    Seriously..Did Floyd ruin Ricky Hatton??

    Hes looking pretty shot all of sudden...Lazcano was killing him power shots almost ko'd him..

    Manny think a natural 126 pounder will beat Hatton.

    Floyd ruined Ricky.

    Ricky's chin and confidence died iin the ring that night. Along with the hopes of all of Ricky's desperate little fans.

      The same thing happened to Hatton against Collazo, didnt it? and that was before the Mayweather fight. Collazo isnt exactly a huge puncher either, in fact hes kind of the opposite.

      he has been losing his punch resistance for a while now.

        Must have affected him psychologically. He was unbeaten going into that fight and it was built up a lot. Getting knocked out on the world stage can't be good.

        Add to that his lifestyle which many say has caught up with him.

        Still, he's a pretty damn good boxer still and I disagree about the Lazcano fight. He was hurt but he wasn't about to get KO'd again. I found it amazing that Lazcano managed to stay on his feet after the shots Hatton was getting in.

        So all in all, Floyd didn't ruin Hatton. He just tainted him, I guess.

          According to DD, Ricky is and always has been an average club fighter. So what was there for Floyd to ruin?

            The only thing Floyd did was show everyone how open Hatton is for a check hook.

            Ricky's always been reckless. People point to the Tszyu fight, and act like he wasnt lunging in with his chin up back then too.

                I think Ricky has been on somewhat of a slide for a while now. I think his lifestyle more than anything will shorten his career. It is a shame because he has some of the best offensive footwork I have ever seen in any fighter.

                He'll beat Paulie though. Paulie's gonna get mauled

                    no what ruined Hatton is his weight add and lossing.

                    imagine lossing 200 lb of weight every year really take a toll on your body sooner or later
