Hatton and his fans are right!!

While I favor Pac because of his speed, Ricky is not slow and he throws some pretty mean body shots at times which can slow down anyone.

Timing can beat speed, but Pac tends to throw people off more and more nowadays when earlier in his career he was easier to time.

Pac's gotten better utilizing his speed and mixing up his shots.

This is an answer top the quote "take Manny's speed and he is nothing"

Hatton is nothing without hugging... That's why he lost to Mayweather when Joe Cortez took that only skill from him.. LOL...

If he believe in his abilities he should not complain... Why? because he and his fans knows that without hugging, he is nothing... Come may 2 and he will probe himself right again when Manny take that hugging away from him...

Speed is part of your physical attribute so it cannot be taken away...
Hugging is part of dirty tactics...

Hugging has been a big part of Hatton's game since he stepped up so its hard to disagree. He carried his game plan on from the Tszyu fight and tried to employ against everyone he fought. If Hatton had confidence in his ability he would of tried something different. However i think he knew that the hug was helping him to survive at that level, and he knows he does not have defence/ability to give his opponent some room.

Hatton's a short guy. I don't know why he'd give any opponent room. For what, so they can jab him to death.
Short arms, short stature. If he fights at a distance, he'd get cooked.

hes most famous fight, kosta tszyu, most people know ricky from that fight if you dont follow him....outside of that he is a very sound fighter in the fundamentals of the game.

everybody knows that was a very ugly win including you if you're honest.if only that took place somewhre else and kenny bayless was the ref !think of something else man like maybe castillo,that was an impressive win,that's something to brag about!

Tim Bradley and even the guy in my sig were very short fighters they did not/dont fight like Hatton.

Bradley is quicker than Hatton.

You have to use what you got in the genetic lottery and Hatton for the most part does.

Agree, but i dont think you have to spend majority of the time holding or sleeping on your opponents chest. Good fighters are able to fight from mid-range,slip and counter. I dont expect Hatton to stand at longe range and let his opponent pick him apart, but......

Mancini was a short aggressive fighter, but he did not hold no where near as much as Hatton. Neither did Chacon or Chavez.

Duran used to hold a bit, but even he did not hold as much as Hatton.

Yea and it's nothing to do with Hatton fighting the best fighter of this generation.

Pacs speed is his main attribute, his defence isn't brilliant which is why i'm picking Ricky, Mayweather was just to good in defence, it wasn't his speed that did Hatton.

[Mersey]

Saying Hatton is nothing without hugging is ******, and you're obviously sayin this because you have only seen 1 or 2 Hatton fights.

[Pullcounter]

geeez, have you ever watch ricky fight he is a very skilled fighter when he wants to be....

yep and most times he doesn't want to be a very skilled fighter

most of the time its his opponents that hold him...

nope, usually its hatton that's hugging

even floyd held more.....

floyd didn't hold, floyd used his elbows and forearms to get space so he could punch. hatton does all the holding

get the facts, jack before you make ignorant threads.

i don't think it was that ignorant a thread
