It wasn't going to happen to begin with
This fight was never going to happen to begin with. Once the first part of the negotiations fell apart I knew it wasn't going to happen. These 2 fighters have too much pride and both of them is beyond arrogant. First Pacquiao doesn't except the terms from the first contract and used a simple drug test as an excuse to back out the fight. Now Floyd wants to do the drug test all the way up to the fight. That is ****** keep the 14 day cut off, so there won't be any excuses when you beat him. The money part I really can careless about, because Floyd would be champ by actually beating a champion at 147 and his ppv numbers are always bigger with common opponents.
Everyone try to look at the good side to this. Now neither fighter can continue to take on easy fights. They have to take dangerous opponents who has a chance of winning just to sell ppvs. Paul Williams, Berto, Martinez, Cintron, and etc...

Originally posted by shade darkar View Posti get you now. its just in your previous post when you said "Hatton fought TWICE more after that Luis fight at 147."
we know this anyways, but still those were at light welterweight. whats the point your trying to make?
You dissed Floyd for fighting Hatton at 147 saying Floyd should have fought him at Hatton's best weight. But you want to credit Manny for going up to 140 to fight Hatton, using what you said earlier, Hatton should have fought Manny at Manny's best weight, 130. But he didn't, Hatton made Pac move up to his divison to fight him, which was 140. Floyd made Hatton move up to his divison to fight him, which was 147. Oscar made Floyd move up to his divison to fight him, which was 154. This is boxing, it happens.
Call a spade a spade.

draw because they like Manny and hate Floyd but
from an over all perspective, Manny has yet to
top Floyd.

Pac's hugh surge in popularity after the DLH fight and his spectacular Hatton KO made him the hottest thing in boxing, especially after he confirmed he was moving up to such a competitive division.
He could have been a ***** and asked for more than 50-50 after the Cotto fight did better, but he didn't.

Originally posted by shade darkar View Posti know this. i was trying to show that hatton is not a welterweight. im not saying its fine for hatton to have an advantage, im just showing that its always gotta be floyd with the advantage. we dont know what they weighed on fight night because mayweather always refuses to do so. wonder why?
I've seen many times Floyd's fight night weight on HBO.
Oscar had EVERY ADVANTAGE against Mayweather.
How you feel about that?
What advantages did he have against Hatton?
What advantages did Floyd have against Castillo I & II, Chico, Gernaro Hernandez, Manfredy, Jesus Chavez??

Call a spade a spade.
he had 1 fight at the weight before, didnt look very good all be it he won a title.
im not really saying he should have fought hatton at his best weight. im saying he should have been fighting true welterweights. whilst billy wanted to move to 147 to face floyd, it is still clear that any welterweight would have had physical advantages over hatton. my main issue with that fight was the ref. im pretty certain it wouldnt have changed things much, but that ref didnt let hatton work, the millisecond hatton got on the inside the ref was straight in there.
with the hatton should have fought manny at his best weight, it looks pretty apparent that his best weight is nearly all the divisions!
