RICKY HATTON: "I can't stop crying."

[StackMo]

You can cite quotes all you want but quotes don't back up sweeping generalisations.

Indeed they do as they are documented happening. You do realize this fight was filmed and broadcasted right?

No. he wasn't.

But to be fair to Hatton, he was amped up by the crowd, and he was goaded out of his normal routines by Floyd.

The funny thing is that Floyd STARTED OUT manic, and as the fight got closer, PBF became cooler and more focused. Ricky started out cool and funny, and got wilder as the fight neared.

Floyd is an idiot in alot of things. but he has an amazing ability to stay focused and calm in a boxing context. That is why I call him the Rain Man of Boxing.

I agree with you about Floyd's composure and calmness, absolute top draw. I was there live and when he started to make his ring walk the atmosphere was very hostile and intimidating. I was thinking how can anyone deal with this and stay focused, but Floyd is definately a great professional in that respect.

Eh yes but you seem to have selective hearing.

Quite impossible as this not an audio forum and you choose to ignore the obvious truth.

Malignaggi and Hopkins??

Malignaggi is a definite but I think the other fights will probably be against guys moving up in weight. Juan Diaz is a name that has been mentioned.

We were talkin about the the fight that was broadcast. Or did you just read about it?

I am talking about the fight broadcast as well where the excuses began to spring forth immediately following Hatton's fist to head and head to corner KO.

But presumably you missed it when Hatton said the best man won.

Moz,

Hatton DEFINITELY said that.

BUT....

they had not even left the ring yet when Hatton/Graham kept saying "Ricky is a junior welterweight. He was moving up". Team Hatton has Tourette's with that **** since 12/9.

[starjammer]

It always does. I guess the subsequent excuses and the 'fluke' comment didn't soften the blow of a TKO loss.

You're talking like you misinterpreted Hatton's 'Fluke' comment as though he was serious? There were whole threads devoted to this, and a whole country's sense of humour to back it up.
