Ricky Hatton on Mayweather....in his own words

[tyson]

I like the opening comment here but the rest of this has wholes in it.

Don't let the people who share your POV fool you into thinking this is objective work here.. It's full of speculation and opinions.

The issue srrounding Cotto and Judah is split just near 50-50. You are making a massive leap there suggesting Cotto "overwhelms" Judah at any point - unless you're including the low blows at "any point." You see.. Some of us have actually laced em up and know what a low blow can do to a man's constitution like IceMan... And some here are professional journalists like Ryan (AS), who think Judah would have taken Cotto out in the first stanza without the fouls.. No offense, but I'll take their word over yours.


You're also saying Hatton "knows" he probably won't have much of a chance against Mayweather..

Just how do you "know" that?...


You also say that "DLH is an elite fighter" - and then immediately refer to Ricky Hatton, as if he is NOT an elite fighter.. Unless you mean something else - although I cannot see what..


.........Your message at the end is a good one.

Yes, Addison, you are right.

It's only speculation of me to say Cotto would always overwhelm Judah.
And it's a ****** thing to say, so I'm sorry. But I feel that Judah is not strong mentally, so I think the current Cotto would be too much for even a prime Judah.
I should have pointed out that it was what I felt, and not as a "fact" as I made it look like.

When it comes to Hatton-Mayweather, I have no idea what Ricky know.
It's wrong to say that too, as you point out. But that is only a figure of speech from my part, as it describes what I personally feel.
I really don't think Hatton want to fight Floyd, no matter what he says.

I said Oscar is an elite fighter as a comment on another post further back, and that had absolutely nothing to do with the next sentence, which also was a reply to an earlier post.

The only thing I speculated, was the Cotto-Judah thing. The rest was adressed to earlier posts that annoyed me.
Thank you for pointing some things out, and in a sensible way!

ya'll both (tyson, addison) make good points. conclusions are just that. they are almost always relative & are nothin more thn hypothesis' given what is a given. **** it is what it is. certain things we know from reason. i agree that zab wouldve handed cotto's ass to him under different circumstances so i hope them *****s have a rematch!!!

Dont agree. You hope Judah would have under different circumstances. Judah is an amazing talent, but simply lacks the will and mental capacity to be great. He has no heart, Cotto who is slow yet great power has tons of heart. He picks himself off the canvas when knockdown and keeps at it. I must applaud his will. Judah just can not focus for 12 rounds.

I just want a Hatton fan to rationalize this.

WELL HE HAD A FEW MORE FIGHTS.. WHAT ARE YOU TRYNING TO SAY

That's a gracious and classy post, Tyson.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I concede that expression is written all over this - sorry to go after it like some silly school teacher..


I see alot of people appreciated your words. Nice.

you're white.

What does being white have anything to do with it?

Nothing, just shows he has no reasonable answer.
