The Hardest Floyd Has Been Hit?

Guys,

In many ways, the Castillo fight is the best thing that happened to Hatton: it recaptured his fan excitement and support that he had lost, it got him the forum for a big payday with FMJ, and it put him in a power position with HBO.

But in other ways, that fight may also hurt him. The outcome of that fight seems to be shaping who he is - especially among his fans. It is almost as if his entire previous career didn't happen. Hatton stans are raving about Castillo's four broken ribs (never happened) and predicting that Ricky will annihilate FMJ.

Ricky is not that type of fighter. That Castillo punch was a lottery punch. Just like Nard's punch on Oscar was atypical for him.

Hatton's last few fights:

Castillo - 4 rounds

Urango - 12 rounds

Collazo - 12 rounds

Maussa - 9 rounds

Tszyu - 11 rounds

Oliveira - 10 rounds

Stewart - 5 rounds

Vilches - 12 rounds

Pedersen - 6 rounds

Tackie - 12 rounds

Rios - 10 rounds

Phillips - 12 rounds

His five-fight average prior to Castillo was ELEVEN ROUNDS. With that trend, I think it's fair to say that Hatton is more of a "wear you down" puncher than the "devastating" puncher that his stans try to paint him as. And that Ricky seems to be projecting himself as.

There is a reason that the over/under in this fight is 11.5 rounds...and it isn't just Floyd.

I've never painted him as a devestating puncher. He is a swarming puncher and he wears you out around the 7th.

but he does dig to the body extremely well. he is matched only by a few.

So do you think it is correct that unless it is a lucky shot, 1 body punch isn't going to put an end to the fight?

[Azteca]

No it's not......

lol.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Wait, you don't question Floyd's power for not being able to stop Castillo in 24 rounds but you question Hatton's for stopping him in 4?

Gavin,

Camacho stopped Leonard but Hagler could not.

Is Camacho (or Kevin Howard) a better puncher than Marvin Hagler?

Don't you think there's a "when" component to this?

[Fox McCloud]

No it's not......

lol.

So he is so devastating of a body puncher that he can KO a guy 1 weight class above him with a 1 nonlucky body shot?

You say he's not a devastating body puncher, yet, you think that he can end the fight with 1 body punch.

Umm, which one is it?

Another parralell between the Hopkins KO and Ricky's? Et tu, Dios?

Well, actually I'm not surprised. But let's not try to make it seem like Castillo's count and Delahoya's count were one in the same.

When did I ever say that, ya asswhipe.

Look Dwiens...I dont know if you realized but Mayweather started his career at 130 pounds. I believe he won the bronze medal at 128 lbs.

Last time I checked he's 3 weight classes above his original weight class.

The guy is clearly smaller then hatton, and naturally the smaller guy. It's not totally out of the many possibilities.

Hell, they could end up giving us a sparring match out there. What the **** do I know???
