Mayweather prolly saw it coming, that's why he took early retirement

like who?...the only person he ever fought of any note before De la hoya was Barrera...maybe Marquez

He's never went up against anyone with Hatton's power and with Mayweather snr now training Hatton he'll soon have the speed to go with it. you could see the change in his last fight against Malignaggi

as for claiming Manny would beat Mayweather...please...he beat a heartless de la hoya (granted a couple of divisions above his usual weight) but there's no way he'd beat Mayweather

that's just being realistic

You know what, one thing I am tired of hearing is that Leonard won the fight with Hagler, even though he did on the scorecards, I think Hagler won. What do you guys think?

* i hate to rain on your parade, dude, but i already heard that before Pacman's fight against the Golden Boy.... before the fight, many people thought Manny is no match for Oscar, some even said Oscar would dominate the fight... but in the end, Pacquiao proved them all wrong!

* of course we are entitled to have our own opinion but do not dare say that Manny cannot beat Floyd because the fight has yet to happen... cool? 😎

manny won and fairplay. but it helped that hoya didnt turn up for the fight

no...not cool...because unlike de la hoya...mayweather has never fought like he had no heart and no desire to win....granted he's had a few decisions that went his way when it could be argued he shouldn't have won...but he still won

He's destroyed Barrera, Marquez, Morales, Solis.. and now De La Hoya. All of those boxers are prominent names, especially in Mexico.

Solis?...hahaha..are you serious?...the guy's fought nothing but journeymen his entire career.

the 1st time he fought morales he lost...

i'm not saying he's a shit boxer but he's just stepped up 2 divisions...he should start by aiming a little lower...Tszyu, Cotto, Malinaggi

he certainly shouldn't go for Hatton at the top of his game or Mayweather...not yet anyway...

Even the pro boxing analysts say that Pac-Man clearly won that fight.
3 knockdowns, and yet Morales wins. Pfft. He didn't even land any good blows to Pac-Man.

I'm 90% sure that Pac-Man will win his Hatton fight, if it ever takes place. Unless Hatton chickens out.

I guess time will tell...maybe you'll be made to eat your words just like Caps is every time Calzaghe fights 😛

101% sure Manny will win.
Hatton is not in his league.
I hope he chickens out, so that he could continue his career and his reputation.

Hagler won, another boxing con like the when De La Hoya "beat" Felix Sturm, even then he was past it and was out punched.

I agree

it was about 20 years ago...i suggest you let it go...because boxing was and still is one of the most corrupt sports in the world so with that in mind some decisions will always be, on the face of it, stupid.

A shame though, I think that and some silly hand picked fights against fat old blokes spoils it.

Most of the Klitchko opponents were useless, mind you the heavyweight division is joke anyway nowadays.

* if the Pacquiao-Hatton or Pacquiao-Mayweather ever materializes, let's go back here, and after the fight, let's go back here again, and let's see who will eat his words, 😛

It is hard for me to let it go because Hagler should have one, and that fight ruined Hagler's career.

De La Hoya deserved that. Only person he should even be considering fighting is Trinidad.

I see its Wladimir Klitschko vs. Hasim Rahman this weekend.

Another smaller slower opponent to jab to death, then knock out around the 7th, if Rahman lasts that long.

The heavyweight division is sad nowdays.

Who thinks Haye could take the Klitchko Brothers, one or the other?

Mayweather's arrogance is his biggest tool, he simply won't allow himself to lose. Whereas other boxers might get slack, Mayweather would probably rather die than lose.
