Why can't Hatton forget what Pacquiao did to him?

    Nope just saying he fought and went out like a warrior - on his shield.

    Clottey and Mosely on the other hand fought to save their skins.

    Hatton had the wrong corner that night...I cant help but to feel like MaySr. just set him up for failure from the beginning.

    I dont think Floyd Snr really gave a **** about him, he turned up an hour before the fight, Hatton said he never really spoke to him and also said when he was walking to the ring he felt like a man walking to the gallows. I think he would have been better off staying with Billy Graham in hindsight

    Arguing with facts with what you claim "people knew" makes you all the more looked like a desperate tit. But then again, you're a Floydiot so it comes as no surprise really.

    You're the kind of man that'd whine the world smells like fart (because you're such a simpleton not to notice your head is up your ass all the time). If it makes you forget the pathetic life you lead, carry on. :good

    im hesitant to blame sr for the loss as i heard his other trainer lee beard was giving him contradictory instructions to what senior was saying There was a lot of conflict in the camp. With that said the bare minimum you would expect from a fighter in a fight of that magnitude is that they defend themselves hatton signed his own death warrant by charging in with his hands at his waist. Somehow thats mayweather seniors fault?

    Although a bad idea from Hatton, I remember him requesting his wife to not let his son watch the fight with Pacquiao because he was willing to fight and continue to take a beating as long as there is a chance for a knockout win.

    Not the smartest plan but sure as hell a gutsy one.

    Entertainment wise way better than with Clottey and Mosley.

    Btw Cotto seemed to have a pretty solid plan on the 1st 4 rounds against Manny
    the tension on those rounds was so high that I still recall my right arm was so cold and numb during those 4 rounds.

    had the fight continued on that pace for the next 8 rounds lots of people would have had a heart attack and some would probably finish the fight before getting medical attention.

    A loss is a loss. I see no difference in fighting to survive or fighting in such a manner that you invite a KO.

    It matters greatly, warriors have this die trying attitude not cowardly running away, marquez has the right attitude as well, as does pac himself.
    These type of guys go out on their shield.
    In the end a loss is a loss but you get 10000x more respect if you go out like that than on your bike.
    Thats why it was so dissapointing to see a guy like shane mosley go out like that, I couldnt believe it.

    Going out on your shiled, to me, is fighting in a manner to win a fight, Hatton did not go out on his shield, he got KTFO because he fought in a manner that was sure to get himself KO'd, in other words he quit and fought so that he could lose "with honor"

    Hatton fought in a manner that was certain to get him knocked out you say, given Hattons attributes and style what game plan would you have given him?

    so your saying he intentionaly went foreward to get knocked out?
    Honestly, look how messed up it made him, no way he did that.
    He thought he was stronger than pac and could run over him, just bad tactics vs most likely a prime pacquiao.
    going out on your shield is more like maidana vs khan or froch vs kessler or pac vs morales 1.

    Honestly, I'm surprised he can remember what happened against Pac.

    I'm not trying to be funny. A lot of times people who suffer brain injuries in car crashes, etc. don't remember the actual event. He obviosly received a major concussion that night.
