    So tell me what was so wrong about what I said.

    Hatton walked into a lot of crisp punches as he was charging in, right?

    Mayweather nullified Hatton completely on the inside, I can't recall Hatton ever landing any of his trademark 'rib cracking' body shots.

    Floyd was beating him at his own game. Hatton felt he would control the fight with his aggressive style, but Floyd was prepared and adapted well.

      I can understand you're bitter about him losing to the better fighter who was clearly on a different level the entire time................but you don't have to discredit the performance Hatton put up. He was active, and tried the exact gameplan that everyone KNEW WOULD BE HIS ONLY SHOT: to pressure Mayweather and smother his punching range. He did that effectively and was able to win some rounds making the fight close until he got caught.

      So when was it that Ricky Hatton was a defensive specialist who didn't walk forward into punches? lol he's known for his tenacity and his willingness to WALK THROUGH PUNCHES to get to someone. If you're "dissapointed" you should at least know a bit about your boy before you become thus.
      I'm not bitter at all. In fact I think I'm coming around as a Mayweather fan.

      As for not knowing anything about him...Hatton himself claimed he wasn't 1-dimensional and that he was going to prove it, so I expected to see him change things up.

        It seemed simple enough to me. A very good fighter stepped up in weight against the best fighter he had ever been in with and was outclassed. No disgrace in that. I was hoping Hatton would do better but my only complaint was Joe Cortez butchering the fight with his biased officiating. But it wasn't Cortez that hit Ricky with that wicked left hook.

          once the point was taken hatton seemed to self destruct! he let his emotions go,and forgot about the game plan. he got hot headed, and screwed himself. he was doing well till than! oh well, nothing to say now, but bring on pbf-cotto!

            That's what you call gifted talent.

            It cannot be taught.

            It must come from within.

              Another newb boxing fan.

              Wow, I've never seen you before. Pretty much the same mentality of the 20 new guys that spout uneducated ****.

              **** off sloth.

                Whats crazy is hatton did what he always did tonight. It has nothing to do with him being unprepared,he just isnt good.Who has he beaten? no one.He can push around those losers and over the hil fighters but what happens when he fights a A+ opponent?He looks like a amature. Nothing he did he should feel good about. He landed 6 punches a round and got hit by 160 of 350 punches. Thats horrible, e****ally when 100 of them were power punches.I dont think hatton could beat mosley form the cotto fight to be honest...

                  I'm suprised to hear this.

                  Another uneducated opinion from a fighter who watched 24/7 and wanted to get involved with boxing.

                  Educate yourself about the sport, young man.

                    Pure ignorance. Hatton is a very good pressure fighter. He is just to small to have ever had a chance against Mayweather.

                      You educate me. Tell me one apsect of the fight that Hatton won?He did nothing that he can hang his head on.He did what he always does. Bull rush, put his opponent on the ropes and wale away. But the difference was the opponent. The best fighter hattons ever face befor mayweather was Callazo. Did u watch that fight? Did hatton look impressive to you?That constant pressure **** might work on a washed up Tszyu but we talkn bout the upper class now.I dont think he could beat cotto,margrtio,willaims,mosley,DLH,clottey, shid i cant even think of contender he could beat. The guy just isnt good. Hes a product of popuarity. Watching him lower his head and uses c class fighters as a body bag is entertaining, but you cant do that on a world class level.
