Mayweather should get some credit. He fought one of the best fighters in the world last night and won by stoppage. Certainly, this surprised me. Mayweather unleashed some power (finally) late in the fight. After back to back wins this big, Floyd is an all time great.
However, he was still **** to watch as usual. When he was younger, the combos would flow like a river. Vs Hatton, he mostly pot shotted and held. The way he used elbows to the face, and his right arm to clamp down Ricky's left to his body, was annoying as hell. That is not boxing. It's dirty.
Floyd went through hell last night and showed some grit though. He fought fire with fire.
Hatton looked good for 7 or 8 rounds. He was definitely in the fight. But he got tired and the big stage affected him more than Floyd, though Floyd looked nervous in the early going. Perhaps no one will be able to mimick what Castillo did to Floyd. Hatton brought a lot of tenacity, but foolishly he smothered his punches over and over again. He could have given himself a half foot more on the inside to unleash his fast hands. Instead, he pushed Mayweather and tired himself out as he found Mayweather to have good stamina over the long haul.
Cong**** to Ricky for his effort, and Floyd for another big win. But what an ugly dirty fight. Please don't compare Floyd to Roy any more. Roy would have never been in a fight that lame with someone like Hatton, even with the mauling tactics of Hatton.
