Will the KO of Hatton be known as "The Check Hook" in history?

[hugh grant]

The ref gave PBF the opportunity to land that hook when Hatton came in. By seperating them all the time, PBF had lots of chances to wait for Hatton to steam in. Otherwise Hatton would be right in front of his face ready for the body punch ala Castillo styly.

There was nothing boring about Mayweather's performance on saturday, he made me a fan.

Hatton made the fight exciting with his relentless pressure. 1 Mayweather fight doesn't make an exciting career.

Yet 44 fights of constant holding and hitting does? Get the **** outta here with that ****. Hatton is boring and proved it Saturday. The most exciting thing he did was ask Mayweather to butt**** him in round 6, which I thought was ****in weird. I mean Mayweather was basically raping him anyway, I guess he wanted to get it in the ass too.

Ali had the rope a dope for what he did against Foreman, "Down goes Frazier" was the saying for his fight against Foreman, "no Mas" for SRL and Duran. Will the KO of Hatton be known as the "the Check Hook"?

I thought it was a near perfect left hook set up and executed close to perfection and the result was classic stuff. Very devestating punch that left Hatton victim to an ESPY like highlight.

what do u all think? Does it warrant a slogan or nickname?

Yes! It will be mentioned on 2017's version of "legendary nights"..

If people can't figure out that Hatton was mimicking Floyd pretending to get his head punched through the ropes then you need to take the ballsacks off your eyelids for a second. I mean come on is it that hard to understand?

I can imagine when this fight is documented that reporters will say that "Mayweather rocked Hatton with what he called a check-hook", and then describe it, so I could see it happening.

No not at all. The check hook is a common term to boxers as well as the counter pull. Most people that box will know that. Floyd just called it what it is . It's like calling a over hand right .

True, I know it's a punch that is used and not invented by him, but Jordan winning shot against The Jazz is called ths shot and he didn't invent the shot.Based on the significance of shot and the effects i think it wil be called something if not the check hook.

That's the ref job. Clinching and hitting is not in the rules. U CAN"T HOLD AND HIT!

and I didn't see the ref breaking up anything when Floyd was outworking Hatton on the inside and backing him off. hatton had plenty of times for his chance to his body thang and couldn't succeed. How many times did Floyd just go to the ropes for him and roll off his punches?

He just got beat by a guy with no power who runs all the time, just face it.

I will say this, even though I don't think that Hatton would have won anyway, the ref did a terrible job in the fight. He did hamper Hatton by not allowing more in fighting and letting Hatton fight out of those clinches.
