I used to hate on Hatton because he was a Brit but damn he looked good against Paulie, I never quite realised how much power ricky had because he never showed it against Floyd as he was owned for 10 rounds, but his hooks look dangerous and his body shots were good. I'm the biggest Floyd fan but if Floyd went over to the UK and fought him with a fair ref, I can see Hatton causing him problems, something I didn't say in build up to their first fight as i knew Hattonwould get owned.
Also proves USA is the king of boxing for learning your trade, Hatton ditches a drunk old fart and comes to the USA and gets taught REAL boxing methods and training instead of hitting a pillow.
Fair play Ricky I'm starting to enjoy watching you now dude.
Hatton won the fight but those claiming somehow he's " back to his old self" and wanting a rematch with Mayweather better take off their rose colored glasses!!! Hatton won the fight against a media generated pretender who clearly didn't want to fight. There was more holding than hitting. Hatton may be the best JR weltereight of his era but he can't compete as a top welterweight. He simply takes to much of a beating. Even Collazo beat the heck out of him and he's not exactly a elite welterweight. Give Hatton his due but don' t overstate his skills. He's a holder and a hitter with limited defense
Oh yeah, credit to Hatton, guy looked pretty darn good in there. Paulie in fairness was poor, silly he seemed to try fight Mayweathers fight then his own. But even if Paulie was at his best....it may have ended similar to the Cotto fight, Hatton was extremely good.
Very surprised at Ricky, i felt he would go back to his old self at times and he did whcih was to be expected, but wow what a job so far from Mayweather Sr. I look forward to future Hatton fights for sure, hopefully he fights in Wembley next year, i am there! as a fan of boxing no doubt.
yo preacher how does it feel knowing ricky moved on to bigger and better things which meant staying in 5 star hotels, travelling in luxury transport and meeting world superstars was over for you and now you have to go to the pub every day as an unemployed f*cker who sleeps in 2 star hotels now and travels in shitty cars?
yeah you just got owned.
