Hatton Says a Few More Rounds Would Have Helped

[Dan...]

Marquez is a smaller fighter. These bigger fighters are slow and lumbering compared to Pac. Hatton isn't slow, nor is Oscar but they were made to look like old men (and they're not).

You watch rugby right? I don't watch rugby league, but look at how small Shane Williams is. Now you get a quick big guy like Tuqiri but he still can't lay a hand on Williams. Being small and quick gives you a natural advantage if you take your power with you.



Oscar doesn't have defensive skills?

Well, to be honest, Oscar's defence is definatley his weakness, but I think that Manny's dominance over Oscar was also attributable to DLH being totally dead at the weight.

Look, I'm not saying that Manny doesn't represent a massive challenge for the Welters, but if you can't see why he will struggle a great deal more with the likes of Mayweather than he did Hatton then, well, there isn't anywhere for you to go.

Mayweather is a master technician. He has perfected the hard of minimising risk whilst maintaining sufficient offensive output, and that is exactly what you need to do against Manny. Pacquiao can be hit regularly, the trick is not to get hammered whilst hitting him, and I think that Mayweather has the skills to implement a fight plan that allows him to do that. Hatton clearly did not have those skills.

Nothing would have helped with how Pac was fighting that night.

Hatton was just outclassed he doesn't belong with the elite in boxing. He just got to where he's for out wrestling an old Tzyu and having legions of fans who would follow him anywhere. Hatton doesn't have the chin or skills to keep up with true top guys, he should thank God he got this far.

The moment Pac landed his first right hook I knew this fight wasn't going to last long. If anything he's lucky Pac knocked him out cold if he would have gotten the extra rounds he would have been seriously hurt.

I think he's much much too quick for him. We're talking about a guy who De La Hoya couldn't touch and was stopped by and Hatton couldn't take 2 rounds with. He's phenomenal at these higher weights because he's quicker and more elusive than them all, and he's carried his power up too.

Let's not forget Oscar went 12 with Floyd and some thought he won, Hatton went 10 with him and won rounds.

I just don't see any way for Floyd to win.

where to start..

Floyd fought DLH at 154. DLH was a skeleton and didn't throw one meaningful punch against Pacman.

Floyd also fought Ricky at the top of his game. The loss seemed to take a lot out of him, even Lazcano rocked him a few times after FFS.

All the shudda , cudda wont change the outcome now.... but, If I bought a lottery ticket last weeks draw and put down the right number combination...then I would have been a millionaire and could have afford to seat on the first row in MGM last saturday..but I did'nt!

nothing would have helped hatton that night

This was all Hattons fault period.


FLoyd Sr, was telling him between rounds, " Move your head men, move yout head, Faint touch him and move your head, you sould had being listening to me since day 1.

That prhase alone tells you hatton didnt lsiten to Sr., during camp!!!!!!!!!

yes he should have listened.I was thinking the same thing.If he would have boxed and moved his head he would have survived alot longer.I'm gonna give you rep for that..

Such nonsense. He's a multi-time world champion who ruled 140 for four years and has stopped great fighters like Tszyu and Castillo (with a body shot). He took Mayweather 10 rounds with the ref on his back and yeah he was knocked out by Pac but Oscar was stopped too, at least Hatton tried hitting him.

Obviously. Anything is better than bein KTFO in rd 2.

Excuse, Oscar said he felt great before the fight. He didn't throw one meaningful punch because he couldn't tag Pac, he was in and out so quick. I think some people need to stop making excuses and start realising Pac is the real deal and those victories were the real thing.
