I dont think I have ever heard anything so ****** in my whole life, in fact I think reading it makes us all that little bit ******er. To say Hatton lost because he has too many fans is rediculous, by all means say the pressure got to him, but in all honesty I dont think it did. He fought pretty much the way Hatton fights, and he didnt even tire THAT much, Floyd just stepped it up and made Hatton look slower.

the point is not that Hatton lost because of the crowd....but that the overwhelming crowd did have an effect on his performance....he was overexcited, was walking into punches, he normally would have been able to slip, was getting hit with so many right hand leans, wasn't pausing to recollect himself, wasn't thinking as much as a fighter in a title fight would, for example, jumping right on mayweather after getting knocked down, to get knockeddown again...any half decent boxer would know that if you are getting pummled, you try to stay away and try another strategy....Hatton didn't seem to change anything throughout the 10 rounds.
If we dont try to explain his bad performance, and just say, thats the best he could do...then we can conclude that Hatton is a very average fighterComment

he physced himself up, but if you mean he was trying to hard to put on a good show for his fans then you may have apoint, as he was over apologetic at the end to his fans, but I dont think it affected the resultComment

Yes i do mean that he was trying too hard to please the fans, which did not allow him to utilze his boxing skills to the max...Mayweather would probably still beat him(by the way he fought), but had Hatton been fully there, if he is not over rated as a fighter, then he would have inflicted more damage on mayweather than what we saw...Comment
