    Dont get me wrong, Ive talked many times on this forum about how much harder it is to fight a lefty and then can easily make you look worse then you are but Come on man, this wasnt even close to the Chop fight. Chop was in it for like 4 rounds and then he didnt win another round. Alot of people think Collazo won this fight

      Yeah there was a point where I saw Collazo raise his arms and look at the ref....when Hatton was still 4 feet away. After seeing that, Hatton clinched.

        hatton should vacate the title and go back down to 140 where he can still dominate and still get some good fights in.
        yep..now he is on a path headed right for Pretty Boy...thats going to end his career before 5 fights....

          yeah he only came to welter so he could fight pbf which is a **** decision on hattons part based on what happened tonight. he sucks haha i was hopin hed live up to the hype that his supporters are always talkin about how hes so fun to watch. i guess if u like john ruiz then hattons almost okay to watch

            Hatton proved he can win at Welter even against what was seen by everyone as a strange (difficult) choice of opponent. Yeah he could be the ruler of the light-welter division, but theres no big money fights there anymore. Who would he fight? Its all very well for people to say what he should and shouldnt be doing, but thats cos u dont know what his motives were for doing what he did. He never said he felt like 147 was his natrual division, and he never struggled to make ten stone, its just a case of chasing his dream to be considered the best, and chasing the money of match-ups with Cotto and Mayweather.

            Based on this performance he wouldnt beat mayweather, but hes growing into the division and hes growing as a fighter. I'd like to see him fight Castillo or Gatti now, then Cotto. I think he can still beat mayweather, but not now. Mayweather's camp would be smart to offer him the fight now before he gets any better

              Hatton wants to fight Floyd and acknowldes he's the best in the sport. I don't think there's anything wrong with him wanting the fight even if his chances are slim.

              Coming to the US to fight such a bad style match up was a step up as far as I'm concerned. Good on him.

                If Hatton is going to stay at 147! He is going to need to change his style a bit.. At the moment he has no chance at all of beating mayweather. He would not be able to cut the ring off good enough to pin him down. I think hes next few fights should be with guys of simular styles to mayweather, And get a few new tools in is tool box. As we all no hes a great body man. But maybe he needs to practice a bit more on the hit and run side of things. As that is what mayweather would do all day if Hatton and him was to get it on right now..

                  hes clearly way too small at 147 i love hatton but to be hoenst margarito would kill him
                  i would love to see ricky duke it out with gatti in a nice blood bath n then fight the likes of cotto and corrales or castillo and then beat mayweather to end his career
                  Hatton would have a lot more success against Margarito. He aint a slick southpaw like Collazo! This fight would be a lot more pleasing for us, the fans!!!

                    Thats totally wrong, It was Hattons first fight at 147 v a southpaw with he has always had probelems with in a championship bout infront off the american public and media he boy jst had a bad night i am pretty sure he will get better,

                    And u believe COLLZO won tht fight? k watever lol

                    any1 could see Hatton won tht fight by atleast 4 rounds easy
