I though he was the best but after that poor show, even when Billy Graham told him what the mayweather camp were going to do.
he did the same thing to Golota during the infamous 2nd Bowe fight, he went on and on at Golota in the dressing room before the fight and put him off.

How old are you again no1ko?

At first he was breaking them apart way to ****en much then he let them fight. The point was unwarrented and should have only got a warning. Floyd consitantly used the elbow and a few times laced hatton and floyd got no warning. Cotez wasnt' on his a game but he at least eventually let them fight.

Yeah, but by that time Ricky was tired from chasing the fight while Mayweather sat back and moved into the spaces.

The ref had too much of an influence.

He should be shot for stopping that fight so much, was ruining hattons motion

joe doesn't need your respect, ricky hatton relies on clinching and thats against the rules, joe did what he had to do.

Floyd's use of his elbow was to get Hatton off of him.

Cortez stressed to Hatton numerous times to quit with the holding. In the dressing room, Graham was explaining that Hatton has an "aggressive" style, etc. Cortez made it clear the fighters could fight, not wrestle.

Hatton gets away with that in the UK. He shouldn't. All the holding is unproductive and IMO, cheating. Hatton holds excessively.
