    Hatton had alot of help in the Tszyu fight. The ref played a key role in that fight. Y'all also have to remember where exactly Hatton was catching those shots from Tszyu, I don't recall them being chin shots. I mean, alot of people can get caught hard and clean on the forehead and cheeckbone and still keep goin'. The side of chin/temple is a different story.
    No! I'm not trying to say anything.(bolded) I think I made that perfectly clear Einstein.

    If you don't think Hatton took a ton of powerful shots everywhere , go watch the fight again. He was just stronger at the time and a lot hungrier. I don't think there are too many on here who would argue that point.

          any version of hatton would have been pretty much a field day for pac. you just can't bum rush this guy and it's a fact that hatton's defense consists of absorbing punches with his face. against other boxers, yes the added punch resistance would have helped, but not against pac. he had hatton timed so well in their fight, it's not even close. i don't care which hatton you put in that ring but i'm pretty sure he'd still have the same habits, flaws, etc... stuffs that were keys in most of pac's game plans

          please don't even bring up tszyu, that was more of a wrestling match, or maybe you didn't even notice it? bring a ref like bayless in a match with that tszyu and that hatton and i guarantee you would have a very different outcome.
          Nowhere did I ever come close to saying Ricky was shot during that fight. I still don't think he's shot. Far from.

          I just happen to know he can't take a shot as well as he used to be able to. It's not a good guess, it's a fact.

          Ricky took good shots from a ton of hard hitting guys and was able to absorb the shots while almost everything Pac landed flush on him hurt him. I know Pac has good power and that KO shot would have dropped anyone, but I still know Tszyu clobbered Ricky with a lot harder shots than the one Mayweather landed on him for the first knockdown and the ones Pac dropped him with aside from that monster ending left cross.

          And in regaurd to the fight outcome against Tszyu. Yes, it was a physical fight that was probably in Hatton's favor but I thnk he was not going to be denied that night no matter what and to say the outcome would have been 'gauranteed' to be different is just unfair.

          Example: Sure.............

          A lot of people thought that if the ref had not saved Bute from being counted out against Andrade in the first fight he would have lost and felt like the ref would make a difference in a rematch.
          You see how that turned out. Same result.

          I also didn't hear Tszyu complain or ask for a rematch on neutral ground.
