Matthew Hatton "Canelo punches didn't trouble me but he is freakishly strong"

[F!x]

Matthew Hatton said this in a recent interview with Steve Bunce:

"I was really impressed with Alvarez when I fought him, very accurate. I've always been able to hold a good shot and Alvarez didn't really trouble me but the strength of the guy is unbelievable - he is freakishly strong. I see this (Mayweather vs Canelo) as a real close fight. Maybe it's passing of the torch time?"

from what i remember from that fight, Canelo's punches were definitely 'troubling' Hatton...he was getting his ass kicked pretty bad

But correct me if I'm wrong, to be fair wasn't that Hatton's first fight at 154?

Because Canelo didn't KO a guy who's only been stopped once in 52 fights he can't punch

Canelo's just too slow and his strategy works on other small guys not Mayweather. He's in for some serious beating. Hope he sees the 12th round because his body's gonna absorb a lot of punishment.
