Comments Thread For: Hatton: I Would've Beaten Anyone Night I Fought Tszyu, Including Mayweather

Sorry, not buying it at all Ricky.

Nope, me neither, seems another case of "the older I get, the better I was."!

With biased referee you manhandled Kostya Tszyu but payed back with Pac KO.

The only people who could possibly believe this are those incessant nationalist incels Who obsess with MAyweather

That's pretty much it.

Well, Crawford seemed to have been inspired by it, and clearly it works because when Crawford was holding and hitting, he got called #1 P4P just like Hatton did when he passed his 'eye test' against Tszyu after holding and hitting.

So these guys are on to something, like I said. Get the right ref, keep going as long as the ref lets you get away with it, become #1 P4P.

And to all you casuals saying Joe Cortez didn’t let him fight his fight. The last time I checked this sport was called boxing, not grabbing, holding and hitting or wrestling. Cortez did his job. Most of the fight was actually fought up close and Floyd just beat him at his own game. Plain and simple he was too good. Too sharp, too smart, too quick, too good defensively. Even up close Ricky barely got anything done. He was clearly losing the fight on the scorecards when he got knocked out. Accept it and move on. It’s like people saying Conor McGregor would’ve won if he could kick Floyd, lol. You can make up an “if” for anything you want but the sport is called BOXING not holding and hitting. Hatton just got outclassed, and I say that as someone thats from the same country. He needs to get over it and give TBE his just due.

tell andre ward that

The tszyu fight was his absolute peak performance and I actually thought he had the style and the engine to out work floyd, but I was wrong. Ricky couldn't touch floyd on the inside (cortez was overly fussy but it made no difference). Floyd was brilliant that night

It was the WWE that night. Never liked Hatton for the wrestling, very messy fights. He was middle of the road fighter, nothing more

[Combosnkos]

😄 lol no you wouldn't have. You beat a past his prime fighter in your home country that's why you felt good. Plus you never fought really great opposition and the few fights you did fight decent to great opposition you lost. And one other thing I dont care what anyone says luis Callazo beat you

[Damn Wicked]

That version would have performed better against Floyd but at best he would have equalled a Maidana performance, which Floyd won easily 8 to 4.
Manny would have starched him in 6 rds in a barn burner.
Too much drinking and partying ruined him. ****** man.

I see it similarly to you.

Hatton was blowing up between fights, getting really fat, drinking and doing coke. When he moved up to 147 to test himself against a good fighter (Collazo) he almost got KO'd, definitely got hurt and many people thought he got a gift decision. His lack of discipline between fights ruined him quickly. Oscar De La Hoya did the same thing in the last few years of his career. Really ****** choices from those guys!
