You know after PBF wasted Hatton, he looked like Trash against Lazscano, got in Mayweather SR and set about rebuilding himself. This came in two stages.

1. Fight Paulie M and try out a few new things.

2. Fight Pacquiao.

Would Hatton have been wiser to fight a few of the Campbells and even Kotelniks of the division and have say 4-5 fights over 2 years with SR THEN challenge the top guys?

just a thought.

he might have performed better if he had 2-3 more fights with floyd SR, thats possible. the problem with hatton is, if he gets hurt, he goes back to his old ways. pac hurt him in the first round, then the rest is history

If he had been a younger, most disciplined fighter, I would agree with you.
Ricky was continuing to slide, though. His drinking and eating fried food and ballooning up in between fights was doing horrible things to his body, and it showed up in his career. If he had beaten up feather fisted fighters and waited longer, he would have only slid further.
Remember that article about his health problems lately? Ricky is done.

This, too, is very true.
