If Hatton was more disciplined in his weight control....

[MELLY-MEL...]

I think he would be a LOT better if he had not balloned up in weight so much.

He always said that Duran did it and it didnt affect him so thats why he knows if wont affect him, he should have been disaplinned.

yes sir................

I think he will too but his days are definitely numbered. I just hope he doesnt fight Floyd again, it'd be embarrassing. In one corner you've got a guy never out of shape, always in the gym, always at or around his fighting weight and in the other you've got a guy that balloons up about 3 stone above his fighting weight and lives off Chinese and Guiness. Even if the two were equal in skill (which they're quite clearly not) this gives such a massive advantage to Floyd that he will always beat Ricky. As it is, I think any rematch would be a massacre that would end in about 4 rounds.

I agree, that's why I refuse to buy that fight if it happens. I don't even know if I'll be a fan of Mayweather anymore if he takes that fight.

I didnt know not ballooning up in weight kept you from lunging into your opponent with your arms down.

Hatton is not **** man! He isn't the best boxer but neither is Ricardo Mayorga, your boy in your avatar so what is your ****ing point? Plenty of fighters have been successful with out being great boxers.

Atleast my boy threw punches and didn't just clinch the whole fight. Plus Mayorga is 1000000x more entertaining than watching any of Hatton's fights.

Prime for prime Mayorga would make Hatton his *****.

lmao. Excellent point. I guess you see the same I see.

Holly **** are you right! If he could have fought at 135, he would have been a beast for sure, he was a beast at 140..

Good post.

I think he's gonna put a beating on Paul Malignaggi.

Thanks.

I hope he beats Malignaggi, but I'm not certain he will. Paulie at his best would be a handful for this Hatton, but Paulie hasn't been looking good either so...

yes sir................

Duran got absolutely wasted by Tommy Hearns aged just 32 (I think). The commentators said "he got old overnight". Ricky should pay attention.

yeah. he has showed signs. its obvious his ability to take shots has diminished.

not like the lunging is something new for him. thats his game, always has been. the up down weight, and taking to many shots has affected hatton a
lot in his last few fights.
