Ricky Hatton: " I Never Recovered From The First Punch"

[Mugwump]

Hatton lost to the better man in Manny Pacquiao. Ricky was a solid and respectable champ at 140 for nearly 5 years, and fought all comers in defending the title with the exception of Junior Witter. Why everyone is taking a collective **** on him is beyond me really. Not once did he disparage Pacquiao, or make any excuses as to why he lost. All he has said is he fought with his heart and fought the exact wrong fight, and he is devastated by getting his ass beat in spectacular fashion. What more do you want from him?

It's sad to see how quickly a great champ is disparaged the second he loses to a potentially all-time great fighter. I suppose it makes everyone feel great that Hatton got KTFO and the cool thing to do now is jump on the Pacman bandwagon and piss all over Hatton as a overrated bum, and that's just wrong in my opinion. Everyone can lose, Pacquiao included. If and when Pacquiao ever gets KTFO and laid on the canvas it will be interesting to see how many douchebags come out and say "Pacquiao was an overrated bum, he sucks" etc just because he lost.

This isn't being a respectable boxing fan people. It's called being a prick *******.

Round of applause.

peopele were saying that hatton was pacs first real test above 135. now that he demolished him he is overated. you haters need to be consistent with your predictions. pac did what he had to do against the linear champ that was undefeated at that weight. to all you floyd fans dont take it personal that the pacman is outshining your boy at the moment. maybe if he had the ballz to fight like pac he might get the same adulation.

Round of applause.

And another. An 'A' class post the 'Z' class posters should read and re-read before crawling back under their rock on the off chance they might just learn something.

the hatton that fought tsyzu would have beat pac imo
but its all ifs and buts

Dude! I know you got butthurt, but the fight is over! Get over it!

Hats off to Hatton for not making any excuses...
Now he knows how powerful Pac's punches... unlike DLH who claims that Pac doesnt hit that hard... since, Pac wasnt able to KD/KO him...
Because DLH is smart enough to quit, before Pac can KO him... hahahaha...
Now, GBP has no marquee fighters on their stable, either they are too old and Pac retires them.... hahaha.

:lmfao:

oh my god!!! It is completely epic!!!

So you're saying what Freddie Roach said is bull****? Sorry, I will take Roach's word over yours anyday!

Roach knows that any fighter who takes a punch to give a punch sooner or later is going to lose their punch resistance. He knows it because that is the same style he used to fight with and why he is punch drunk today.

"Hatton is not the same fighter after his loss to Mayweather, he took something out of him which is why he was on shaky legs against Lazcano" - Freddie Roach

Getting KO'd in a clean shot, you don't lose much, but running face forward into flush right hands over 10 rounds from the most accurate boxer in the sport will take something out of you, especially if you're at the end of your career and on the decline. That something proved to be his chin, which is why Roach predicted the fight would end so early.

You obviously don't know anything about boxing!

Btw, regarding Cotto. Yes, I do feel Cotto is not going to be the same fighter against elites since his brutal loss to Margarito. Getting hit with loaded gloves over 11 rounds is bound to have it's effect on a fighter, and one of the reasons why I think Roach is aiming for him as Pacquiao's next opponent. Add in Roach's absurd demands that the 160lb fighter weigh in at 144, and you have a even fight.

nobody buys this bs brah..... it won't hold water.
go back in history and you'll find boxers who rebounded from resounding loses.
don't go back too far....coz as many critics said, pacman lost 2 times by "brutal knockouts"!! hehehe

[jetgeomcx]

There's no excuse available really... but I give him props for this.


Wow... you're not that bright are you?


He looked nervous once Pacman stepped in the ring with him... I even thought he was nervous at the weigh-in... the reason why I think Pacman is all smiles at him.



been there... you should delete that garbage.. I can see you still have not edited the title... fail from the title itself.



yeah.. to think that only 18 punches was landed, it would be less if Hatton did not manage to hold and hit.. he hit Pac on the back of the head 3-4 times too.



So is Manny also a damaged good? from Rustico Torrecampo and Medgoen Singsurat?

Your logic is somewhat... oh **** I don't even have a word for it.

welcome back puntoy....where ya been migz?

most if not all pacfans respected and still respects the hitman. he just overhyped himself, underestimated manny and he paid dearly for it.

check-out those who disparage/mock ricky's accomplishments and see whose fans they are.....

[pinoyescrima]

Truth. Glad he ain't tryin to make excuses.

the excuses will be made by his fans
