    Oscar's reaction when Mosley hurt Floyd was priceless.

    He absolutely lost his ****.

      In my opinion he was a vastly superior fighter and would beat Hatton 100 times out of a hundred at any weight with any referee in any country.

        Precision: Hatton couldn't get in or out without being punished.

        Beating Hatton on the inside: Hatton couldn't maul Mayweather and he took crisp body punches every time he tried.

        Essentially, he let Hatton tire himself out whilst putting a systematic beating on him.

          So many people thought it was the end of the line for Mayweather when Mosley caught him.

            Oh yeah, for sure.

            I was in attendance. The crowd went absolutely nuts when it landed.

              I'm watching now. Floyd is much stronger than Hatton.
              Neutralise boy... you spelled it wrong twice lol

              And I agree, down the stretch Floyd got stronger but on the inside, early on, Hatton was going well but the ref kept getting in his way. Then it came down to superior skill and May was too good for Hatton.

              Not a bad effort on Hatton's account though, considering he was moving up and more than held his own for almost 5 rounds.

                Joe Cortez helped out plenty. Ha.

                    Leading and then tieing him up not letting Hatton get into a rythm.

                    I expected Floyd to move a lot more than he did in this fight, but it seemed from early that he fight was going to be an ugly one with a lot of wrestling. I think Hatton was expecting a much easier time at close range, he's eluded to that in the past.

                    This is the last time Floyd really pushed for a stoppage. There's a moment in the 8th round where he hurts Hatton with a check left hook and throws about 20+ punches unanswered. When do you ever see Floyd doing that? Never. Not since that fight.
                    Yep. That was a thing of beauty.

                      He was just a smarter fighter.

                      He had a way of taking away a fighters best attributes and use them against them. Same way neutralized DLH's Jab and Mosley's speed.
