PBF could be successful in any era. He is hands down the best fighter of my generation, the only other fighter I think that could come close to comparing to him would be Hopkins at 160 who was unstoppable.

Please check your bias at the door and give the guy the credit he deserves. Most people on this board always root against the brash guys who speak their mind. Unlike some of those jokers - Floyd isn't a chump. IN short:

He's slick. He's got power. He talks. He backs it up.

Please stop blaming Cortez either - good stop and he had to assert himself early. The best part of all it was that whenever Ricky attempted his rough-house tactics - Floyd matched him. If you set the tone, be sure you can back it up. On top of that the point wasn't going to help Floyd in anyway, as you coudl see on the official scorecards, it wasn't close. So that all seems like sour grapes. It was Floyd's fight the whole time and anyone that has ever watched him knew that. Hatton is game, no doubt, but he's not on par with PBF.

Both fighters were gracious and classy at the end. Floyd humble in victory, Hatton's interview was comic at times which I appreciated. I think he said it was "a fluke" or some such ****.

I'd love to see Hatton vs. Cotto.
