Team Hatton Gambled On The Weight

[Azteca]

Leonard Ellerbe is also Floyd's fitness trainer.

I know.

Kerry and Leo aren't exactly boxing minds. Just saying.

it does not matter. why don't you just deal with Hatton getting KTFO instead of making lame excuses. Hatton loss to the best of his era.

Excuses for what? I picked Mayweather to win. Another brilliant statement from you.

I never said he was feather fisted. Trust me, I know better.

I still think it's good.

He got beat by the best fighter of this generation. And the best fighter since the Fab 4.
No shame in that.

Was that your assessment of Floyd prior to four hours ago?

Plenty different, DIOS.

It took me to see this to realize the true greatness.

I always called him an all timer. But I never thought he was this good.

He makes Hopkins look crude.

But this thread is about "the weight". That is a fitness trainer isue. Not (solely) a boxing trainer issue. Agreed?

FROM SHAWN,
Hatton had a better chin coming into the ring weighing 160lb than coming in weighing 145lb. Hence, Hatton could take punches from the harder hitting Collazo at 160lb, but not the lighter hitting Mayweather at 145lb.[/QUOTE]

sounds like a lame excuse to me. Cotto struggled with weight and took the shots better when he moved up in weight. Hatton moved up and has a weak chin. your point?

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

Floyd is only the best fighter since Roy Jones jr.

And personally, Id give that honor to Ivan Calderon.
Its incredible how quickly people forget the past.

Floyd's performance tonight was very subpar for Floyd. Lots of single pot shots. Lots of dirty fighting and inactivity.

Floyd only had 2 brilliant moments in the fight. The two combinations he put together against Ricky in the center of the ring.

So all of about 25 seconds of the fight was really brilliant. I actaully thought Ricky was done after the first one, but he came back.

Other than that, Floyd just kinda sat there while Joe Cortez pulled Ricky off him.
