Comments Thread For: Hatton: Joshua Beats Andy Ruiz Nine Out of Ten Times!

[BeLikeWater]

Hatton lost me as a fan when he retired after that fight. He lost to Mayweather and Pacquiao and gave it up! That's not a fighter. Also Pacman said after the fight that he won on a tell. You'd think he would have at least tried again.

As for Joshua - I genuinely don't know at the moment. I'd say he wins 5 out of 10 times for the time being. He's not going to be dumb enough to swing standing next to Ruiz the next time at least but he still got a terrible chin and recovery and Ruiz is faster.

It's a big challenge for him. I think it's too many shortcoming to overcome in one fight.

Too much muscle and not enough stamina.

Not rangey enough. Poor head movement.

Poor ring control. Forgets his place in the ring.

And ultimately he relies on his stardom to get him through the fight like in England. The way he tried to relax on the ropes add if he could get away with milking time from the ref after the knockdown.

This is just who he is as a fighter at the moment.

Well, technically he DID give it one more go a few years later, but got KO'd by Senchenko before retiring for good.

Even if you were a pro boxer all your life, an expert boxing trainer or boxing fan all your life who you think will win rematch is up in air.
Same reason why it's so difficult to judge who wins a fights and judges get it wrong boxing is not an exact science and is open to interpretation.
Some convinced Ruiz always beats josh. Some think josh was complacent? Nobody knows. It's all guess work

Let's see if he can manage 1 out of 2 first.

Joshua can come in to the rematch with a better game plan and if he can execute it, win the fight. But with Joshua's stamina issues, I think pressure will always be hard for him.

Many Brits seem to be a bit delusional about their boxers, boxing history and boxing talent. This is just another example.

such a ******ed comment, hatton epitomised what a true fighter is. He didnt take care of himself in between fights so was never going to have a long career. Sure he lost to mayweather and pacquaio but most did. props for him getting out of the sport before he got badly hurt as ricky's style lead to a lot of damage so fair play to him hes a top bloke

Would you care to supply some evidence to back up your moronic generalisation or, as is pretty much always the case in your mundane ramblings, rely on soundbites and whatever infantile glibness pops into your partially formed cranium.
You’re so pointless and nauseatingly thick it hurts.

I wish American's showed this level of love/delusion like that to each other after they get beatdown.

He got knocked down four times and lost most of the rounds.
