What did we learn about Hatton at Welterweight?

[JDizzle79]

correction, this was hattons 4th fight in the states.

not for a title...regardless, hatton still won...he came up in weight in a foreign country and won

[Manny_P]

we learnt that HBO are ball suckers.......bias as ****, but what did you expect?!...they are too smart also for getting an unknown ref to do this fight.....also, they get unknow mass judges so they can say after "hey the refs were fair, they were even from mass"...

Amen to that!!!

HBO went overboard in hyping their future cashcow.

I really have to see him fight again at Welter.
You have to give the guy time to grow into the division.
But for a first fight, especially with a durable guy like Collazo, Ricky did pretty well.

However, if Luis didn't give away a couple of the later rounds he would've pulled it out.

Cotto and Mayweather would KO Hatton within 8 rounds.

Now I know why Hatton's corner dosen't want to fight Cotto at 147, he would be too strong for Hatton.

If Collazo couldn't KO Hatton, what makes you so sure that Cotto or Mayweather could? Collazo is far bigger and stronger than Cotto and Mayweather.

Third!!!!!!

We learned that Hatton isn't strong at 147, his frame is fit for 140.

I still say, if Kostya came back, he will win in the States against Hatton...Kostya is much naturally a bigger frame and stronger person than Ricky, and inactivity, age, and his refusal to move up in weight years ago has hurt him...he has probably became injury prone because of the shock to his system with the weight loss.

Kostya was also outboxing Ricky, hurt him with the left hook, in those mid to late rounds, even though he was tired.

If Collazo couldn't KO Hatton, what makes you so sure that Cotto or Mayweather could? Collazo is far bigger and stronger than Cotto and Mayweather.

I wouldn't say that.
Especially with how high Cotto jumps up in weight on fight night.

I think Hatton beats Cotto at 140 but alot is to be proven from BOTH fighters at 147.

PBF on the other hand is alot further apart from the two at Welter. I think Mayweather would have KO'd the Hatton that fought tonite BUT once again, I think Hatton will be more impressive in his next outing.

Actually, I think that HBO was strangely fair in this one. They were tooting Collazo's horn pretty hard, too. They gave him a lot of credit for standing in and giving Hatton trouble, as well as forcing hatton out of his game in many rounds.
