Of course Mayweather knocked him out. The ring post wouldn't have done that much damage seeing as it is padded. The fists he took to the face on the other hand would. Mayweather by that point was picking Hatton to pieces.
People underrate Mayweather's punching power. I'm not saying he is Julian Jackson but he hits pretty hard and efficiently.Comment

millions of people (well Americans anyway) voted for George Bush, doesn't mean they were right.
I inspired this thread, everything I touch turns to gold.I can't actual believe that this thread is still going on lol. Legendary thread by Larryx!

From this and the other thread that spawned it:
I agree, Mayweather is more comfortable at 147 because he's more equipped and a superior boxer, which allows him to transcend the size/strength/power disadvantages.
But Ricky and Floyd are the same size in frame, they both make small welters, so the weight really wasn't an issue in this fight.
Though, as a point of interest, if you listened to Ricky's camp, Hatton's entire gameplan was predicated on the belief he was bigger and stronger than Floyd.
A perfect distance? What kind of bull**** is this? He broke them, period. When the fight was allowed to go inside, Ricky came off worst there, too. The only one who did effective work inside (like landing a number clean punches) was Floyd, bodyshots, uppercuts. Watch the fight.
Besides, with that statement you're basically supporting what any number of Hatton's critics have levelled against him - that he d****s himself all over opponents as a crude, desperate measure to avoid being hurt by their best work as much as to establish his own offence.
the check hook wasn't a ko punch, hatton fought on, but the ringpost did the damage.
Hatton was still able to fight on and even when Mayweather threw his last punch, Hatton was still standing -eventually falling over by himself with exhaustion.
Mayweather isn't a knockout artist and Hatton could take his punches, but the double hit of the ringpost was too much, bad luck.Mayweather didn't knock him out. He caught him and he hit the ring post and got back up again.
Mayweather then hit him 5 or 6 more times and still couldn't knock him out, Hatton eventually fell over himself.
No knockout punch, just accumulation, ringpost and exhaustion.Only one-punch KO's count as T/KO's now?
After Hatton regains his feet, he holds desperately before Cortez breaks the fighters and Ricky is further hurt by a sickening, accurate left hook...couldn't find a still for this but you can see it at exactly 1:33 on HBO's clock here
His status switches from 'shaky' to 'leaving his senses' as he falls backward only for the ropes to hold him up, illustrated here

Sandman's coming, baby
Floyd moves in to unload, Cortez sees enough and restrains him as Ricky staggers sideways to escape the stepfather-like beating and, with no ropes to hold him up, collapses from the effects of Floyd's clean, precise punching

The aftermath - Ricky uses the Rockstar Energy Drink logo for a pillow

That's the definitive true story.
Now, please...dry your eyes, and let's never speak of this again.Comment
