Team Hatton Gambled On The Weight

[Azteca]

Mayweather pros - Fighting genius, defensively impeccable. Smart fighter with exceptional defense on the inside. Wonderful boxing fundamentals, which allows him to utilize his speed in combination punching without opening himself up too much. Wonderful speed.

Mayweather cons - Negative style. Tendency to not force the issue when he has his opponent hurt. Not incredibly mobile for a such a genius. Average power. Low punch output. More or less untested in tough fights. Never really had to gut out a win.

Can't really use weight as an excuse when Ricky was the one calling out Floyd.

Perhaps he had no business at the weight, but he wanted it.

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?

he has none.[/QUOTE]

The point is, Hatton had a better chin when he came into the ring at 160lb than he did when he came into the ring at 145lb.

I could argue either way.

Who really cares anyway.

No you cant.

Hatton got knocked out weighing 145 against Mayweather.

Hatton took Collazo's best shots weighing 160.

Its none disputable. Hattons chin was better when he weighed 160lb.

1) Hatton got KO'd by "average power"
2) I thought that RH made it a tough fight.
3) When PBF hurt RH, he went for the jugular tonight.

he's never had to dig deep to win a fight, maybe because nobody was good enough to challenge him.

that makes no sense but OK. Hatton shouldn't even be coming in the ring at 160 any way. another post where you make excuses.

You are seriously bordering on incomprehensible.

What am I making an excuse for? You do realize that we are debating the effect of weight on a fighters ability to take a punch, right?
