I hate to break it to you, but Freddie is wrong. I'm not sure what fight you were watching, but I don't consider throwing your body into a guy continuously and rabbit punching him half to death to be "in the fight". Floyd clowned Hatton's dirty, borderline ****sexual ass and finished him off with one of the funniest KO's you'll ever see.

I can't speak for anyone else but I loved Hatton,he was balls to the wall dude..He was limit but his heart was big and he would always put it all on black and let it ride..I love Mosley(and maybe one of his biggest fans)but tbh Hatton tried harder all the way threw the fight with May then Mosley did tbh..He had a classic battle with Tszyu(which would be in my top 20 fights)..Hatton was a classic brawler and he was fun too watch..Is he the greatest fighter no,most skilled no..But he would give 110% which is all I can ask for..Comment

He was pretty good at what he did and is now vastly underrated, so what if he lost to two of the best possible fighters anyone could have faced.Comment

Lmfao @ This idiot not understanding that everyone, even your boy toy Freddie Roach will say anything if it furthers their own agenda.
He said what he did to pimp Pacquiao's win as being more significant and to assert him as the better fighter based on their performances against common opponents. I remember the comments you're referring to and the context they were said in, and that was a prime example of him pushing an agenda.
Also, Teddy Atlas also knows a thing or two about the sport of boxing and more or less agrees with my assessment. Hatton wasn't in the fight, he was hugging and rabbit punching, while Floyd consistently landed cleaner and better shots throughout the entire fight.
But hey, I'm talking to some clown with a Ricky Hatton avatar, who's probably from Britain (I didn't check when I wrote this), so I wouldn't expect anything but blind support.Comment

Hatton never rabbit-punched in the entire fight, his worst crime was punching a rope. Mayweather on the other hand was throwing elbows, turning his back, holding on, ducking down constantly to the point where Lennox Lewis questioned whether Mayweather was doing some kind of martial art. Yet all the while the (now known to be) corrupt ref was warning Ricky.
Look man, you're a ***** spazball with red bars and a belly full of hate, you can see it a mile off and I don't have time for this. Do 1.Comment

Hatton was outclassed by Mayweather in the same way that all of Floyd's recent opponents have been outclassed. What you can say for Hatton though is that he managed to bring the best out of Mayweather, which you can't necessarily say for many of his other post-Castillo opponents. At any rate, this is a fairly pointless thread, as like I said, nobody around here is claiming that Hatton is some sort of a world beater. He's a solid, entertaining fighter who had a good run at 140 lbs for a few years.Comment

People love him because he is not Amir Khan. That makes me like Ricky.Comment
