I don't know why people even bother to use the Magee knockdown to try and discredit Hatton.
It's not as if Hatton was hurt, he got straight up and he was clear as a bell.
Hatton has been hurt before, he's only human! I remember Vince Phillips catch Hatton with a peach of an uppercut on the inside that buckled Hattons knees and made him hold on for 20-30 seconds.
I also remember Ben Tackie catch Hatton with a few heavy ones that stopped Hatton in his tracks.
And I remember Kostya Tszyu catch Hatton with a huge right-hand as Hatton was coming in... Hatton ducked his head under Tszyu's left arm to buy some time. (I don't think Kostya knew he'd just hurt Hatton!) - But that's because Hatton was smart and he hid it well.
All of these occasions were more dodgey than the Magee flash knockdown.
All fighters get hurt from time to time... Mayweather too!... But it's how they deal with it that shows their class.
