Mayweather Jr. Says He Ended Hatton's Career in 2007

Look. ... Did Floyd ruin Hatton ? No. Did he take something out of him ? probably. Roach saw it too. The thing is The Floyd fight did not do Hatton any favors but Hatton was still a capable fighter afterwards. In other words the combination of the two fights will end Hattons career. The Floyd fight did not start as fast but once Hatton stated getting tagged it was clear he was getting punished badly. Round eight in particular was bad. Going 10 rounds taking shots is worse on the body/career then a quick to the point KO. This is why they say MMA guys are not as punch drunk as boxers after they retire. In the Pac fight he got Hatton out of there quick. More impressive as far as single punch power. Was Hatton's punch resistance starting to go because of the Mayweather fight as well as the many other wars he has been in? Maybe. I think if you don't move your head and rush into Pac you will get dropped no matter what. Jermain Taylor took a hard knockout loss and didn't recover very well going into future fights. Maybe Hatton had a similar issue. No matter, Pac would have won if he fought the undefeated Hatton as well.
