It is amazing how you see a fighter age in one night.

its not that Hatton is shot... more like he's been exposed by Floyd where other boxers can now take notes of his flaws/weaknesses...although he decisively beat Lazcano, I did see Hatton catch a few check hooks in the fight...or shots while lunging in...

hatton is past his best, he didnt do enough at his peak though IMO....he beat a old and shot tszyu (with the help of low blows and hugging and hitting, using forearms, elbows etc...) , he beat a very shot castillo, and a couple others before he faced mayweather, he wasnt active enough ..........he should've taken on cotto when he was at lww.......and he should've fought maliggnaggi a while ago when he could beat him, now malignaggi will just box circles around him........pretty sad i believe the problem is hattons ballooning up between fights and then just rapidly cutting the weight off......saps his stamina and ages his body prematurely, its the reason why he hasnt looked so flash in recent outings.... consider this: mayweather, (now fighting at welterweight but probably a natural light welter nowadays ) walks around at 158-160 lbs hatton walks around at about 170-180 lbs (as high as 188)........ who do you think is the more professional fighter, and who will have more longevity in the fight game and better overall health?? i dont think he is shot, but he is on the down side of his career. he already peaked imo. he was punching hard...i dont doubt that, but in overall he was a little slower, a little more tire than he should be and most importan, he ate a lot of punches...too much imo. a rematch with mayweather would turn out to be a mayweather taking hatton to boxing school. i dont think lazcano is a bad fighter, but he shouldnt have given that many problems to hatton. i wouldn't say hatton is shot but but i do think coming down in weight 50 lbs before every fight will hurt him more and more as he gets older. a 25 year old can do that but not after 30. james toney had to lose as much as 70 lbs before some fights and it's certainly aged him, u can't keep abusing ur body and expect to have a long career

hatton is a bum, when he fights paulie and losses i want to see if these hatton fanatics will still praise his bum ass.bunch of ******s

This could be the case I forgot about that. Maybe the chest infection did contribute to last night's poor performance... Chest infection may have something to do with it ...

he did have a chest infection and that might have affected him who knows. i think he looked sharp and was a good fight to watch. he has not aged at all but i agree the mayweather loss has probably dented his confidence as a first loss does to any fighter. i think he bounced back in style last night and deserves credit by proving to people that HE ISNT SHOT. This could be the case I forgot about that. Maybe the chest infection did contribute to last night's poor performance...

Hatton IMO definitely does not look the same. He looked sluggish, brawled stupidly, got hit way too much and got seriously hurt twice. The referee was severely pro-Hatton. He did not look good last night especially considering the opponent in front of him. If he fights Mayweather again he'll get KO'd sooner. In my mind he's damaged goods.

Maybe I'm crazy but I noticed within the first 10 seconds that he didn't seem to have the same bounce in his step as he did against Mayweather and I had a bad feeling about his performance for the rest of the fight. It wasn't a poor performance for by any means, but the problem is that he didn't seem 100% and I think that's why people are throwing out the "shot" term despite the victory. he did have a chest infection and that might have affected him who knows. i think he looked sharp and was a good fight to watch. he has not aged at all but i agree the mayweather loss has probably dented his confidence as a first loss does to any fighter. i think he bounced back in style last night and deserves credit by proving to people that HE ISNT SHOT.

Shot!? Thats a bit harsh! Dude just went 12 rounds at an intese pace and won every round basically!

In answer to the question in this thread, what makes you think Hatton has aged??? He was non stop for 12 rounds, he had Lascano hurt on several occasions and probably won by 10 clear rounds? He was hurt a couple of times but came back stronger and turned the tide, that is not the actions of an aged fighter.

man, people are using the term "shot" way to much. He's not shot. He didn't look that great or sharp, but that doesn't mean he's shot. thats basically it. he went on a huge blowout after the mayweather fight and probably took this fight lightly. Hatton can get back in shape no probs.

Hatton ain't shot at all. He also doesn't deserve to get trashed just because Mayweather beat him. Hatton owns the 140 division as of right now so no.

That 120-108 card will be wiped on my ass after a night of habaneros.:nonono: Hatton won, 9-3. But what the hell was up with the 10th round?

The truth is Hatton is overrated and vastly overhyped all of his career. The truth is he beat an old, creaky Kostya Tszyu, a shot to hell Castillo and was out on his feet against a mediocre Collazzo and put to sleep in an ugly way from one punch against Mayweather. Hatton=overrated and overhyped B- fighter. He is not, nor ever was an elite fighter. His style is ugly and the only thing he brings to the table is a great English fanbase. He is the equivalent of England's boxing Spicegirls. lmao xD .... i agree with you btw....hatton is overated but he is still a very good fighter. you could say he is the worst of the elite fighters, or the best of the good fighters...something like that. i respect him, but at least after tonight he is no way a top ten p4p at least on my list.

Hatton had a poor performance against Collazo, Mayweather, and Lazcano. That's 3 of his last 5 fights. Nobody is shot. It's called stepping up in competition. Tszyu was a great night for him. He was on fire, but he also took clean punches that night. When he steps up in competition he's hittable. He won the fight clearly, but got rocked a couple of times. Lazcano was clearly more game than Castillo. You forgot Urango. 4 of 5....

I think Hatton did his best work when Lazcano was opening up, the rest of the time Juan was spoiling and holding. I'm not so sure that a faster handed fighter like Witter would actually cause significantly more problems. It's tough to speculate anyway, Lazcano is a stand-still-throw-punches kind of guy. Witter spends most of his fights staring at the opponent and feinting. Hatton won't give him the break to do it. I don't think that Ricky looked great but he still utterly dominated and walked through some big punches. I just think that his resistance is falling and of course his air of invulnerability is a distant memory. The hatton-Tszyu fight never looked like 8/9/10 of FMJ-RH. I was thinking 7-8-9. Hatton seemed to get his head back into things in the tenth and was doing alright, which really goes to credit Floyd more because Hatton had taken way more punishment in the preceeding rounds but Floyd picked his spot perfectly. Regardless those rounds of the Mayweather fight were indeed a "dismantling". But Hatton-Tszyu was only a "dismantling" in the same way that a wrecking ball "dismantles" as building.

no one saw him "age" in the Collazo fight? ok.
