Hatton P4P No.1?

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

A fair fight is thus:

* when inside fighting is allowed throughout the fight not just when one fighter is on top

* when fighters are not allowed to throw elbows as much as they please (as Mayweather was allowed to)

* when fighters are not allowed to jump out of the ring when the going gets tough (as Mayweather was allowed to)

* when fighters are warned about holding (not just the one fighter who wasn't actually doing the holding)

* when fighters are forced to stay above waist height (unlike Mayweather who ducked down)

* when fighters have to face their opponent (unlike Mayweather who turned his back)

* when the fighters are treated fairly and equally when it comes to verbal warnings (unlike when Ricky unfairly received the warnings)

* when the fighters are actually allowed to fight without the referee jumping in to make it all about him


that, my friend is a F-A-I-R fight, let's hope we see one in May, none of this pre-determined b/s

That was what he got in the MAyweather fight and he got KTFO by May!!!!!!!!

Stop the nonsense!!!!!!!!!

[Spacey1991]

the main reason he won was Cortez jumping in. It suited Floyd's rhythm perfectly and kept the fighters at a perfect distance from each other. He'd always catch ricky on the way back in. Cortez splitting them was the key element.

Everyone can tell your biased from that scorecard in that sig.

Oh come on, he didn't get that in the Mayweather fight. Cortez did a terrible job. Would Hatton have won? probably not, but Cortez made Hattons job 10x harder.

Everyone can tell you're honest from that scorecard in that sig.

fixed......

I would rather concentrate on a great fight between 2 great fighters than this pound 4 pound nonsense.Its all subjective and 90% of people on here are tribal in some way or have an agenda towards one fighter or another.

I am a supporter of Hatton btw,but how can he be p4p#1 by beating pacman? there are other fighters in other divisions who are going to have fights that could influence the p4p list.If Hatton beats Pacman then he can say he beat the world p4p #1,not a bad achievement by any standards,but imho he would have to beat pac and then moseley or marquez or all 3.If he can do that then it wont matter what he thinks,coz the rest of the world will be on message,and as far as p4p 'championship' goes it IS about what people think within boxing,promoters,fellow boxers,pundits and,yes,even fans.

On another note,its a bit wanky how some in this thread are going on like hattons **** because he holds the lowly position of 8 among the best fighters in the world at any weight.You should take yourself outside and punch yourselves in the face 7 or 8 times,that might help.

Look men. Grappling is for wrestling and MMA.

Holding and hitting is against the rules. Too bad thats how Hattons fight most of the time.

Cortez did the right job in that fight, and still Hatton was holding a ton.

If Hatton wants a fair fight, then he needs to fight within the rules.

I reckon that Cortez has been inconsistence in hi las couple of fights. But he did a good job in the Hatton-Mayweather fight!!!!!!!

What was fixed? Your scorecard because your biased? You had Hatton 2 points ahead coming into the 10th the judges had Floyd ahead by 6 and 7 points (though I disagree with Hatton only winning 2 rounds, I would say 3-4 rounds he won). I doubt anybody had Hatton ahead on there scorecard coming into the 10th.

Clinching is a part of boxing if you like it or not, almost every boxer clinches. Hatton does it more than most but until they punish fighters for it it will continue. + Hatton don't hold and hit he fights out of the clinch he's not holding while hes throwing which is perfectly legal.

By rules Holding is ilegal whether you hit or not.


And Hatton do hold and it.

Almost everybody(except Hatton fans)knows this.

And I dont mind, holding when you are in trouble or whatever, but Hatton holds excesively!!!!!!!

grappling is illegal; hatton shouldn't be using his clinching as his offense.
