[...] #4 Floyd Mayweather, Jr. TKO 10 Ricky Hatton Few superfights matched this one in terms of intensity inside the ring as well as outside of it. The year’s final superfight played out like a classic novel. The rising action, HBO’s pre-fight reality show and televised weigh-in created the buzz, while Floyd Mayweather’s blazing fists closed the show. [...]

DonJohn, I have to disagree with you on this one. While I do agree that Floyd cleverly used his elbow (actually more of his forearm) to create space between he and Hatton on the inside, to call him a dirty fighter for applying this tactic against a very physical fighter like Hatton is a stretch. And Mayweather has been been booed in the past because he often wins easily but in boring fashion (which was NOT the case on Dec. 8 I might add), not because he has a reputation for fighting dirty. However, I do agree with you that Hatton will still be formidable at 140 pounds, should he continue to fight. He has nothing to be ashamed of.

Mayweather fights dirty, due him holding, clinching, and most of all, fighting mostly with his ELBOWS. I think if ricky were to fight at his weight that he always fights he would never be beat. Mayweather is the best ELBOW fighter in the world. He is a fighter that gets BOOED for a reason, and thats in my opinion a DIRTY fighter henry penta

Roger definitely brings a “Flavor of Love” appeal to the series. LOL

Oh man I forgot about Arum previously being his promoter. Cotto Mayweatheer 24/7 would be far more entertaining than the fight itself! LOL! Man, Roger cracks me up! LOL!
