    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.
    hatton was never winning. he had a total of maybe 2 rounds he won.

      Inside or outside...

      There's no other guy as crafty as Floyd.

        Yeah, Ricky could have given Floyd a little more credit. Floyd fought a hell of a fight. I thought it was a little closer than the judges had it, but I would have taken a point away from Floyd for hitting Ricky in the back of the head in rd 7 or 8, and at least one for all the elbows to the throat. Nice flop job through the ropes, but Ricky shouldn't have tried to hit him in the back of head.

        Ricky made it competitive through 6, good fight.

          Respect to both fighters, the fight didn't start out that great when it got pretty dirty but on the whole they both showed why they are the top of the food chain.

              I am proud of Ricky also, anybody who knows both fighters styles will admit this was the only realistic way Ricky could have won the fight. Ricky showed how proud of a fighter he was by not backing off at any point in the fight, sadly it wasn't enough to overcome a supremely skilled fighter like Floyd.

                  Yeah he didn't let up. He could have laid back for the last few rounds and lost by decision, but instead he went for it. That's kind of guy he is. Anybody who respects good character will respect Hatton after his post-fight interviews. This is a good guy.

                    As an American, I'm very proud of Ricky Hatton. I've always liked the kid, always admired and respected him, and find him to be as humble and classy a guy you could ever meet. I was rooting for him even after the hostile crowd booed my national anthem, but he was just outmatched, plain and simple.

                    My opinion of Hatton hasn't dropped one percent.

                      Yeh the anthem thing is just smt common with some british fans, its not to be taken too personally. It comes out from football culture, and it's just means as a competitive thing, for a pscyhological edge really. Its not saying, oh we hate you. I cringe though when I hear it happen.
