No, Ricky...you didn't "come in 2nd" the last time you fought The P4P #1...

[bsrizpac]

yea I agree, once you watch that fight over a few times, it really turns out to be a beating.

Funny, it was the exact opposite with the Floyd vs DLH fight, that fight seemed even closer once I re-watched it, not taking anything away from Mayweather.

I do agree since the first time I watched it I scored it way higher for Floyd over Oscar but even then on repeats I had him winning pretty easy as I don't tend to count "rabbit punches" in the clinch. Just not the way I was taught scoring....

I just didn't see Oscar doing anything at all, and the only reason I scored it closer upon repeat viewings was I noticed more inactivity from Floyd than I noticed before resulting in a few swing rounds here and there.

"you're"

super fail.

It was a sentence fragment.

No, Ricky didn't come in 2nd on the pound for pound ratings, and viewing a knockout loss as anything but a bitter defeat suggests a bit of self delusion, but I can't grasp why anyone would dislike Hatton. He fights hard enough, has a decent attitude, seems like a genuine guy, and doesn't talk much trash, really.

If anything, when I hear Ricky talk about 'coming in 2nd' the last time he fought a top pound for pound fighter, it told me more about his mindset. He's not able to just fully swallow the way he lost, especially to Floyd, and has a need to stay positive.

Boxing is very mental, too. Hatton can't go against Pacquiao with doubts or he'll lose, so I don't begrudge him twisting his mind a bit to stay optimistic.

Up until around the 8th round, it was all just 1 punch and hold from Floyd. After that is when Floyd turned it up and started landing combos and beating on Ricky. Floyd indeed won, and did so impressively, but it was not a brutal beating.

how could floyd make it brutal? hatton was crowding floyd all the time.

[QUISQUEYA]

LOL I remember hearing that... wait what? you came in second ricky?

THERES ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE FU.CKIN RACE RICKY!


nice try to make you feel better about it...

I wonder if his implication was that by losing to the #1 P4P, then he should be #2 P4P. Hatton is not a complete moron, and nobody ever says "I came in 2nd in a boxing match".

Sooo, perhaps Ricky is taking an "Olympic viewpoint" on this where Floyd got the gold, and he got the silver.

Does he feel that he is - or should have been - #2 P4P? I ask this because he keeps talking about being #1 if he beats Pac. He seems dead set on it.

IT WASA JOKE!!!!

He also believes he would be #1 if he won, but the "coming second" thing is a joke. I promise!

[Maestro USA]

Won't losing to the p4p1 make you p4p2 ?

[TRAVI$]

How can some of you not see this as a joke?
Hatton has joked numerous times about getting beat by Floyd.
