    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.
    Hey!! Wasn't that fight scheduled for TWELVE rounds?? What happened?

      Like I say criticism is fine. Advice is something different. This chump suggesting that Hatton should jab his way in with his guard up is like me saying Floyd Mayweather should keep his left hand up to stop right hands. Who do you think has a better idea of how to box, me or Floyd Mayweather?

        You try running into a ring post full speed head first and see if it doesn't put you on ***** street.

            "run into"... or "get knocked into"?

              Edit: You do know that Ricky is from England and not Wales dont you? Oh, BTW you should be a detective. I cant believe you "guessed" I live in Wales as easily as you did, its almost as if I typed it under the heading "Location".
              Actually no punch landed, look at the replay and slow motion it and you'll see the punch didn't come near to landing.

Let me guess youre from Wales and probably even after seeing Ricky get KNOCKED OUT, think he slipped like the comic relief he provided to Merchant. Except for the money Floyd provided Ricky, he should have stayed in Europe, preferably Manchester. Roger was right in that he is a face first fighter. What skilled fighter keeps his guard behind his head, how moronic is that.
                Ricky Hatton isn't Welsh.

                  They ****ed up. They had no strategy just to bull rush. Even Hatton stated he was too gun ho. All he did was maul Mayweather and tired himself out. He should have used a jab maybe it could have helped. Compubox had him thrwoing like 20 plus jabs. I don't recall him jabbing once.

                    Guys,

                    You gotta decide on when you are gonna make distinctions among the various UK countries. Or not.

                    I called Paul McCloskey (a Northern Ireland fighter) a "countryman" of hatton's, and was eviscerated for that. Yet, they play on the same Olympic team.

                    Tom Jones - who is Welsh - sang the national anthem for the UK.

                    Joe calzaghe is often referred to as "British" and never corrects anybody.
