question about hatton?

[splittingatoms]

i think hatton will go back to fighting b-level and c-level opponents after beating zoo.the reason i say this is i dont think guys like zab judah,correlas, or mayweather will go fight in hattons hometown.if you watch the hatton-koysta fight,you can clearly see that the ref was tilting a little in rickys favor.im not saying the ref was cheating for hatton but he was not telling ricky to stop holding and hitting.it is the advantage of having home field advantage.i think any of the 3 fighters i named above would beat hatton by UD.their boxing skills would be trouble for hattons style.i think correlas would be the only one that trys to go toe to toe with hatton.mayweather and zab would keep hatton at a distance and pick him off.i really dont have to much respect for hatton.he beat an unprime zoo.im not saying that zoo is way passed his prime but he sure isnt in peak form.getting older ,it gets harder beating younger opponents.when hatton leaves the confort of his backyard and be willing to fight top leveled opponents outside of briton is when i will have respect for him.

I agree with your opinion on how the ref did his job, but i dont believe that cost zoo the fight tho. Like zoo said, their was something wrong with him that nite. I do give respect to hatton for beating zoo b/c i think zoo (as unprimed as he is) can beat a prime opponant in his weight class but just got beat by the better man in that fight.

i agree.i didnt mean to come off as saying that the ref was the reason that hatton won.hatton won because he had a gameplan and stuck to it.but it was a ruiz style fight.way to much holding.the ref should have done something about it.but it was in hattons backyard so i knew the ref would allow it.i think the grappling by ricky did have its wear on zoo.fighting somebody who is holding you all the time takes it out of you.but like i said i dont think hatton will be fighting any real good fighters anytime soon.hatton will not fight outside of briton.and thats why i have no respect for him.if he would come outside of briton and fight a big name in any other country then i would have respect for him .
