Floyd Mayweather was extremely lucky against Ricky Hatton

[Shadows]

Mayweather came out calling the fight a war, what a fcukin joke Ricky would've shown him a real fcukin war if the fat cnut ref got the fcuk out of the way. Mayweather ain't living with Hatton in a brawl, he's getting the face beat off him without the ref's protection.

Yeah, because the Tszyu fight was a great display of reffing....

I watched again too though and Cortez was no doubt influenced by something Floyd's camp said. Because he jumped on Hatton immediately for everything, and he did nothing to Floyd. So I'll give him that. Still it wasn't the reason he lost the fight.

Floyd would have tore Hatton's face up inside too. Ref helped him out, but that doesn't matter. Hatton is not on his level period. I actually thought Floyd was a little too conservative early and should have opened up more. Ricky's quick movement made him uncomfortable early on.

even if I agreed, do two wrongs make a right?

balls he would, he attempted to in the 6th and ended up having to run away and dive out of the ring. Floyd ain't no brawler or fighter, he's a boxer. A tap tap tap backfoot specialist. Ref kept Hatton off him and Floyd was home and dry.

Key factor - referee.

No need for this Dap. Hatton may have gotten 2 rds in that fight. He was outclassed and KTFO by a better fighter. Not Cortez' fault. JMM>Hatton. Comparisons between the fights need not be made homey.

Agree to disagree mang, I thought Ricky was up 4-2 after 6.

Not comparing him to JMM at all, just pointing out the overall ****ty way that fight was handled.

Maybe Ricky would've lost anyway, but Cortez sure as hell made sure he would help Floyd.

Posts like these are the reason why I called you an attention-seeking bull****tin' whore. You call that victory luck?!?! You must be either the most biased or most ****** boxing "fan" out there if you think Floyd just got "lucky" instead of beating Hatton by being the higher skilled athlete.

Go *** yourself.

I'm right here fcuko. Threadstarter is correct, I'm glad others can see it the way it was, the stuff he mentioned was just the tip of the iceberg too, he doesn't mention all the elbows floyd threw or his turning his back and ducking down.

the ref was crucial in this fight and Floyd got a gift referee in his home town, it was a farkin disgrace.

Hatton was ahead on 6 rounds, flyd's tap tap tap wasn't doing ****, the only big shots floyd got in was when the ref was breaking them up.

AS I say, a disgraceful refereeing performance, a real horror show from Joe Cortez.

In the next fight between Hopkin and Calzaghe he did every thing he could to keep hopkin in the fight

fucc him, fat yank cnut

Exactly. I hadn't seen the fight since 07' but upon seeing it again you realize how close a fight it was.

A lot of people in here must've forgot and maybe need to watch it again.

Floyd looked extremely vulnerable until he landed the lucky punch in the 9th.

Keep in mind, Floyd was trying that punch all night and failed. Stepping away and hoping a hook lands isn't an impressive k.o.

He just happened to connect with it that particular time.

All you guys who don't like this thread can lick my balls.

Thats right.

Lick my balls.

He also hurt Ricky in the 7th round with a pull counter right hand out of the pocket. Sure it gives Hatton a better chance to win, but he still loses.

Just rewatched that fight and I forgot how well Ricky did.

After six I had it 4-2 Hatton.

But the real reason Ricky lost is clearly Joe Cortez's sheer incompetence. Not only in the fact that he allowed Floyd to choke Ricky with elbows on the inside, but for failing to see that it was Floyd, not Ricky, doing all the holding.

The point deduction in the 6th was the turning tide, it was here that Ricky's spirit was taken from him upon realizing that Joe was going to screw him.

Mayweather was getting caught easily by left hooks and jabs and was clearly bothered with the pressure.

Joe Cortez needs to be banned from the sport.

What a piece of **** ref.

JMM is gonna wax that ass this Saturday.

ricky hatton winning rounds just shows you how flawed a fighter pbf is... 'best in the sport defense' my ass...



if marquez is not too uncomfortable with teh weight, he will expose the overated bum

Mayweather basically outclassed Hatton throughout the fight.

Cortez was quick to break up the wrestling in the early going, but when he let them fight in the clinch, Mayweather got the better of it. He out dirtied-Hatton with his own tricks, dug in repeated short right uppercuts to Hatton's body when his other arm was locked up, and landed the better shots when breaking out of a clinch. Hatton made Mayweather work harder than usual, but wasn't landing the clean shots, he was eating the majority of them. Then Mayweather turned up the pace in round 8 and it was just a matter of time until then.

Hatton repeatedly jumped in with lead left hooks throughout the fight. It wasn't a matter of being desperate or frustrated because of the point deduction, because he was doing that well before he got a point deducted. Manny Steward pointed it out early, round 3 I think, about the check hook Mayweather was landing when Hatton was coming in with his own leaaping hook. It worked against Maussa but he paid dearly for it against Mayweather and Pacquiao, and also got rocked by Lazcano for it.

I'm glad Pacquiao's wasting of Hatton ruined any chances of a Mayweather-Hatton rematch, because that would've been one worthless rematch. Mayweather could beat his ****, his baby mama, and Hatton at the same time. It was an outclassing, plain and simple.
