wow- he's not talking about losing to mayweather/pacquiao for a change

[knockoutkid]

I bet he had a hard time at the airport with his crack conviction. Rabchenko has the talent though well spotted, they are out there.

I wish he'd make a comeback but I respect his decision.

But just because he's a Promoter he's just going to stay obesely fat???

Won't even grow old to enjoy his money at this rate.

The person who wrote this article is a douche bag. Hatton never looked the same after he was defeated by Mayweather. Mayweather started to destroy Hatton mentally during pre fight hype, then he finished Hatton off in the ring. Hatton blew up in weight after the Mayweather fight and was seen smoking crack.

No. Hatton still fought after Mayweather. This is what happened after he messed with Pacquiao.

Hatton was very average

Hatton was a very average fighter who was exposed once he fought the best. Slow tiny with a glass jaw Hatton looked like a little white elf stretched out sleeping mid ring Knocked out. Not much as a boxer but a world class alcoholic and drug addict.

Hatton was almost knocked out by Lazcano in a fight the masses didn't see in front of Hatton's home town fans of England. Roach commented on this in preparation of the Pacquiao Vs Hatton fight. Roach specifically stated that he saw Hatton in the Lazcano fight, and Hatton was a shell of himself, so now was the time to make the fight between Pacquiao and Hatton. Just to make sure Pacquiao had more of an advantage (Roach said Pacquiao has to get ready for the fight, and Hatton has to make weight) the fight was signed to take place at 140 and not 147 pounds, in which Mayweather fought Hatton. Hatton was so embarrassed and distraught from the Mayweather defeat along with the poor performance against Lazcano, Hatton went got Floyd Mayweather Sr to train him for the Pacquiao fight. Mayweather Jr broke Hattons will so bad, Hatton actually wanted to change his fighting style to learn how to fight like Mayweather. SMH

So how could a fighter that was a shell of himself, and was seen smoking crack after the Mayweather loss be unfazed about loosing his undefeated record along with his will, that made Hatton a tough opponent to fight. Hatton overwhelmed his opponents to victory, and after he suffered the Mayweather loss, Hatton's will was never seen again in the ring.

Lets clear something up for the ******s that don't know what they are talking about.

1. Hatton wasn't caught smoking crack he was pictured doing coke.
2. Hatton blew up in weight after every fight it didn't start with the loss to Mayweather.
3. Hatton wasn't glass jawed he walked through the punches of one of the hardest hitting 140 fighters ever.


Hatton was struggling making weight at 140 for a long time thats why he tried 147. Hatton struggled at 147 and knew he wouldn't be able to compete with the top fighters so moved back down. The constant yo-yoing in weight was taking it's toll on Hattons body this and the KO in the Mayweather fight destroyed his punch resistance. Anyone that says Hatton is an average fighter is a complete moron. An average fighter doesn't win world titles.
