Why do people think Cortez helped Floyd against Hatton?

uve goytta be kidding me 1. pleas epost a video of hatton doing the holding? 2 i clearley remeber floyd fighting dirty " holding " elbow" hitting on the break and behind the head" but thats all ok cuz that was hattons fight the FACT is he let floyd gt away with it but did not let ricky not saying it cost ricky the fight but i think it would have been a MUCH more entertaining fight some people seem to have it stuck in there head that " floyd massacered hatton" when in fact it was a close tought fight and floydd himself stated " he is the toughest man iver ever fought " " and before the 1st bell rang and we where standing across from eachother it was the 1st time in my career i was scared " props to floyd for beating the best hatton ive ever seen not many fighters i can think woulda beat hatton on that night floyd is not the greatest fighter ever but hes prolly the hardest to beat

People love to make excuses when things don't go as they want them to~

hatton wanted to make it a wrestling match. it was an ugly fight to watch.

Maybe Cortez should of tackle Mayweather or blocked his right hook. Cry Cry Cry is all I hear from Hatton fans. Blaiming the referee is a chicken**** move. TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!

Hatton had a better chance with a diff ref. It would have went to scorecards prob. but he was KTFO and Cortez is still a puto.

this thread illustrates the current state of boxing. The sport has become so boring that fans who sign up for the most popular boxing website create threads about a floyd mayweather fight almost 3 years ago. Ok guys. Blames cortez. Floyd cheated. Hatton won, odh beat floyd. Castillo beat floyd. Floyd ducks. Now that 2004-2009 is covered can we get back to 2011. ^^^^this^^^^

Still illegal whether people like it or not. Lots of people dont even know it is illgal just like the pushing ordeal. Holding is NOT a boxing action just like pushing isnt, hence why they both are illegal actions Sorry to disagree, but the way Khan was pushing, with both hands with arms fully outstretched, it was almost like a double handed punch. A very violent push. As for holding, I don't mistake holding, which is illegal, especially if you're punching with the other hand, for clinching, which is perfectly legal, and often requires a ref to step in and separate. As I recall much of the holding in the Mayweather- Hatton fight was by Mayweather who was holding Hatton with one arm and hitting with the other. Sometimes elbowing, and very often holding Hatton behind the head and hitting him with the other. He was also often ducking below the waist, right under Cortez' nose, who did nothing. It was a rough fight with Mayweather on the retreat most often, but he was hard pressed. The best fight I'd seen him in since Castillo, and before him, Augustus. I recall seeing Hatton looking at Cortez every time he broke things up just before Hatton got really going. Mayweather was really up against it in the first half of the fight, and did very well to survive, and eventually conquer.

old man cortez helped may over ortiz. lol.

hey, i have no issue with the way hatton fights. i love it in fact. with that said, different refs, different ways of calling a fight. only thing i can say i didnt agree with was the point deduction for hatton whereas there wasnt even much of a warning for floyd. with that said, hatton wasnt really winning those exchanges on the inside, and when floyd kept it in the ring center, he was absolutely destroying hatton. but ill say it again, i think that fight showcased the best hatton i had ever saw. and i think he owes a lot of that to cortez.

because Cortez doesnt allow infighting and didnt warn Mayweather for using his elbows, which he did repeatedly in the fight. It wouldnt have made a difference in the outcome, but it would have made a difference in how the fight played out.

Who really says this? Only a few haters and the pinoy say this crap, the latter haven't even watched the fight because it doesn't involve Manny. They just hear someone else say something negative and then parrot it excessively without even investigating things themselves.

Floyd does a lot of this dirty stuff besides the sucker punching and coming in overweight.

Hatton got KOd. PERIOD

It was Hatton who was clinching excessively. Clinching and holding excessively is illegal in boxing, dont see why people are mad I've never understood this either. I always said, when Hatton comes to the U.S. and the refs actually make him fight rather than hold and hit, he will get mauled. Sure enough, Collazo nearly took his ass out in his first fight here. And then Mayweather obviously destroyed him as we all knew he would.

Uhhh... there's a huge distinction between holding and inside fighting.. Hatton was HOLDING, Hatton was getting destroyed inside too. Both were holding and clinching actually so separation was needed since they weren't going to let go. Watch a few of Rios' recent fight - that's INSIDE fighting, Hatton just came in and held or clinched up. What else do you want the ref to do when both of their arms are locked in? I think you're in the wrong sport if you want to watch some sort of WWE entertainment. Some of the British fans/Die hard Hatton fans are truly delusional, primarily due to the travesty of Hatton/Tsyzu - what an atrocious fight by the ref.

Didn't realize we'd traveled back to the year 2008. Feels like someone whipped out the DeLorean time machine.

Cortez is notorious for not allowing inside fighting, khan vs maidana is one of many examples of that. Hatton is an inside fighter so they die hard hatton fans believe he didn't have a chance with cortez, hence the bitching. Where they are wrong of course is believing hatton would have had a chance with any other ref. It wouldn't matter if the ref was steve smoger, kenny bayless or hulk holgan, he could never beat floyd. the hulkman would leg drop those two bums and carry their titles back to his castle in the sky

Because Cortez didn't help and its easier to blaim Cortez than to accept Hatton LOST the fight, and not by close D. He was KOed.
