Rewatching Mayweather-Hatton... Hatton is partly right

[Rick_Roll]

Cortez was terrible in the Popkins fight also where he let Bernard hold all night long
The guy is bias to American fighters

Either that or he was jealous of Ricky and Calzaghe facially

[J.B.moneY.]

the whole reason mayweather-hatton was purposed was because of hatton's ability to do damage on the inside....and the one area everybody said floyd was weak was on the inside...look what castillo did to him, and got ripped of by the judges in the first fight...but thats a seperate thread, i do think at 147 floyd is better than ricky....but the whole reason for that fight was to see if a great body puncher could get to floyd....didnt happen because of cortez

imagine what pacman's straight left hand will do to him coming in!!

That's the "old" Hatton, the new improved Hatton thats gonna turn up and shock the world on May 2nd will not be anywhere near as troubled by Pacs straight left.

Yes... and Pac will get more credit after he beat Hatton than Floyd because Ricky now has everything he needs to beat Pacman... He got experience of losing, his desired coach, and new fighting style..

hatton still would have lost without cortez

Here is the answer again..

Before you jump into conclusion, I want to clear my self again...

I am not saying the Ricky would have beaten Floyd if the referee is was not Cortez... and I am not saying that Hatton is better than Floyd because we all know Floyd is better...

My point is, the fight could have gone other way if the referee was just fair and square... Ricky had a little chance but Cortez left him no chance at all...

OK. I'll bite. At what weight is Hatton better than Floyd?

Hatton is partly right about Cortez... I am actually re-watching it now (just paused for couple of minutes) and there are a lot of times that Cortez did not break the clinching if the situation favors Mayweather...

Cortez is sucks..! I am not taking anything away from PBF but Cortez sucks.. I will give Ricky a little chance on if there is a rematch and the referee is either Weeks or Bayless...

The referee wasn't great and could have gave Hatton more leeway... but I don't think it would have changed the winner by any means.
