Hatton Believes Cortez Cost him fight With Mayweather

[JK1700]

Ricky won maybe a round

I gave him only one as well, Floyd really just beat him at his own game. Despite that I thought Hatton gave a good account of himself and Floyd said it was one of his tougher fights. He always gives Hatton respect when talking about him and their fight and the UK fans, I’ve lost a lot of respect for Hatton since their fight because of this lame excuse. Cortez let them fight on the inside a ton, but it’s boxing, not wrestling, not the UFC. I wish he would just accept it and move on. It’s not like it’s a black mark against him, TBE beat all the other great fighters of his era too. No shame in losing to the best.

Not a big fan of Floyd, but he straight whipped Hatton's ass. Blaming Cortez is ridiculous.

Floyd was a garbage in that fight. Hatton was fighting 2 persons in the ring but still gave floyd a problem. lol.

[ShoulderRoll]

Floyd was landing right hands and check hooks all fight long.

Had Cortez let them roughhouse and break the rules more Floyd would have had an answer for that as well, he can be quite cagey in the clinch.

I never thought Hatton would win but idiot Cortez would not even let Hatton compete.

Hatton wanted a referee who would not say anything if he did these things:

What I watched there was a fantastic pressuring display with one terrible low blow. What did the ref do wrong?

The fight wasn't close. So many boxers true character comes out when they lose, even guys that seemed cool. Not like Mayweather was a charismatic guy but he did it after the first Castillo fight. Even Pacquiao when Mayweather beat him.

[BoloShot]

let's be honest, Hatton would never beat mayweather, even if he had 10 tries with no referee.

Nah a dirty scrapper like Hatton could've had his way with Mayweather if his game plan was allowed to be implemented.

[BoloShot]

As expected everyone who says Hatton was dirty likes Ward. Floyd would have beat Hatton either way but there's no denying Cortez is a garbage ref.

It's called racism. I didn't like Ward or Hatton's style although I recognise they had very elite skillsets for what they did. That's called equality.

[Nay_Sayer]

Floyd was landing right hands and check hooks all fight long.

Had Cortez let them roughhouse and break the rules more Floyd would have had an answer for that as well, he can be quite cagey in the clinch.

Hatton's lack of defense was on full display that night. Mayweather was having his way..
