    how can you say hes fast, hes slow as hell. he only seems fast cause hes hugging you and hes about 2 inches away so his punches get there quickly, we all know he could beat dlh and mayweather easily but come on those guys suck. someone needed to stop juan urango and thank god hatton did! well done mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          Mayweather's right hand is slow?

          .......................................


          Anyways

          Hatton does have some skill, he showed that against urango, he can box a bit.

            If Mayweather's right is slow I don't know what a fast punch is. At the same time Hatton's hand speed is very good, and his foot speed is outstanding.

                  Interesting you should mention that, because people seem to forget the last 3 fights Hatton had. He wasn't in bad form at all, but he has been known to not like fighting lefties, and 2 of his last 3 were just that. He also went up in weight vs Collazo, and he struggled at that. But if Collazo had been at 140, I think Hatton would have pulled a Shane Mosley on Louis .

                    Mayweather = Ottke
                    I hate to say it, but you make a good Pernt

                      Ok, im gonna make an educated guess here, i dont think im hating when i say this.

                      I dont think Ricky Hatton is faster than Floyd Mayweather.
                      I don't think he is either. But I don't think he's that much slower than Mayweather, not to the degree that his detractors seem to believe. If he was as slow as some people are implying his entrance music would be the theme from Chariots of Fire.
