    I wrestled for years. Saily. And guys a lot bigger and stronger than Hatton. On the ground. I've never been hospitalized the way boxers often are.

    Wrestling is tough, but not 'traumatic'. Medical people will tell you that trauma is more damaging.
    Yes, we all know that punches damage fighters but you were talking about it being a tough, physical fight which is a little different.

      I was addressing the "Floyd felt pains..."

      No. He did not.

        Of course he felt pains. In places he'd never felt before? I doubt it but of course he felt pains.

            Hatton said he did hit PBF quite a lot. And PBF did say Hatton was the hardest puncher he had fought. So im sure PBF felt a bit of pain.

              Hatton landed about half the shots that Delahoya did. And not as cleanly or hard. The Hatton groupies would like to believe that was a tough, physical fight for Floyd. It wasn't.

              Judah hurt Floyd a couple of times.
              Oscar gave him a close fight.
              Chop buzzed him.
              Castillo gave him the closest fight. And landed alot.
              Even the Chavez fight was tougher for PBF.
              Cut the crap. Hatton landed multiple punches on Floyd, no one else did.

                Hatton landed 60 punches according to Compobox. Say CB was wrong and Hatton landed 90 punches.

                That is still a fraction of the 260 Ricky landed vs both Collazo and Urango.

                And, no. Floyd never said Ricky was the hardest hitter he faced. Stop making things up.

                  Hatton landed HALF the punches that Delahoya did, and many fewer than Castillo.

                  What are you talking about?

                    I did wonder about that myself, Bozo. Though presumably the sensible approach would be to ask them for a source like I was going to, rather than call them a liar and then potentially be disproved?



                    This Hatton thing... he got KO'd and you're still talking about it... don't you think it's time to let go, Bozo?

                      In the post-fight interview Mayweather said: "He's one of the toughest guys I've ever fought." I think some people misheard this and it has since been altered slightly.
