Had Ricky fought Katsidis tonight would we be having a different discussion?

Man, Katsidis is more shot than Ricky.

Dont know how much Katsidis has slipped, But even though hatton would be the bigger man. I reckon Katsidis walks through hatton and stops him. Hatton was way to easy to hit tonight.

morales would beat hatton. war morales! cinco de mayo 2013, Tijuana , Morales vs Hatton bring it

Katsidis does not beat Hatton, Hatton's timing may have been way off tonight but he would have landed most of shots against Katsidis who would have fed Hatton's style. I don't know whether Hatton should retire after this, he's obviously past his prime but I truly can't answer how much of it was rust as oppose to how much he's slipped.

yeah 2 shot fighters going at it... Hatton would've had a better chance

Really? So Kats beats Ricky as well?

Considering how sloppy Hatton was tonight, I think a highly motivated and in-shape Katsidis would've hurt him too.
