Originally posted by screwhead1 View Posti think it might have been too little, too late for ricky when it comes to fighting the elite in boxing...he has heart...he has class...he might have had a better chin...but his style is tailor made for disaster...his defense is so flawed...he's great for fighting guys who don't have the ring intelligence to see his faults early on...but when he came over here...he got exploited...and quickly...
one thing about floyd's ko against hatton...the **** was imminent from the sound of the first bell...floyd knew hatton's faults...i think he just did us a solid for letting it go for that long...i can tell he wanted to go 12 rounds with him...but all that pushing and shoving just made him want to end it the way he did...so he simply stood back...waited for hatton...and clocked his ass...
manny's ko was similar...but they had no intention for a show...it seemed like every man in each corner knew what was going to happen weeks in advance...that's why floyd sr stressed his distaste for hatton's style...it looks great...but it will put your ass out quick...even roger mayweather was laughing about it...but the second the bell rang...hatton went to that ol familiar place with irresponsible aggression and no head movement...freddie roach gave the ok to manny...and he dropped him like a ton of bricks...
i don't think he even has it in him to change...afterall...why would he...it's that style that made him exciting to watch and it's what manchester knows him for...it's a sad story really...but he did do what he set out to...make his people proud...i don't know an athlete out there with fans so dedicated...15,000-20,000 people got your back...win or lose...he's got a legacy of his own...

Originally posted by BennyST View PostHatton? A HOF fighter? I don't think so. You've got to be better than Hatton to make it to the HOF. Kostya Tszyu is a HOF fighter, Hatton is not. Compare their records and you'll see why.
He only defended his IBF twice, and never his WBA title. Those defenses came against some decent fighters but nothing special. To get into the HOF he would have had to beat both Pac and Mayweather. He got knocked out in both, so there is no way he's getting in to the HOF.

Originally posted by BennyST View PostDon't be ridiculous. Mayweather would have ended it in the first round if he could have. It took him longer to do it because he's not that type of fighter. When was the last time Mayweather got a first round KO? He's just a guy that needs to be patient. He couldn't have put him out in the first five rounds if he went for it. Hatton was a different fighter that night also.
