You're welcome to take part in the silly league if you want and by all means continue to double check your scores. I have allot to add up, from posts all over the the shop on the previous thread, the scoring system is pretty complex and I generally did them in a rush, so please do double check them, it's a help to me.

    Later.

    I'm not bragging, just stating facts. I used to box, and now I work with maths every single day. No bragging. I'm not saying I'm a great fighter or mathematician.

    "Protip" is for losers.

    Stating facts and bragging aren't mutually exclusive.

    Sure, what I was doing was stating facts, not bragging. I even laughed at the idea of training in Karate and TKD, because they are so gay.

    Bragging would be saying I'm an awesome fighter and earn hundreds of thousands a year.

    Not saying "I've trained to fight and work with maths" you fucktard.

    Really, that doesn't look like bragging to you? You have a remarkable ability to delude yourself. You're coming off like an uberdouche, I would just leave this thread if I were you.

    Both statements are just stating facts.

    In the same way that I would get obliterated by a world class fighter in 10 to 20 seconds, I would do the same thing to the average Joe.
