additionally, mitchell could have continued even though he was being dominated; i felt it was suspiciously stopped prematurely.
mayweather is dominant and comically fast, but i'm skeptical of his power. also, mitchell landed some clean shots. if mayweather gets overconfident and tries to brawl with a better puncher like zab judah or kostya tszyu; that could become a problem for him. i'm not giving ricky hatten any respect until he wins a fight outside of england.

he has power. if youve watched Gatti fight....youd know he takes tons of punishment. the fact that Mayweather dominated him so easily shows alot. Gatti is without a doubt a tough fighter....but he was picked apart easier then anyone ive seen in a long time. Ricky Hatten will get murdered against Mayweather. But yeah, Judah OR Tszyu would be good. I still give Mayweather the advantage. He's too smart in the ring. Real economical and very accurate with his punches. He's like a more powerful version of Pernell Whitaker.

He has had a fight outside England.
Why is it Americans think the U.S is the home of Boxing and every fighter should go there.
The sport came from England deal with it.

All of the big money pay per view fights happen in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Deal with it.

The point is, the US is the home of boxing, and if you don't fight here then you're nothing.

lol
Cheers for the laugh
How can it be the home of Boxing when it was not born there ?
So if every good fighter comes over to England and fights say Ricky Hatton
like Cotto, Mayweather and all the rest and he beats them all
He still aint shit ?
Come on man
I agree fighters should go overseas and fight especially if they are world champions.
But to say they would be nothing is a bit harsh
