Yet in the fight with Mayweather he fights like some damn C level fighter. His body work isn't effective and doesn't fight in ANGLES like what Graham said, but instead just goes forward and tries his hit and hold "technique". Now you know why Hatton usually fights in Manchester, it's because the referee there only allows Hatton to do is hit and hold "technique".
    So you're basing your complete evaluation of Hatton on one fight against the best fighter on the planet?

      Agreed! Winky is an awesome fighter (lack of KO power aside) with one of the BEST defences in the bizzo! He's a cagey Southpaw who always comes to fight. I was particularly impressed with is victory over Mosley and the moment he dropped his hands and let Mosley hit him with a couple of thunderbolts! Even Vargas fight was awesome viewing! Definitely got robbed against Taylor!!!

        No doubt it is Kelly Pavlik

        He turned from midwest tomato can fighter to superstar overnight.
        Miranda was no doubt weight drained and that made Pavlik look good.
        Than he fought the way overrated Taylor who had never faced a puncher. Even Taylor who had never put anyone on the canvas in like 2+ years almost KO Pavlik.

        Dont get me wrong. Pavlik proved something. He is just being put way way to high on people's list.

          Not just one fight, most of his fights he did that. I would say he looked better in the Mayweather fight than his previous fights, and that's saying something. He did his hold and hit technique against Collazo, he barley outboxed one dimensional boxer Juan Urango, and fought a dirty fight against Tszyu, when he should of been disqualified for all that holding and hitting. Hatton has proven that he's overrated and limited both offensively and defensively.

                Mayweather can't be the most overrated though, because for everyone who puts him as a god of boxing, there is someone else who thinks he is a ****ing bum.

                    Hold on, Jermain had two fights with Hopkins and one fight with Winky Wright in those 2 years, don't act like Taylor doesn't have any power at all.
