It is amazing how you see a fighter age in one night.

I think you're a good poster en all but I noticed you've had Hatton in your should be retired section for ages now. Me thinks you're view really influences your perspective on this fight.
I think you should look at it more objectively.

Ehhh, no I have not. Take another look, he is not in my should retire soon section; that is the real Hitman Tommy Hearns. I thought he sharp against Floyd just with a bad game plan. It is possible that he just did not train that much for this fight. We'll see soon.

*Plays ignorant Hatton fan*

Who's that?

Seriously though

Are you a yank? Should have known it'd be beyond you to include a British fighter in your faves

Anyway, I think you'll find he did train lots for that fight.... Chest infection problems before hand though, and coming off a KO loss.

[MANGLER]

A bad KO loss like the one to PBF sticks with a fighter. And he's taken a lot of abuse in his career. Hatton's definitely older than he should be as a fighter.

[BmoreBrawler]

He's look alright but I know what you mean.

Gassing and walking into punches. It really puts Mayweather's win into perspective.

wow, ok. This whole "Hatton is shot" thing is a big conspiracy by the brits to discount Mayweather's win. Hatton looked great, Lazcano hurt him with a few low blows and now everyone panics. There are plenty of other ways to discredit Mayweather's win, cmon now

I am changing it. Hatton is one of my favorites as was Nigel Benn. Not a typical American nut hugger. I like fighters; not skin color or heritage. I think Wilfred Benitez is one of the classiest fighters ever, you guys should see after he LOSES his belt to Sugar Ray how gracious the guy was...

incredible

I am american and think Ricky looked sharp gainst Floyd just had a horrific game plan. He could not have been in better shape for that fight IMO. But, I also think that that fight aged Hatton as evidenced in todays fight...

[squealpiggy]

I didn't think it was a good showing for Hatton but at the same time he still absolutely dominated Laszcano. I had him winning ten rounds to two, and I don't see how a "shot" fighter can beat top ten ranked opposition by that margin.

Hatton got hit far too much but at the same time he didn't gas in the middle to late round and I think that was the key worry.

[MELLY-MEL...]

i love watching ricky, and although i think he is still a very good fighter, he is not the same guy who dismantled Tsyzu!

I can't imagine that. I believe that RH trained like a fiend for this fight.

"dismantled" is a strong word. Did Mayweather dismantle Ricky?
