    Floyd went from weighing in at the WW limit of 147, to weighing 150 against Oscar...

    Roy went from the LHW limit of 175 to weighing 193 at the weigh in and 199 on fight night... then back to 175.

      but i think moving up in weight slowed floyd down as well. maybe not as much as roy and the slow down would matter to roy anyways because his style relies heavily on his reflexes.
      I think it was even worse for Roy who went down 20lbs and was going on 35.

        Comparing wins:
        Jose Luis Castillo < Toney
        Jose Luis Castillo=Green Hopkins
        Oscar De La Hoya=Ruiz
        Shane Mosley=Virgil Hill
        Zab Judah=Harding
        Diego Corrales>Griffin
        Ricky Hatton < Tarver

        Noticable losses:
        Tarver ko loss
        Johnson ko loss
        Tarver ud loss

        Accomplishments:
        Title defenses don't really mean much these days
        5 division world champion > 4 division world champion
        Nice break down but Hatton beats Tarver.

        He had no business goin to HW. I think he went because he felt like he was losing it so he had target practice on Ruiz. We cant make excuses for ROy. If you notice we havent made any excuses for Floyd the whole thread.

          This is the most ******ed post I have ever seen

          Try actually comparing there best wins dummy

          Toney>>>>>Corralles
          Hopkins>>>>>>>>>>>Hatton
          Hill>>>>>>>Hernandez
          McCcallum=DLH
          Griffin>>>>>>>>close win against Castillo in rematch
          Ruiz>Marquez JMM is obviously a 10x better fighter but Floyd weighed like 20 pounds more
          Harding>>>>>>>>>basically a draw against Castillo in the first fight

            He went to HW because he wanted to win a HW title.. not because he thought he was losing it

            To this day he doesn't think he lost anything.

              Not the WW Hatton.

              If Floyd fought Hatton at JR WW... possibly.

                Right, which is why he is still fighting. But, I love to hear Roy call a fight though.

                  man.. if Roy retired after Tarver 1 this wouldn't be a discussion at all.

                  He would've been the most heralded fighter since Leonard.
