Timothy Bradley: "Mayweather Exposed Ricky Hatton"

[Chunk..]

Damn, Ricky Hatton gets no love around here.

Bradley did good beating Witter, but it'll be a while before he gets Hatton, if he does get to fight him. He needs a few more fights first.

Not to mention that Hatton will be in no rush to fight a speedy young guy with good pop on the way up.

I was on here last fall during one of my rare "unbanned" periods. There were A LOT of hardcore boxing fans on here picking Hatton.

sure there was, and now they are saying ricky was too small for floyd and would have won if the fight was at 140. these losers always have an excuse ready made.

they never seem to bring up hattonb's binge drinking and balloining in weight as factors that contributed to his demise

oh you mean the 64 % who voted in this thread? ohhhh wait, they voted for Mayweather. hmmm and only 36% voted for Hatton.

like ive said before, you guys LOVE making floyd out to be the underdog yet evidence always calls out your BS. Floyd hasnt been an underdog since Corrales. stop playing the victim.

[Breakbeat]

this is complete bull

most Boxing fans on NSB thought Floyd was gonna win i dont know why haters try to pretend that every man and his dog who is British thought Hatton was gonna win

there were a lot of casual fans who are mainly Football fans that went to watch Hatton that thought he was gonna win but thats because they are casual fans that have never seen Floyd fight before

Even so called pro commentators and boxing pro's had Hatton winning this one.......because Hatton is the pressure fighter of course!

Don't knock Hatton fans. At least he is pretty much known as one of the top 3 most supported fighters in the world. I dont remember exactly, but I cannot think of another fighter who can bring 17-20k fans 3 thousand miles and half way around the world to watch him fight. I know Mayweather could'nt. Hell, Oscar only had 27k fans at his homecoming against Forbes in LA. No matter if your man loses, wins or gets soundly Ko'd. Being a fan is about supporting your man no matter what happens and sticking with them through thick and thin. Take Roy Jones for example. I have been one of his biggest supporters since the late 90's. I was amazed at his skill and speed and it drew me in to becoming a fan with the other millions in the USA. Then, after the back to back KO losses, all of the sudden the bandwagon jumpers fell right off. I stood right there and still supported my boy and still do. No matter what anyone says, I still think Roy will win every fight. So, in reality you point is moot.

The difference is RJJ has fought bigger and better opponents......Hatton gets so hyped up her in Britain for fighting average fighters and boxers on the decline.......

Nobody said that Floyd was an underdog. But think about it: almost 40% of HARDCORE fight fans picked Hatton to win.

36% is not "a lot" in your mind?

Hatton didnt get exposed... he lost to the number 1 p4p in the world. I can agree with the fact that as far as competition ricky shouldnt have been first in line to fight Mayweather and you could make arguments that there are alot of other fighters that were more deserving.
But at the same time ricky was the biggest draw, we all know its all about the money, and that was at the time by far the biggest money fight out there. Its no surprise what happened, but ricky did come to fight and was in the very best shape of his life, fought his best and got knocked out. I dont think it was the blowout everyone says it was but we'll see what bradley does with his career, hed lose to hatton pretty badly imo.

Exactly. It's ridiculous.

I see people are questioning Ricky being in the same ring yet people forget Floyd fought Baldomir.
