Rewatching Mayweather-Hatton... Hatton is partly right

Hatton is partly right about Cortez... I am actually re-watching it now (just paused for couple of minutes) and there are a lot of times that Cortez did not break the clinching if the situation favors Mayweather... Cortez is sucks..! I am not taking anything away from PBF but Cortez sucks.. I will give Ricky a little chance on if there is a rematch and the referee is either Weeks or Bayless... The referee wasn't great and could have gave Hatton more leeway... but I don't think it would have changed the winner by any means.

BiasED. :nonono: shut up you fat yank!

hatton still would have lost without cortez Here is the answer again.. Before you jump into conclusion, I want to clear my self again... I am not saying the Ricky would have beaten Floyd if the referee is was not Cortez... and I am not saying that Hatton is better than Floyd because we all know Floyd is better... My point is, the fight could have gone other way if the referee was just fair and square... Ricky had a little chance but Cortez left him no chance at all...

That's the "old" Hatton, the new improved Hatton thats gonna turn up and shock the world on May 2nd will not be anywhere near as troubled by Pacs straight left. Yes... and Pac will get more credit after he beat Hatton than Floyd because Ricky now has everything he needs to beat Pacman... He got experience of losing, his desired coach, and new fighting style..

imagine what pacman's straight left hand will do to him coming in!! That's the "old" Hatton, the new improved Hatton thats gonna turn up and shock the world on May 2nd will not be anywhere near as troubled by Pacs straight left.

the whole reason mayweather-hatton was purposed was because of hatton's ability to do damage on the inside....and the one area everybody said floyd was weak was on the inside...look what castillo did to him, and got ripped of by the judges in the first fight...but thats a seperate thread, i do think at 147 floyd is better than ricky....but the whole reason for that fight was to see if a great body puncher could get to floyd....didnt happen because of cortez

It didn't help Hatton's case having the rep of holding and hitting. That said i think Cortez did nothing to hurt Hatton at all, Hatton was outclassed and what made him lose his patience was feeling Mayweather was winning the fight and feeling a bit outclassed.

I always though that! The fight would have been closer if Cortez wasn't so shit. Not saying Hatton would have won, but he would have had more of a chance. Especially when that ridiculous point deduction took place. Hatton's gameplan went right out the window with his patience then. Mayweather's style is all wrong for Hatton though. Coming in with no jab, hands down, chin out + fast, accurate punching = long, long night! imagine what pacman's straight left hand will do to him coming in!!

i said that about cotez. but first, let me get it clear that PBF prob would have beat him anyway. also, didn't cortez ref bhop v jc?? if so he ref'd that completely different, letting bhop hold

I'm a massive Ricky fan but think Floyd was just better then him on the night, however anyone who's seen the fight has to agree that Cortez didn't have a good fight, he split them up WAY too much and that back of the head point deduction really was a joke.

Coming in with no jab, hands down, chin out + fast, accurate punching = long, long night! I totally agree... Cortez was very quick most of the time... Hatton would've a case if the fight was won on points. The referee didn't help Money May land that sweet shot. Who said the Cortez helped Mayweather land a shot? LOL...
