Graham: "Without Cortez, Ricky Beats Mayweather"

[Tuggers1986]

i don't think you like hatton.

It's got nothing to do with liking Hatton or not. He's talking complete sense. No matter what referee you put in there, Hatton would never beat PBF at 147.

dog your clearly only interesting in whining. Referee's in any sport are often key in the ultimate direction and outcome. From football, Rugby, to boxing also. If the ref is harsher than other refs, or harsher than even he himself usually is, on a certain thing, it's bound to suite one competitor over the other. It wasn't out of this world bad, but it was there. Do I think Ricky might have won if Cortez wasn't so harsh on these things? No probably not, but it would've been more competitive to whatever agree debatable, and Hattons mindset wouldn't have been poor, with him jumping in as a result, and getting KO'd.

Sorry but you can't say his head was in the right place when he was running like that, ok he was being outboxed, and shouldn't have let it get to him, but it did and its worth mentioning when considering the fight as a whole. In a rematch I agree with Graham, Hatton stands a good chance, he'll have learnt more from the fight than Mayweather would have.

Hatton's only prayer was to fight in Great Britain. When he didn't get it there, he knew he was dead in the water from day one and just picking up a paycheck. In the States, he has to actually box rather than wrestle and he can't box for ****, so he got absolutely annihilated as many said he would.

Graham just needs to let it go. I felt like Cortez did a decent job, not great, but going into the fight people knew that Ricky wasn't gonna make it pretty and for any ref that fight would have been tough. Anyways no matter who the referee was the same result would have happened.

LMAO at Tunney's hall of shame. That's some good stuff!

One struggles to take one seriously, when the type is like something found in a kinder garten, for visually impaired children.

Dude, Cortez just didn't do a brilliant job that's all I'm saying, there's people whom feel much more strongly. If Cortez was as easy on Hatton, as he was on Hopkins, the fight would have been different, and so would have Hatton. All that's debatable is how much. For me, I think you'd be a little surprised, Hatton said he felt like anything he did he was getting pulled up for, it made him fight differently. Certainly didn't help him, certainly helped Floyd.

I reckon it'd have been a points outcome if it were not for that, because Hatton said he felt he was behind with the points deduction, and not being able to do what he wanted. His instincts allbeit flawed, as a result of that, was to go out all guns blazing for Floyd, he went for a big punch, which Floyd timed and finished it. He wouldn't have been so wild even just without the points reduction, as he thought again allbeit wrong, that he was doing ok.

Lets just leave it there. Clearly you still have strong feelings to have started a thread on it, and said Graham needs to stop crying, when he made honest comments about just not being friends with Cortez anymore, if anyones crying it's you, ironically.
