Ricky Hatton Should Get A Lot Of Credit

[kadyo's]

Sore "winners" in every thread right now. There's a lot of telling insecurity despite the points decision.

l thought floyd won the fight fair and square. This is boxing. No excuses. We all move on.

But that win spawned butthurt winners who can't move on. Why TF is that?

What a terrible comparison? When Hatton challenged Mayweather in 2007, he was 29 years old and had not once ever tasted defeat or been in many ring wars in his career leading up to that fight. However, more importantly he had never been KO before facing Mayweather as well.

Pac on the other hand, by the time he inevitably challenged Money was 36 and a half years old and had been in several ring wars and trilogies and tasted defeat several times before; Five to be exact. In addition, he had already been KO on at least three different occasions before meeting Floyd Mayweather too.

You're a moron. Hatton didn't have wars? Every fight after, and including the kostya tszyua fight was a war. "36 and a half"? You're going to include the "half" and the two KOs from the beginning of his career? Get the **** out of here. A slightly diminished mayweather beat a slightly diminished pacquiao. It's done. When you sign the contract, you put your legacy on the line, no matter what happens.

If Pacquaio went out like Hatton did, on his shield, a 36 year old Manny gets stopped.


Manny was hesistant because he has 3 ko losses on his record, and all to inferior fighters to Mayweather.


Mayweather's right hand looked like a laser and he didn't want to walk into anything and use effective aggression.



Like I said all along, Manny cant cut of the ring and Mayweather never had problems with southpaws....he is now 8-0 against them


Hatton knew he had to take shots to win...he was willing to til the bitter end and he gets 100% of my respect


Manny gets 100% of my respect as well, but I also know the he wasn't willing to get knockout to win.


both get credit but Hatton went out like an undefeated fighter does, not knowing how to lose or being willing to



Like uncle Roger said ," most people don't know shyt about boxing!!!"

Good post.. That's exactly how I feel

if manny got ko'ed against floyd he would get no respect from you farts hahahahahaha give me a break. there would be endless memes again. don't act like you punks would give him respect for going out on his shield when you never gave him respect when he went out on his shield against marquez. and where was this amazing counter right that would put manny to sleep again?? i thought you punks kept saying how much stronger floyd was and would hurt manny with his counters???? hahahahahahahaha

and manny won more rounds going into the 10th round (same round hatton got stopped in) than hatton.

floyd farts are punks like his hero.

FACT 1 : Floyd won fair and square

FACT 2 : The scorecards are BULL ****S specially the 118-110. All close rounds went to the Runner? who is coincidentally the favorite on ******** institution and also happens to be a resident of Las Vegas.
not a conspiracy but we all know who the judges favored in that fight.



Hatton did better?


idiots.

Its incredible that there are more whiners from the winning side.

Exactly. The winning side acting sores and can't move on with the win. WTF!!!

I agree somewhat. Hatton was dead even with Floyd as far as I'm concerned through 6-7 rounds and was taken out of the fight altogether by the ref. That was the absolute worst ref job i've ever witnessed. The ref job Bayless did saturday was a joke too. Floyd should have been at least docked one point.

By default though, Hatton could not have technically done better than Pacquiao since he got knocked out.

Thing is when Cortez did let them fight inside, Floyd proved to be the superior inside fighter. Hatton was just making it physical but Cortez breaking them so quickly may have enabled Hatton to last longer lol.

Pac said Floyd's punches never hurt him yet he didn't go for broke.

He also said he thought he was up on the scorecards and took his foot off the gas in rounds 11-12.
