Only a little different from pretending that Floyd/McGregor was a real fight.

As was said two or three posts in, Joe Cortez ruined the fight and made it a foregone conclusion. If Ricky Hatton had been allowed to fight to his strengths I'm not sure how it would have went. It would be like making Usain Bolt wear a pair of lead boots to race a horse.

Cortez was trying to keep the fight clean and obviously Hatton was incapable of doing anything else but rough housing. Although I will agree that Cortez was a little too quick to break them up in the first 2 rounds, in round 3 and onward he let Hatton fight Floyd from close range and Hatton was getting his ass handed to him in the pocket. Hatton even said when he clinched with Floyd that Floyd felt bigger and stronger than he had anticipated, he also said Floyd was a better inside fighter than he thought.
If they had a rematch, I can 100 percent guarantee you Floyd would have still won.

The build up was insane.
I watched boxing before, but this did it.
Some months before the fight I started boxing as well

[Verse 1]
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill
[Pre-Chorus]
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can't be seen?
[Chorus]
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray
