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

[ottoevans]

yea Floyd ended there career, cause Floyd's style is really devastating lol

[switchsouthpaw]

I agree with Floyd with respect to some of these comments. Hatton's lifestyle is not one that promotes longevity, especially being in his 30's. Floyd did ruin Hatton that night--mentally. Hatton was knocked out badly in that fight, first hitting the ring post and then the mat.

Boxing is a beautiful sport, because although at first glimpse it appears to be a match of physical prowess, it really provides a psychological profile of a man. You can't hide from yourself in the ring, so when knocked out for the first time in your career, a feeling that you've never experienced before, it's traumatic and will always stay with you moving forward. I think more than physical damage suffered, Hatton suffered psychological damage that night and was never going to come out of it the same.

he is a very insecure person....

I do pity him

[-Boxzilla-]

[znarfv_y2k8]

Floyd is insecure, please stop using names of Hatton, Pacquiao, etc...

According to Floyd Mayweather Jr, the career of Ricky Hatton ended when the two of them fought in December of 2007. Mayweather handed Hatton his first loss, a technical knockout in the tenth round. Mayweather returns to the ring on July 18, the first Floyd has seen action since the win over Hatton. He faces Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand in Ls Vegas. [details]

Floyd would u please stop using the names of Hatton, Pacquiao, etc just to help hype ur upcoming fight...are u out of ideas every time you're interviewed & feel insecure of what u've made w/ ur boxing name by just riding w/ the names of Hatton, Pacquiao, etc...I think u need to do in your own way, is u'r zero loss record not enough for u to cling on??? Insecure...

[M.I Truth ?]

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.

of course he did.
hatton was crushed after floyd, manny crushed him even harder.

[MindBat]

EVERYBODY knows Floyd spoke the truth.

Can you imagine how hard these guys train for a fight and end up coming up short against someone they should've beaten?

That messes people up mentally.
