could mayweather have finished hatton earlier if he wanted to? was he carrying him?

[revs1227]

one of his best performances and one of his top 3 wins imo.people forget how tough ricky was

i agree
alota ppl on this site swore rickyw ould win
including myself

the polls were closee if i recall

He may have carried him a little, but I don't think May could have KO'ed Hatton without the turnbuckle's help.

Lmao at the turnbuckle comment even though you might have been serious lol good stuff but yeah I agree he may have carried him a little but thats just how floyd is he sits back and frustrates guys he doesn't sell out for an early KO its not his style. Both choices were incorrect in my opinion with the poll. He definitely didn't have a tough time with hatton.

he was dazed b4 he hit the turnbuckle...Hatton is lucky the ref jumped in
he was would to get blitzed with accurate punches

This is true. A lot of people were giving him a good chance to win. Hell people might of sounded more optimistic than they are with mosley right now. lol

Ricky should get more respect than he does. He's a very good fighter who got that ass whooped by two great ones... nothing wrong with that. Don't call this cat a bum that's an insult to him and to the sport in general. He also had the guts to step it up and fight two fighters not out of their prime instead of spending his whole career in the UK and then fighting old fighters... *cough*calzaghe ahemmm...

the only reason this thread was made was because pac koed hatton in 2 and they wanna somehow justify floyds 10th rd ko as he was carrying him and could have done the same ..
Floyd n pac did not fight the samne hatton
hatton that fought floyd would have beat pac imo


it was a close fight idiots

gtfoh.....

He takes the "Go slow and the KO will come" quite literally. I think he doesn't want the risk of being caught anything become to prevelant so he takes his time breaking someone down.

mayweather lacks a quality that couldve made him a truly supreme and exciting fighter to watch...aggression. witness the baldomir fight where obviously he outclassed his opponent on all levels but never came out of his cocoon for the coup de grace.
mayweather couldve ko'd hatton much earlier but for his safety first no risk style.

floyd is a technician, he let hatton play into the crowd and, checkmate.
it kinda looked like he had a hard time...but really check it out, he was so cool and relaxed, just calm under pressure, letting hatton get reckless, feeling him out...it was nothing really. most fighters wouldve buckled under the extreme pressure hatton was displaying and they did, but Floyd is a whole other level man.
