About Rick Hatton, you can all go **** yourselves..

[MetalVomit]

Hatton is the best body puncher in the world and always has been, he came up with combinations to the body that nobody had ever done before.

The guy is seriously good, you American's just haven't seen the best of him.

What we've seen from him is, a good body attack, but a ridiculous amount of wrestling/grappling techniques, and it's garbage. JuyJuy, you are a lunatic. Must be hard to type.

You forgot to mention that he hits and hugs like a little *****

The only fight he EVER held another opponent, apart from his last three, was Ben Tackie a few times. It's good tactics!

What did you make of the Oliviera fight, Juice? Don't you think he kept pinning Ray's arm a bit?

I don't recall him holding Oliveira.

The first time I ever saw Hatton clinch anybody was Tackie a few times, and I thought it was good tactics. Another tool to his box.

Fact of the matter is that after the Kostya fight yall gave a lot of excuses about him clinching, about it being a one time thing, etc. Unfortunately he has fought like that his last 3 fights unless he shows anything different against top opposition he is gonna be known for clinching.

Maussa and Collazo weren't top opposition, Magee is the best Hatton has fought outside of Tszyu.

Styles make fights too so I dont see Hatton changing his style. It's the only way he knows how to fight especially against fighters with superior boxing ability. Hatton is more brawler then he is boxer so he's not gonna OUTBOX a Mayweather, Judah or a Margarito. He's gonna have to clinch , grab or punch and hold.

And people wonder why I made this thread?

Hatton did not clinch and hold, and brawling is not the only way he knows how to fight. That is absolute bull****.

Hatton went to Bulgaria and OUT-BOXED their best guys in 1995, and he OUT-BOXED the top guys at the world championships in 1996, and he BOXED in his early pro fights, and he OUT-BOXED Eamonn Magee and Ben Tackie when a lot of people felt he would lose those fights (under-rated his BOXING ability).

Hatton never clinched anybody in his life until towards the end of the Tackie fight.
