Mayweather CARRIED Hatton IMO

[Crazylegs77]

I thought MAYWEATHER could have ended Hatton much earlier then did.

And i think the reason for that is because a lot of fans and experts were very su****ious before the fight that it could wind up being a complete mismatch.

So Floyd let him go rounds, let the fight look competitive, and then scores the knockout, therefore elevating his win.

Just a thought

I doubt it, many people thought it was a mismatch but Hatton was undefeated at the time so it was legit enough a challenge taking into consideration Baldomir & Gatti. It would have been in Floyd best interest to make it look like it was indeed a mismatch due to Floyds superior skills.

I think Floyd was suprised early by Hattons speed, as he almost went down in round 1 I believe when he was backing up to avoid Hattons attack.

Hatton was also not allowed to fight his fight, and became more and more careless and as a result Floyd was able to do his thing more and more which is defense and counter. He was probably capable of beating Hatton in a more impressive fashion but its not his style.

The feet got tangled in rnd 1. Thats why he almost fell.

FLoyd won most of the rounds but you can tell he wasn't Comfortable doing it.

Mayweather is cautious and methodical by nature. He took Hatton out when he was sure that he was ready to go. It serves no purpose to compare Hatton's fights with Manny and Floyd. Same with Marquez and DLH.

He didn't carry Hatton.

Actually, given hatton's preferred method of attack it could have been a wwe wrestlemania.

Good post. Hatton did way better in that fight than people like to believe, in the first half of the fight at least.

If Mayweather carried him I would have to say it was for about an extra round. Mayweather gave Hatton a beating in the 8th round. In the 9th round, instead of capitalizing on the serious beating he gave Hatton in the 8th; he went and put on a jabbing exhibition. That was clearly the round to finish him in. Of course Mayweather could have stopped him sooner.

Hatton was getting schooled...

The only thing that made it look like he was doing good was the fact that he was trying to rush in and grab May for those rough, clinching shots...
