Those posters who thought Hatton would beat Mayweather
Collapse

...I saw the fight and I was shocked that Hatton didn't go down 2 times...he got stood up on his heels but kept coming...I was shocked...and I'm really shocked that Koysta quit, admittedly after being hit so few times...the funny thing here is that people aren't seeing how Hatton wears people down, enough so Koysta was breathing heavy by the 5th...he doesn't just wear you down with punches, he wears you down by you fighting him off of you, trying to keep him from hitting you...he's a rough character that has done this in all of his fights...Koysta has never been roughed up before and he's a hard punching version of Mayweather...he's a very good boxer and when he's in the middle of the ring, he will eventually land that one straight right that has you doing the "fish flop"...except Hatton didn't go down...the pyschological part of boxing is over looked, so imagine if you are Koysta and you hit a guy with your best punch, a punch that has dropped a whole bunch of opponents, and all it does is back him up for a second...and then he starts roughing you up again...you either take the beating like a man or you quit...Hatton is a throw back to the 50's & 60's, that just doesn't wear you down with punches, he makes you work every muscle in your body trying to keep him off of you...he's a heck of a good FIGHTER...

I'm not sold on where Tszyu was at physically that night. If he was "flat" as he said, which would indicate he did struggle with weight, that could be part of the problem, if not the problem.
Tszyu's best days as a pure boxer were behind him years ago; he was past his prime...I've talked about this before.
It's not to try to take anything away from Hatton, but I'm just being honest and I am not the first person to bring it up...and I'm not talking about "posters."
I do think it was a great way of fighting Tszyu that night and it worked.Comment

This is precisely what I have been saying ever since that fixed fight. In fact, I saw what was going on as soon as I saw Cortez commence his crooked little act in round one.
Where's that photo of Cortez hugging and kissing Mayweather after the fight? I was posting that one, but now I can't find it. Cortez was so overzealous to please his handlers and earn his ****** sheckels that he even deducted a point from Hatton for no known reason, and then he started hugging Mayweather after the phony fight.
These boxing mobsters don't even know how to be subtle. They're crooked and proud of it.Comment

Well every time hatton got close enough Mayweather would grab him....so the ref had to separate them....Comment

The bent ref was there to see to it that Hatton was not going to fight on the inside. They even built a special giant ring for Mayweather. Plus the usual hired judges.Comment

That was why they hired Cortez, to see to it that he didn't.

What does all that bull**** have to do with a single salient fact in this case?
They ought to have a minimum age limit on these boxing forums, like 12, to keep them from being cluttered up with thousands of crap posts like this, and the endless threads about who they think could beat up who, and who they hate, and what boxers they like to jerk off to at night.
