That was an unbelievable gutsy performance. He was outclassed in every department, yet he just came and came and came.
And how the FUCK did he EVER make it onto his feet after that first KNOCKDOWN??? that was amazing really, he went down HARD.
Overall i was overly pleased with the night. The fight was good, in ended in a KO, Mayweather and Hatton were both extremely classy in both victory and defeat, and it really showed off Boxings better side tonight.
On ANOTHER note... HOW THE FUCK DID HOWARD LETTERMAN GIVE THAT MANY ROUNDS TO HATTON?????? This guy is UNBELIVABLE. he is just a complete IDIOT, what fight does this guy watch?
I thought rounds 1 and 3 were kinda close, but both were probably mayweather rounds, and round 5 was probably a Hatton round...but that was it.
Oh, and if Mayweather really does retire, which i definetly believe this time, he is the single biggest bitch of all time.
If you really thought Hatton won more than 2 rounds max ( I got him at 1), then you either just don't like Floyd, don't know boxing or you may be drunk like Letterman. Even Mayweather hater, Teddy Atlas, said he didn't know what fight Harold was watching. That was a dominate destruction and nearly as bad as the Gatti fight. I like the da Rocky movies too but damn dawg, I dont expect to see dat shit in real life. Rocky came back against the Russian but in real life you see a beating like that ends up bad for you.
I thought he won the rounds where he was more effective, bossed the action and landed the more effective shots, the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th. Then it all went wrong and he started walking into punches and looked a little desperate.
Don't get me wrong, Mayweather fought a great fight over the ten rounds but the judges had it wrong, Lederman had it right, and David Letterman doesn't score fights.
If it was an amateur bout then Hatton didn't win over a single round, but it wasn't so counting punches isn't the most important aspect.
And nobody thought Floyd had the power to stop Hatton. It's moreso about precision and that's Mayweather's department. Accuracy with decent power will get you out.
Not all his fans are retarded bitches. *points to self* j/k i'm also retarded :)
Hurray Mayweather!!! What a night, what a win. I see noone beating Mayweather. You can retire as a ALL TIME great in my book.
i think hatton did get some rounds he was in control and thats what made lederman give him the rounds but the score the judges gave him were ridicioulous

Graham and the corner threw it immeadiatly after the stoppage almost at the same time.
yea thats about what happened
Call him a bitch all you want. The bitch won tonight and if he retires I'll be glad for him. Somebody else can step up. He's paid his dues with interest.
i dont see how anybody could support Mayweathers decision to retire. Its almost disrespectful to all his fans.
Boxing has 2 major stars. One is Mayweather, and the other is on his way out. We NEED Mayweather to survive in all actuality...
see, its people like this that PISS me off. How in the WORLD can u not give Hatton credit for walking throught some MASSIVE straight right hands and left hooks, and STILL keep coming forward.
Round 8 i think it was, Hatton gets ROCKED something awful, and Mayweather lands his best on Ricky, but at the end of the round Ricky is the one throwing back!
Just unbelievable courage and heart Hatton showed, thats gotta gain anybodies respect
Like I've said before, I have no problem with Floyd, he is a great fighter. It's most of his punk ass, retarded, bitch fans, that I don't like.
what?
dude, u MUST be the biggest idiot on the site first of all.
But if Mayweather does retire, he is a bitch. Here is a guy IN HIS PRIME, IN THE BEST DIVISION IN ALLLLLLLLLL OF BOXING, and he's going to retire???
lol, thats what we call "running away from the a challenge" aka, he's flat out ducking Cotto or any of the welterweights really.
He claims he's in the sport cause he loves it... well then why the fuck will he only take fights that offer up the most cash?

The ref. stopped the fight. What are you talking about.
the ref did stop it but Hattons corner had thrown in the towel as well. So if someone was complaining about a bad stoppage... doesnt matter anyways. towel was out i believe, thats what the reports say anyways
Kaynan pretty much said it.
He tried his best, but I think he came under prepared.
Floyd had his number from the beginning.
I'm honestly disappointed in Hatton. You can praise him all you want for taking some big hits, but in the end he walked into Mayweather's punches every other time he charged in. He practically knocked himself out.

Hattons corner threw in the towel, idk if u knew that...
I dont know if my eyes tricked me, but I saw the ref step in and wave it off and a couple seconds later a towel fly in. Maybe the ref saw them waving it? Regardless if Hatton managed to get up it would be nothing but for floyd to damage him some more.
Ok, I piss you off. Whatever. Sorry that I can't get hyped over somebody who turns a fight into a wrestling exhibition. Maybe that translates into heart for you... but I personally don't call every guy who gets smacked up a warrior. He didn't hit, and he got hit-- simple.
damn, thats fucking well said
Good fight for both fighters. Floyd, inside and outside, outclassed Ricky and showed why he is a great. Damn good fight. Why the fuck is he a bitch? Didn't you hear what was said "I retire from boxing, boxing doesn't retire me".
How can you call Mayweather a bitch then tell us we should have respect for Haton???

Hattons performance didn't get any respect from me whatsoever. He took a beating and proved that he is a dirty fighter. He gets mad props for his heart but he didn't show much else. He was never gonna beat Floyd and I think everyone knew that. He really truned me off at the end though whinning about PBF being bigger and using an elbow and shoulder to move him. PBF is a natural 130lb fighter and Ricky was using WWE moves in their and even got a point taken away, so he has no room to talk thier. I thought he would be more graceful in defeat like Kessler and admit he just lost to a better fighter but he didn't. He is a good fighter and he still can beat most guys at 140lbs but he needs to just man up like he had been doin and stop making excuses. Then he will get my respect.
It did, even Mayweather was humbled by Ricky's performance. Had Mayweather not been so accurate or prepared, it would have gone Ricky's way i'm sure. Ricky is a great champion and will come back stronger i'm sure.
