Reasons why Hatton Lost.

once again the brits manage to outnumber the us boxing fans on their own turf!!! Ricky's fans are great, no doubt. But Manny isnt from the US. Fans of Manny that showed up are most likely Filipinos living in the US.

I'll have to disagree, this is a boxing contest, not how good a man you are....cus, is really dificult to try KO your opponent with you're head...less with your heart

Just watched the fight tonight and noticed at end of the first round how Hatton kept lookin at Lee beard for advice and was basically ignorin Floyd by just shaking his head and lookin at Beard. Ricky only has himself to blame to be honest.

Not taking anything away from Gatti: I happen to LIKE him. I'm simply pointing out that unfortunately some fans confuse "entertaining" with "great". Gatti was fun to watch but ultimately he was crushed everytime he stepped up. I'm simply saying that people shouldn't translate their fondness for a fighter into a blindness towards his actual abilities. Don't get me started on Chicken Gayweather. Poet i guess it depends on what your definition of "great" is? i can understand why alot of boxing purists criticies guys like gatti..etc..(the list goes on and on) but from my point of view(ok i can talk some shit from time to time!!!) boxing is about excitement & machismo!!! hatton,gatti,froch,pacquiao,haye... etc!!! if only the "elite fighters" had the same attitude?

Hatton only needed to look at David Diaz flat on his face to know Pac hit hard, and not listen to DLH.

Unlike the Mayweather fight on this fight hatton: 1. Was fighting at the weightclass that he is must effective where he was the champ! 2. Had a better trainer than before 3. Had a different referee 4. Wasn't fighting at the opponent home turf 5. Cant claim he was hit by a lucky puch cuz he went down in different rounds Hatton simply have run out of excuses.

no head movement, no defense, fights with his hand down

Yea Im sure Manny wishes he was Ricky.:dead1: ok fair enough! manny must be the only guy in boxing who is loved more than the manchester hitman! but credit where its due to hatton!!! and more importantly credit is due to the british fans!! once again the brits manage to outnumber the us boxing fans on their own turf!!! wow what a surprise!!!(sarcastic!!!!!!) will the us fans ever be able to compete with the brits??? i think we should have a good old fashioned football/soccer riot then we`ll see who the men really are? no guns or police protection!! just man vs man!! bring it on!!!! nobody can handle the english in a good old fashioned street fight!!!!

Because he showed up and fell asleep.

Hmmmmm. Has it occured to anyone that Hatton lost because like Arturo Gatti he's just not as good as his fans make him out to be hmmmmm? Poet hey! im not trying to say hatton is/was an elite fighter! obviousley not! its plain to see!!! i agree that hatton falls into the "gatti" catogory! however.. that isn`t such a bad thing is it? i`d rather be a gatti\hatton.. etc fan than a mayweather\calzaghe fan! gatti & hatton were warriors! pbf,joe c... etc were technically great fighters but were they REAL WARRIORS? (i think not)

He's not P4P. And cause he told everyone to bet the house.

Obviously Ricky Slipped.

He lost because. 1. Pacquiao doesn't like to hug guys, and Hatton does, so Pacquiao put him to sleep early because he isn't gay 2. Pacquiao momma was there, so Pacquiao wanted to show off 3. Floyd Sr. didn't put no Sugar in the Kool Aid

He lost because he is "was" the most hyped boxers in the sport. Not in the same league as Pac or Mayweather.

pacman will wreck mayweather if floyd ever has the nerve to face the filipino fighting machine!!!(ps i wouldn`t have said that before pac>hatton)

MAYWEATHER,MARQUEZ,PACQUIAO... ETC... ALL GREAT FIGHTERS!! ..BUT... THERES ONLY ONE RICKY HATTON!!!!! those other guys are all great boxers but they all wish they were half the man that RICKY THE HITMAN HATTON was!!! pacquiao only comes close! Yea Im sure Manny wishes he was Ricky.:dead1:

Obviously. I think a two round brutalisation leaves things unclear as to who is the better fighter. Hatton was robbed! :D in the rematch pac has to tie a hand behind his back to make it fair.

9. He underestimated Manny's power 10. He lost his cool and went for the kill CO-SIGN! manny was better!:killyou: but!! hatton will always be the man!!! THERES ONLY ONE RICKY HATTON!!!!!!!

we need a rematch to settle things Obviously. I think a two round brutalisation leaves things unclear as to who is the better fighter. Hatton was robbed! :D
