Does HATTON hit that hard or did Castillo not want to fight?

its hard to reach a persons body when you are getting a boxing lesson. Collazo would have countered hatton on the way in. and Urango was backing hatton off with body shots.

I think it was more so a case of well placed shot delivered to the body of a fighter with a significant amount of wear and tear, rather than the power behind it or Castillo taking a dive. It was a great shot, no doubt. But Hatton landed some devastating body shots on Collazo and Maussa both, who seemed to walk right through them.

regardless wether he got a Boxing lesson or not fact is makes a mockery of who write this post & you for agreeing with it you both obviously know nothing about Hatton v Collazo fight either that or your judgment is biased or very very poor

it was a fantastic shot but castillo took plenty of that v corrales, fact is castillo had been a pro for what 17 years and been in too many wars, the corrales fight finished both fighters

i think cotto is the hardest body puncher. and ''the toughest guy in boxing'' dont stay down and look at the ref while he count to 10. you will never see pacman, zab, barrera, or cotto stay down for the 10 count. he should at least tried to get up. even kellerman and merchant said castillio took a dive in that fight. like i said in the other thread, i take nothing away from hatton, he did a good job on his part.

a lot of commentators say a lot of syhit. it don't mean it's true

put it this way. people thought castillo would win. people said hatton could never ko castillo.

that punch hurt going in all 4 rounds. until it hit him right where it hurts. i mean people say oscar dived agaisnt hopkins, but i don't think so. if power was behind a body shot ko then everyone would do it. it's to do with precision, not that hatton planned to hit right there, but he did aim there a lot. if you hit the right spot then it's night night.

i do not dislike hatton. but he was getting a clinic in the collazo fight. if collazo did not trip and fall those two times, Collazo would have one a Unanimous decision im my book against RICKY HATTON. what happened? hatton was suppose to be making his big welterweight dubut and then goes get exposed by collazo. and he almost got knocked out in the 12th. just look at thier faces after the fight. collazo's was clear and Ricky's was tore up. hatton could have done no better no matter what. he has trouble with boxers, period.

Collazo didn't trip in that first round knockdown, he was off balance and got caught with a shot to the chin that scrambled his sense enough to stop him reacting. He fell due to a punch which is a knockdown. If Hatton had not knocked him down in the first then it would have ended as a majority decision for Hatton rather than a unanimous decision for Collazo. Just because a fight was closer than expected doesn't mean that anyone got a clinic.

thats not the point wether Collazo beat Hatton or not ,but when someone says Hatton through some devestating Body shots against Collazo and he walked throught them as an analogy, you have to question what the hell he is talking about he is obviosly biased or knows very little about observing a fight

and u agreed with him not sure which part you agreed with but the part about Hatton throwing devestating Body shots and Collazo walking through them is false

you are right but it was still more of a trip if anything. collazo was just nervous and got caught off guard. but hatton was definatley getting out boxed. even with the knock downs i still had collazo wnning by a point.

Could it be that you are biased because Collazo is a, ha, "slick southpaw"?

Collazo was better than everyone though, and I believe that is why Hatton struggled. He learned a lot from that fight, more than he learned from the Kostya fight. And he's better now for it.
