Just watched the collazo fight.

[Easy-E]

I dont really care about all the weight excuses that hatton fanboys have spouted.

Only thing that troubled Ricky was the 6 weeks he had to prepare for Collazo. 5 and a half weeks actually. He had to totally switch his training camp around. Before he was training to fight an orthodox fighter (Juan Lascano) so he was adapting his training methods to the fact that Juan was orthodox. He had to switch everything up.

Are you kidding me 6 weeks in camp is more than enough all Ricky would do is get different sparring partners and pratice a few different techniques, but his basic training was there.
No excuses for this fight, Collazo made Ricky work for the W.

hatton looked like absolute **** in that fight, like a club fighter, are you trying to say that any of the fighters you mentioned looked that bad in those fights, no ****ing way.

Hatton may have had a bad night, which is possible. All fighters have them.

imo for people to put hatton in the top ten pfp is insane. he got knocked down by a b+ fighter, i dont care if it was scored or not. he could have easily lost that fight. he was hurt badly by collazo. i can only imagine the beating he is going to take from a much more skilled fighter and accurate puncher who has only slightly less power. and i wanted to watch the fight objectively, i thought i did, and i was very dissapointed with hattons performance, because i do think he is a good guy and would like to see him win pretty much every time he fights with the exception on dec 8. im not trying to flame, someone please explain to me why im wrong, because hatton reminded me a bit of gatti in the sense that he is very easy to hit. and i dont believe great fighters can have bad fights unless they are injured, so i dont want to hear that he just didnt bring his "a" game.

You say b+ like it is some kind of official term. Its ridiculous.

didn't hatton have a Flu coming into the collazo fight?

adding to the fact that collazo has knocked out guys when he fought at 154 light-middle.

and hatton tried to put on as much weight as possible for the collazo fight.

team hatton clearly said that was a mistake, and said they will have hatton come in a little over the light-welterweight limit to keep his speed, and be closer to his natural weight class. like at around 142-144.

collazo is a southpaw, too.

that's right, collazo made hatton work very hard for that close win.

Collazo is a bad fight for anyone yo and he's bigger than Floyd, they have the same difference in KO's but Collazo is taller and though he's not AS skilled he is a South Paw, VERY hard to deal with.. I think Floyd beats Hatton but Collazo was too much for Hatton.. knock downs go unseen sometimes yo it's like Floyd when he went down against Judah, sometimes the ref just doesn't catch it but for the most part Hatton mounted enough of a fight to where he could walk away a winner, Hatton is better than a lot of people think it's just he's sluggish, he tends to hold too much and sometimes, actually ALL the time bases his offense on clinching once he's done hitting, he's shown other tendencies like coming in from odd angles and **** but overall I think Ricky is a problem in his own right.. 100
