Ricky Hatton

[Dorian]

How come Hatton had so much trouble against Collazo?
I'm wondering if he goese with the same glame plan against floyd it won't be a good night for the hitman.

Why was he doing so bad vs Collazo?

took him too lightly maybe. he does have a habbit of letting himself go between fights.

He was doing bad because I think he claimed to have the flu that night, plus Hatton is a brawler not a boxer. He is no Calzaghe. I'd give Hatton alot better chances if Calzaghe was training hatton.

if he has a problem against boxers then why are people picking him to beat floyd?

(fan of both)

[Dorian]

that's what i though :P

There are a few factors:

1. He took the fight at something like 8 weeks notice after Laczano pulled out of a scheduled light-welter bout between him and Ricky.
2. Collazo is a southpaw - the only people hatton lost to in the amateurs were all southpaws.
3. Collazo is a natural light-middle.
4. Hatton's team tried to pile muscle mass on him in such a short space of time as they thought he was too small for the 147 division. This in turn made him lose a lot of speed and stamina, which was evident in the later rounds against Collazo as his legs had completely gone.

Make no mistake - the Hatton the faces Floyd will be a completely different animal to the one that faced Collazo.

And, Collazo is one big slick boxer that possesses excellent skills. His a former belt holder and he took Mosely to a recent decision (that he lost convincingly), but it did go all the way. To make the story short: Collazo's no pushover and he gave Hatton a tough fight. But make no mistake about it, Hatton won on points easily. He just got wore out the last two rounds.

i hope hatton has a new game plan because i don't wanna see another mayweather - Gatti

[Left2body]

Styles and the fact that Collazo was also probably the top 1-2 fighters Hatton has faced in his career. When you fight against better competition its harder to shine.

so why are so many people picking hatton to win then? ^

well whatever all i know is that it will be a hell of a fight
