In what place do you put Hatton as for giving Floyd a challenge

Ricky's good, but Floyd made him look like ****. The only rounds that were close were the ones when Ricky wasn't getting hit, cuz he wasn't hittin Floyd either in those rounds he won.
Anywho, he's one of (or was) the best p4p, but his style is very bad against a guy like Mayweather.(we all saw that on Saturday)Comment

1. JLC
2. Chavez
3. Zab Judah
4. Chop Chop Corley
5. Augustus
6. DLH
7. Ricky Hatton
I think people underestimate how close the Judah fight was because PBF dominated the later rounds so much but Judah won 4 of the first 5 rounds and 5 rounds all together. If they would've awarded him the KD he would've been even closer.
I think DLH like Hatton were a lot of sound and fury but did very little. They worked hard but not effectively.Comment

1) Castillo (Floyd fought with one arm)
2) De La Hoya (much bigger than Floyd, tried to bully him)
3) Judah (faster than Floyd, utilized this for four rounds)
4) Augustus (didn't win rounds but made Floyd bleed by roughing him up)
5) Chavez (won a few rounds)
6) Hatton (won a few rounds)Comment

u know what iv only been a member of this forum for a few days and already im sick of this ****.
1. there wasnt a fight. even punching the top rope was so serious in the refs eyes that hatton had to lose a point without a warning for it. hmm.
2. Quote 'referee' joe cortez to hatton ' u cant hit him when hes bent over man', i was watching the fight with 11 mates and we all went WHAT THE ****! as one man whan he said that. iv prolly watch 20 thousand boxing matches in my life and iv never heard the ref say that before.
3. the 'ref' warned floyd 4 times in less than 2 minutes in the second round when he first started to forearm smash and spike elbow ricky in the face, once he realised maywether wasnt going to stop it (i assume floyd was doing it cos it was a much harder fight at that point than he anticipated) he simply allowed it until the mid point of the ninth round, by with point the damage was done and it was obvious hatton was going to lose. and even then he only said dont do it twice.
for anyone whos thinking thats bull**** or whatever, ask yourself how many times floyd would have been allowed to elbow odlh in the face without getting dq'ed. he wouldnt have made it out of the second round.
as far as im concerned there wasnt a fight, if one fighter is penalised excessivly as hatton was, and the other is free to foul, who really is going to win?
btw, this isnt sour g****s, i didnt think hatton would win, nor did ANYTHING i read in england, now did ANYBODY i know, but i thought he would be given a chance to fight. its just a shame he wasnt, but peeps need to stop going on about the 'fight', hatton would have needed to knock maywether out to get a draw, with the referee that night.Comment

regardless of what ever any of you lot say, Ricky fought Floyd at his absolute prime. None of the other fighters did apart from oscar but oscar was bigger and stronger than Floyd
Not one of the other fighters u mention fought Floyd at his peak and yet Ricky fought floyd on floyds terms, in Floyds home town with a height, weight and reach disadvantage
when u think of it like this only an idiot would dissagree with the fact that Ricky did very well and should be congratulatedComment

Floyd said it was his toughest fight he has ever had. Floyd hit hatton with alot of shots in round 8 that would of ko'd oscar and zab but hatton took them and still fought back.Comment
