Hatton Hopes a Pacquiao Wins Leads To Mayweather Jr.

[znarfv_y2k8]

Pacman's style doesn't require the same kind of physicality which hatton's does. If anything being smaller and faster is an advantage to him.

Ok i agree w/ u in some point...thats one factor & a way to overcome odds & to greatness...

For me, if hatton wasn't KOed then their fight would be controversial... The thing is hatton was able to kiss the canvass not by the referee but by PBF... If it is a decision and PBF won, then it should be controversial knowing what happend during the fight with a seemingly bias referee... Unfortunately, it was a clear KO, a very clear left hook by PBF...

So what excuse would you give to that? the referee seems like he let PBF do his thing and hatton isn't? The only thing bias to me is when hatton hit PBF on the back of the head and then the referee deducted some of hatton's points...

I'm a Hatton fan but this guy is way to obsessed over Mayweather. To the point where I'm on the verge of not being a Hatton fan anymore.

Everything he says is Mayweather this, Mayweather that. Dude, you got your ass whooped by him, move along and look for victories elsewhere because you won't beat him.

i agree w/ u guys, what an honest observation of a fan...

Joe Cortez is a respected ref, & officiated many championship fights...its natural for a fan to behave like that but we have to be realistic, PBF is too far superior than Hatton even fighting Hatton's style of inside fighting...Hatton relies always on charging & holding but of course he's strong but boxing is not all about that its all about skills used wisely....

I think the bolded are reasons why Hatton gets cracked on here.

the ref doesn't let Ricky hold excessively and it's his downfall



Exactly.




plus on top of the referee business it doesn't help Hatton's case that he probably suffered 1 of the most embarrassing knockdowns in the past 10 years

(head first into a ring post for those that missed it)

so to complain about the referee when Ricky went head first into the corner is laughable.

and on top of all that I've seen boxers hold more then Hatton and get points deducted .. so it's beyond me how Hatton's Never gotten a point deducted in his entire boxing career.

Very,very true.

You just showed your nutthugging biasness.
C) So? A KD is a KD. Does a left hook that landed and caused a guy to drop not count now because you think it was grazing and somebody was off-balanced?

That wasn't even his best punch in the fight. His best punch came at the very end of the eighth round while PBF was moving in. Like I said, you don't know **** about boxing. There was no KD! The best you can say about your boy is that he ALMOST knocked him down? Good come back. You win!

[trainhard_187]

My bad that I changed the visuals so let me make up for that & show some bonus beat down poses PBF gave Hatton.

Yo man, you dont have to explain the outcome of the Mayweather fight to these Hattonites. The pictures do all the talking

[pugil1st]

good point, not one to ref whine but just watched the castillo fight again and joe let hattons tactics go fine there. why decide to do things different? not doubt in my mind someone high up maybe wanted to stamp out hattons mauling tactics and had a word with joe, just a though

I guess it's a coincidence that you're from England huh?

[lopez36]

i would have to disagree about the fight being controversial only if it had gone the distance,hatton already during the fight looked frustrated,so he already probably thought i have no chance...so it did matter how the ref was acting,which i thought he didn't let hatton fight his fight.
