Mike should have done a bit of training with Ricky. He has to be about 300lbs now.

Hatton only fights one way. He did okay for a few rounds but nothin he coulda done woulda stopped him from losin.

Hatton does'nt only fight one way, pre tszu he used his skills a lot more and was not all pressure. Because of the way he fought against Tszu worked, he has stuck with them tactics since
Floyd was very very clever in their fight, he was talking to the media in the run up constantly about hatton holding. When it came to fight night it was floyd doing all the spoling and holding and when Ricky could not fight his fight he lost his head and went gung ho. Floyd just then picked him off and ended up knocking him out. You have to hold your hands up and applaud Floyd because he beat Ricky at his own game.
Tyson is right in what he is saying, Hatton should not have dived in and lost his head. I also think Ricky now knows this and thats why he wants to avenge the defeat

really mike, out of all the stuff thats happened in your life, what you wish for is that hatton would have taken a different approach against mayweather?

Although I give Hatton credit for putting on a valiant effort and for wanting to
make his fans and supporters proud, I don't think it would've made much of a difference how Ricky fought that night.

As you stated Floyd is very clever. And even if Hatton were to have fought a more careful fight, Floyd would have still beat him.

Had Ricky gone the distance, and managed to lose on a split decision, his efforts would have been more widely praised and we would have been anticipating a widely announced re-matched by now.

Ricky still has many fights left in him to continue.

He just has to win spectacularly to convince the powers that be that he has a better chance at a world title again, and possibly get Floyd's attention once more to do it again for another huge payday.

He needed to use more head movement, feints, and angles.

Your Floyd senses were tingling again. Pathetic.
