To become great, you have to have at least 45 to 50 fights under your belt with very few losses. You don't avoid fighters when the compitition picks up. You have had your time to pout and party, now it's time to get down to becoming a legend like Roy Jones Jr. (the greatest). His losses came from age not from running. His competition just wasn't on his level in the multiple divisions he ruled. He will be respected more when he's gone. Mayweather needs to do the same. STEP UP YOUR GAME. LETS SEE IF YOU CAN BACK IT UP. Start with Manny and Margarito.
or Kostya Tszyu
or Joe Frazier

man, i shake my head at some of the logic on this board. Its almost as if whole careers dont even count anymore.
Who did Floyd KO from 135 to 154? Only Hatton?
I guess if i started watching boxing as soon as pacman meant something, i guess i too would disregard floyds entire career, ring intelligence and experience in favor of a triangle theory of bull****.

Family members told Mayweather's hometown paper, the Grand Rapids Press, that Floyd Jr. advised some of them of his comeback plan moments after Pacquiao stopped Oscar De La Hoya in eight rounds in Las Vegas last Saturday night.

mayweather is a great hall of fame fighter with damn near impenetrable defense. however, floyd hasn't faced a fighter with the workrate, n tenacity that pacman brings. factor in the speed at which his punches come through and the awkward angles they connect and I see floyd getting frustrated. either floyd steps up to the challenge and releases his inner beast or pacquiao will make history YET AGAIN. i still think it will be a great fight that can go either way.

For boxing to survive as a sport it needs to hype fights better.
Hatton fighting Pacquiao makes sense. If Pac wins, we see Mayweather vs Pacquiao battle for the undisputed P4P title and if Hatton wins we see Hatton-Mayweather 2 in the UK.
Either way, 2 fights are better for the sport than one.
