The Myth of the 140 version of Hatton post-Floyd

[B u r n e r]

Floyd's 'win' was b/s

a) because it was at 147 where Hatton struggles
b) because Cortez was a fcuking joke

I guess repeated right hands to the grill unanswered had nothing to do with it. Or the fact that Floyd was better then him on every level.

Ive talked to UK fans and you give them a bad name.

They weren't unanswered, Hatton just couldn't hurt him at 147, same as Marquez. He's not effective at that weight. Pacquiao fought him at his natural fighting weight.

Plenty of UK boxers have said the same thing (incl. Haye, Lewis and others) I suppose they give boxing a bad name too.

Man there sure are a lot of myths out there today. You should change your name to myth busters.
Myth:3. any invented story, idea, or concept: His account of the event is pure myth.

dog, i don't like those shoes...acatully i take it back they look alright

anyway i like how after he beat paulie everyone was like "omg he's back!" and everyone pick him to win vs pac, but soon after the manny fight now he was a different fighter

Did they? i remember everyone saying that pacman was going to give htton a worse beating than diaz.

Hatton isn't much less effective at 147 than he is at 140. The only thing thats less effective for him is one of his biggest weapons (strength on the inside) but thats simply because he is fighting naturally bigger guys.

Hatton's two fights at 147 were against two top welterweights in Mayweather and Collazo so i ain't surprised he looked bad there. If 140 had the talent that 147 had, he wouldn't of looked so good at 140 imo.

140 is actually starting to shape up into a really solid division now.

In my opinion, Pacquiao's win over Hatton was more impressive than Floyd's.

Both deserve credit for winning though.

Paulie can't punch! Lazcano had him hurt real bad, the ref jumped in, then Ricky complained about his shoes being untied

He was warned for Holding hattons head down while he punched him in the kidneys actually, kindly find me a ref that doesn't warn a fighter for that.

Oh and it was after the ref had broken them up once and Ricky was attacking.

if you actually watch round 11 lazcano only actually lands 5 clean punches in the entire round and two of them where illegal shots to the kidneys.

Pacquiao served that ass in 2 rounds. Get over it.

Hatton isn't much less effective at 147 than he is at 140.

The only thing thats less effective for him is one of his biggest weapons (strength on the inside) but thats simply because he is fighting naturally bigger guys.

That's the whole point though, his biggest strength is almost completely negated at 147, he doesn't belong there and isn't the same opponent/challenge, his power, strength and effectiveness of his style just don't carry up. Pacquiao, clean or not, took him on at the weight where he is effective.

While the point is valid, Collazo also had him nearly out of there and that was before the Floyd bout.

Good point. Be prepared for it to be shot down by the Mayweather fans though. Anything for them to convince themselves Mayweather has a better legacy.

Let it go man, Hatton got dominated from round 1. Floyd was seeting the check hook up all night.
