Undefeated for a reason



Hopefully, that's the visual on what Dan is talking about.

I was dying to see Pretty Boy and Fatton (both nicknames the fighters seem to embody), but as a father of two with a wife who seems to want me home all the time, the best I could do was a live radio feed from a British website.

It was great listening to two English guys, clearly wanting to root for their guy, but having to admit it when Mayweather would catch Hatten with "another crushing blow".

Boxing is a dying art form in this country and that's a shame. It's losing out to Mixed Martial Arts because the media likes to focus on heavyweights, therefore great fighters like Roy Jones Jr. have to move up to gain national attention, lightweight battles get lost in the shuffle and Pretty Boy isn't seen for what he is - the best you or I may ever see.

Only Roy Jones can throw his name into that arguement, but he didn't fight the best until it was too late. That and he's not still undefeated...
