    Ricky Hatton is an ABSOLUTE LEGEND

    Ricky put up an amazing fight. I am totally proud of him.

    I am amazed by his character after the fight, and the respect both fighters showed each other.

    Floyd seemed to start negative in my view, and milking that points deduction, but then the difference in skill really began and Floyd was amazing.

    Ricky was brilliant though for while he was in the fight, pressuring Mayweather, as Floyd said Ricky was the toughest opposition he'd faced.

    Hatton is an absolute class act.

    *I see all these ruthless threads calling Hatton a ***** or whatever* That's an absolute disgrace. Both fighters gave an excellent show, and I'm proud of both of them, and their honesty afterwards. Respect both fighters. Respect their hard night.

    Hatton really is a great guy. He took his loss like a true man. Yet all these american ****ers wanna spit on his name.

    Well lets see if any of em could go 10 rounds with Mayweather.

    Makes me sick.

      Exactly. Hatton is a credit to the sport.

        I was really rooting for Hatton, but he really brought nothing to the fight to beat Floyd.

        Really disappointed in him to be honest.

          I thought he gave Floyd something different, something he hadn't felt in a long time. Hatton was relentless, swarming on him. But he didn't have the accuracy to contact, and that was down to Floyd's skill.

          I dunno man, I just feel really sorry for him.

            I was a little dissapointed when Hatton accused Floyd of making it a dirty fight. Has Hatton ever NOT made a fight dirty? Floyd just didnt let it happen his way.

                Ok, but in fairness, if you look when Ricky landed that good shot and assualt, Floyd ducked away and under the ropes, out of the ring.

                That is seperate to the debate over Ricky's point deduction. The fact is Floyd ducked away and out of rope deliberate, and he hung over the ropes to enforce a points deduction, despite the fact the punch hit the ropes, not him.

                Yeah Floyd was smart, real smart. He knew just what to do.

                  Nah, don't think Hatton meant to accuse Floyd for fighting dirty.
                  Think he pointed out things Mayweather does so well that makes fighting him very difficult.

                    Hatton was working him for most of the first half IMO. At times it he was even winning clearly.

                    The KO was amazing though. Floyd does'nt even have that kinda 1 punch power but he just ****in caught hatton leaping in..POW.

                    I don't think he ever hurt someone that bad with a single shot.

                    Picture perfect.
