    Team Hatton Gambled On The Weight

    They sent Ricky into the ring in his 140 pound state and he got blasted out by the bigger stronger man. Floyd was powerful enough to buckle De La Hoya and cast him backward with straight rights.. Floyd hit Ricky with deadly force.

    Floyd was too big for Ricky.

        Everything they did the way they did it put Hatton in the right place at the wrong time to get caught.

        There are dozens of reasons Hatton got leveled.

        He could have been knocked out either way but in the end he was clearly the smaller man. Billy Graham must have been smokin the pipe to think Ricky was going to be stronger. Of course he wasn't smoking and he did think that.

        Sort of my point really..

          okay so why is there only 5-7 pounds between weight classes if weight don;t matter? why have we seen some fighters completely change after moving up just 1 weightclass? you make a lot of ****** posts man

            They probably were expecting to outwork him. They probably wanted a light Ricky that could dish out an insane amount of punches.

            At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. We can argue about this until the cows come home.

            Mayweather beat Ricky Hatton in a competitive bout. Mayweather showed his stuff bro.

              Both of these guys were 'little guys' which is why it doesn't matter.

              Moving up 7 lbs in way doesn't affect the way you take a shot, numb nuts.

                Collazo is a lot bigger, stronger, and hits harder than Floyd and he didn't knock Hatton out. there are no excuses for this fight. both fighters came in well prepared.

                  Mayweather showed all the vulnerability people picking Hatton expected.

                    That is completely missing the point. Hatton came in at 160 for Collazo.
