Hatton would've beat Mayweather

[Pullcounter]

Actually Hatton hit him with a jab which knocked him off balance. It would've been a knock down if he'd gone down. Mayweather didnt do much in the first and Ricky set the tempo so I would think most gave him that round.

To say he won no rounds and was just given a beating is ridiculous.

He was outclassed in the later rounds by the better fighter. If they fought 10 times, Floyd probably wins 10. But a better ref and we'd see a better Hatton performance I feel.

nah if it was a better ref, floyd lands the check hook earlier.

[Benny Leonard]

Hatton deserves a rematch. Cortez clearly ****ed him in that fight.

Do I think he would win...probably not. However Hatton is so effective on the inside and in the clinch that taking that away from him is like taking away his best weapon.

Floyd was doing it right back and was getting the best of Ricky. Even Ricky said he was surprised at how strong and/or big Floyd was.

[War For 94]

yes he would

Nope......

Nah Ricky was a desperate man at that point and also tired. He knew he needed a knockout and was leaping in asking to get caught.

I think the best Ricky could do is lose a close decision.

Most? Lederman and that's about it. I don't even think Sky gave Ricky the first round.

Mayweather didn't do much? Other than a crunching left hook landed in the first 45 secodns and few righthands that landed cleanly, he certainly did more than Hatton did, and won that round on almost everyone's card. Hatton half-landed a jab on Mayweather while he was in an awkward position.

Floyd didn't do that to the later rounds, he tried it in the earlier rounds and got punched the **** out of it and dived out through the ropes (after which hatton disgracefully was deducted a point)

weebler your such a loser, Floyd's pitty patty punches aren't worth a ****, but they ktfo of hatton your such an idoit.

the only decent shots Floyd was getting in were the ones after Cortez broke the fighters up, the rest was pitty patty bull****. Hence Cortez breaking them up meant Ricky was set up to be hit.

got to disagree there dirk. Hatton was pumped like never before for that fight and caught mayweather hard with a shot in the second. He was stunned and left open and Hatton went to unload and Cortez rushed in to save Mayweather. I think it ends early with that ref we seen tonight, just like he caught Malignaggi early tonight but he would've finished Floyd early. Malignaggi is a survivor.

Arsed arguing about that fight. Done enough of that a year ago

I thought Hatton won 3 rounds tops the whole fight so im not trying to be biased. Just felt he set the tone and landed the most effective punch. Wasnt a clear cut round either way.

[Thread Stealer]

I agree. He'd beat a prime Jeff Mayweather and an aging Roger Mayweather.

Floyd was winning on the inside, but yes, he wasn't doing nearly as much early on. I never understood why Floyd adapted that boring ass cautious style. His other style was much better and more effective.

For the point deduction: Ah, Ricky threw a punch to the back of Floyd's head when Floyd had his back turned and in-between the ropes. You are not allowed to do that; it's dangerous.

Floyd didn't start fighting on the inside until the 7th. Thats when he got on top and Cortez thought it was ok to allow more inside fighting.

thats not what happened. Floyd threw an elbow to Ricky's face, caught him, Ricky lost his temper caught Floyd with two good shots, Floyd ran, turned his back and then dived through the ropes. Hatton, still mad, threw a punch and hit the rope.
