Why doesnt anyone give ricky hatton credit for callazo?

[ALT=_=Assassin]

Hatton's own fans don't give him credit for that win...... They claim it proves he is not fit to be at 147 because he didn't dominate Callazo. The truth is Luis will always be a handful for any fighter in that division. Even a naturally big, gifted welterweight in Berto struggled with him throughout the fight. Before he broke his thumb Mosley also was facing resistance from Luis. He is an awkward southpaw with a high work rate that would of caused the same problems for Hatton at Jr Welterweight IMO.

People... Almost knocking someone down in the late stages of a fight.. does not seal a win, if you lost 7-8 of the 1st 10 rounds.. I know that fight ended not so good for Hatton.. BUT fights are 12 rounds.. and Hatton won more rounds than Collazo.. even if Collazo won his rounds More impressively..

Even winning the latter stages of a fight .. can't erase what happened earlier... (see Williams Margarito)..

Hatton Collazo has always been a fair decision.. except for those who don't like Hatton.. or those whose pride was stung when they picked wrong..

True story!

You know how the brit haters love to hate.

His owns fans degrade Collazo and the win..... Insecurity at it's best.

Even Hatton's own fans dont give him a lot of credit for that fight because if they go one claiming Hatton won that fight decisively, then it gives Mayweather more credit for beating Hatton who, by Hatton fan admission, could very well fight at 147.

I scored it for Collazo regardless and Hatton looked unimpressive.

I am glad you realize Collazo is tough fighter and it wasn't just Hatton being uncomfortable at 147

I was just thinking why people give andre berto credit for beating collazo while ricky hatton fought a better version collazo for the wba belt and he was the smaller man and won?

berto doesnt get any more credit than hatton did... your premise is false.

It was a very tough close and competitive fight, which i think is more than what most people figured they were probably getting in the American reintroduction from Hatton.

I think Collazo was pretty impressive as he adjusted nicely throughout the parts of the fight to a very difficult style (which is Hattons hallmark). I thought the decision was right as the knockdown from Hatton was enough to give him the decision in a fight that could have easily been a draw.

Hatton did carry the pace of the fight for much of the night and although he is not a clean fighter, that is a byproduct of the style he fights. You cant really fight in close quarters for the majority of the time and be squeaky clean. Worrying about it from Collazo may have lost him the fight as he wasn't protecting himself when he got dropped early on.

Robbery claims were flying around this board like always when Berto won.......
