Is the hatton crowd to blame for hatton's defeat

[DA1CATAS]

Hey... so tell hatton to stop being such a nice guy.. and such a friendly friend to everyone in his country.
Stop being so down to earth and hanging out with everyone he meets... stop shaking everyones hand and all that.


Hatton kept help that the people love him. and it comes with the ground when your somewhat of a star.

I think that the crowd is also responsible for Hatton's defeat. The support from the fans is great for a fighter, but too much can get overwhelming and might put the fighter under pressure to perform. Imagine walking into the ring, and every eye in the arena is poised on you, and everyone is expecting something extraordinary.
Hatton had more fans flown in than a world cup soccer game. Even the Americans turned British that night. This is bound to have a negative effect.
The crowd's chants were almost throwing Hatton onto Mayweather, without Hatton's consent.
I think he might have performed better had he been a little unpopular. He would have been more cautious, and would have been able to think in the ring more clearly..

No, I think it was the "check hook" thats respnsible for the loss.

Your right. He was a nobody in front of the largest crowd of his career in a fight being televised on TV stations all over the world.

I didn't say he was a nobody then..but you cannot compare the atmosphere around this fight with that fight against Tzu....this was a much bigger event, with the biggest title of pound 4 pound best on the line.....

Enough with the excuses. It wasn't the crowd or the ref or [insert excuse here]. Hatton had only one gameplan, he wasn't smart enough to adapt on the night, he was up against a bigger, smarter guy, the best boxer of his generation and he got KO'd. MAyweather's accuracy was phenomenal. Hatton did reasonably well, he put the #1 P4P under a lot of pressure, his fans shouldn't be looking for excuses. He lost to the better fighter, there is no shame or dishonor in that, it's just the way it is.

BIGGER event HERE...in ENGLAND zoo/ricky WAS HUGE..MEN ARENA HOLDS MORE PEOPLE THEN THE MGN GRAND

No excuse.

First off I am a Hatton and not a Floyd fan. I am going to have to agree with Floyd when he said Hatton would be 0-43 if he fought 43 Floyds. I thought Hatton put up a good scrap, but it was only a matter of time. It might have been more competitive if they met a few years back when they were both at 140. Maybe. Floyd is just that much better. Personally, I thought he should have never fought at 147 after Collazo.

hatton got beat by the better boxer,simple as...he thought he could out hussle and out muscle PBF,he was wrong,he thought he could beat PBF on the inside he was wrong.im a hatton fan but he got a lesson in controlled boxing.floyd just waited patiently to pick his shots late on when hatton was tiring.he is a class act.pity he is a **** most of the time

[yeahwhatever]

Not fans...skills...as in Floyd had too many. Hatton was in too heavy a weight class and didnt possess the acumen to hang with Mayweather.
Last Hatton Mayweather thread I even read...done with this one kids.
