I dont think you know what you're talking about on this issue.
Are there any amateur boxers out there who can validate/ argue with my statement? I believe that #1 you will witness miracles watching hattons direction shifts #2 it is the only explanation for his great record given his non-existent reach/height and maybe slightly above average arm speed and solid power.Comment

to be honest, if his footwork was that good, or the best in the game p4p, there would be no need for the amount of clinching he does, half of the time hatton practically lunges in. his footwork is good enough to do what he does, its not terrible, but hatton isnt exactly an assault machine like juan diaz, Hatton crowding someone and giving different angles doesnt equal outstanding footwork, his footwork gets him where he needs to be, but its not the best in the game p4p, because like i said, if it was, he wouldnt worry about clinching because he would be moving in and out, not holding and being seperated.I dont think you know what you're talking about on this issue.

Check out the clip of Hatton v. Tszyu in my thread starter Hatton v. Tszyu...the Truth. You might be surprised. Hatton's got great footwork. His balance is terrific and he moves like a cat to get where he's going. No....I have to agree with Brawler on this one.to be honest, if his footwork was that good, or the best in the game p4p, there would be no need for the amount of clinching he does, half of the time hatton practically lunges in. his footwork is good enough to do what he does, its not terrible, but hatton isnt exactly an assault machine like juan diaz, Hatton crowding someone and giving different angles doesnt equal outstanding footwork, his footwork gets him where he needs to be, but its not the best in the game p4p, because like i said, if it was, he wouldnt worry about clinching because he would be moving in and out, not holding and being seperated.Comment

That he has the best footwork P4P. Period?
That's pretty high praise for Hatton based on one fight.
I actually find it hard to believe that someone with that kind of footwork would fight as a brawler... he could potshot all night and absorb a lot less punishment if he used the footwork that you claim he has.Comment

Dwiens I frankly don't care what you think. Did I say my opinion is based on one fight? Can you read or are you just trying to antagonize, like your mentor, Dios?That he has the best footwork P4P. Period?

So your opinion is more valid than Brawler's? I don't think so. For one, Brawler can think on his own. He doesn't have Dios leading him around by his ****.Comment

...that fight is not an example of great footwork at all, especially if your making a case for p4p footwork, that statement within itself is a huge stretch. Hatton's footwork is underrated because i think alot of people overlook it, but its not even close to being p4p best because as i said before, he clinches too much to make his footwork a dominating factor. the tszyu fight is an example in holding and hitting, not footwork, and ill be damn if i force myself to watch that fight for a 4th timeComment

Well thank god I can stop posting for your benefit exclusively, it's been exhausting.Dwiens I frankly don't care what you think. Did I say my opinion is based on one fight? Can you read or are you just trying to antagonize, like your mentor, Dios?

You said check the fight with Tszyu, I agree with Brawler.
Whatever, I'm not going to analyze the best option for every gap you leave open that you don't address in your posts to make you happy.
You are getting absurdly angry for no reason, as usual.Comment

He absorbs very little punishment for a come-forward fighter which is why he has 40+ wins.
Not all footwork involves retreating...do you realize how difficult it is to get to the inside so consistantly when you are hatton's size?
I dont base this off one fight...The clinching is perhaps an unnecessary evil, he does well without it regardless, but I dont think it is proof that he is off balance every time he comes in or that he NEEDS to do it just because he does it.Last edited by BmoreBrawler; 10-22-2007, 04:53 AM.Comment

regardless, even with what you have just said, to say he has the best footwork p4p puts his footwork better than mosley, better than mayweather, better than hopkins, better than calzhage, come on man.Comment
