Ricky Hatton IS A Clubfighter

[Bhopreign]

hmm,dunno how to take your comments m8 BUT after the bout he was JOKING to Merchant man....LoL

I know he was joking thats why i phrased it like that, umm duh, he slipped after Floyd clocked him.

[Bhopreign]

Ricky DID jab and jab his way in, but you cant expect to win the fight off a jab when you have a 6 inch advantage.

Actually it was a 7 inch reach advantage, but thats besides the point. Skill and smarts win fights. Not aggression, not pressure, not speed, skill and smarts. From watching Floyd's whole career, basing on what really wins fights, it was obvious Ricky would only win if he knocked Floyd out.

There isn't a club big enough to hold Hatton's massive amount of fans.

[StackMo]

Floyd said the same thing before the fight, yet I cant remember what punch he was nearly dropped by?

That is commonly known as the excuse making punch or the nearly happened punch.

Ok, I'll stop going by HBO numbers.

way to sidestep the issue.

You have to jab your way in with your guard up.

I see you're an expert. Could I ask, how many world titles have you won by "jab[bing] your way in with your guard up"? Or perhaps you are not a fighter, perhaps you are a trainer. How many world titles have your fighters won by "jab[bing] [their] way in with [their] guard up"?

You see I don't think you have to have a world title to criticise a world champion, but I do think you have to have a similar or greater level of experience if you're going to offer advice.

Dropped, even?



Ricky Hatton:

Jabs landed: 11
Jabs thrown: 63
% Landed: 17%

Rounds Fought: 10

Jabs landed per round: Ummm, one.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

this is idiotic. You're saying that Hatton's camp should have trained him to beat mayweather WITH the jab? LMAO, 6 inch reach disadvantage sucker.

Short fighters cant live on Jab alone----> Juan Diaz.

But short fighter CAN still land more than one jab per round.

See Pernell Whitaker. See Mike Tyson.

Cotto is shorter than Mosley with a significant reach disadvantage. Cotto effectively used the jab.

With 20 in long arms, what do you expect?

Floyd:

Total punches landed, 129
Rounds fought:10

less than 13 punches per round landed against an extremely easy to hit, 5'6" with 20" reach "clubfighter."

Best fighter in the world, yeah right.

Then this board should be pretty empty.
