Hatton looked dodgy in most of his fights after the Kostya Tszyu win. I think he put everything into winning that fight. The idea that Floyd ended his career is a something for Mayweather fanboys to cling onto.

What the connection is to Saturday's fight is beyond me really. It's flimsy at best.

Originally posted by Marvellous1 View PostI agree that Hatton ruined himself. First by living such an indiscplined life outside the ring and and second, by thinking he could walk through every fighter the way he did Tszyu. He suffered the Jeff Fenech effect of talking too much punishment to prove he could. Mayweather took that little bit of self belief that all fighters have before they lose. He wasn't the same the way Hamed wasn't after his fight with Barrera. Every fighter deals with it differently but I don't think Hatton ever really coped well with defeat.

The irony is that the ones who regularly detract form Hatton are those looking to discredit Mayweather. The cirmcumstances of the fight, the fact he wasn't any good in the first place..... to give Hatton credit as a fighter means Mayweather deserves it for beating him, and that's just something some "fans" just can't bring themselves to do. Don't let it get you down.
Also, Broner's approach to fighting Malignaggi was puzzling. Not nearly enough activity, even though he outlanded Paulie. Hatton definitely looked better beating Malignaggi, as did Khan. Mayweather looked like he was sparring against Marquez and Pacquiao struggled. What does it all mean? Not a lot. Triangle theories don't in boxing.

I honestly believe that a harder puncher than Lazcano would've stopped Hatton that night. It wouldn't have taken Pacquiao to do it, but if it was going to be anyone, it was better it was by the best. He was at the end, but the credit doesn't go fully to Mayweather, it goes to the things I already mentioned. Mayweather was the one to give him that first reality check.

Paulie is a world class fighter and Hatton dominated him.
That all being said. I like Paulie a lot and I think he's got a TON of heart and is a very determined fighter. I also like him as a commentator.
