p4pdabest - you are the most arrogant idiotic poster on this forum - period I think your a tad jealous of Hattons support.
Im not at all, I nknow Mayweatehr was superb that night, evn with his cheating. But he was superb Your problem is that your a typical arrogant yank who can't see past his own hand. And his soooo jealous that his own country can't produce and passion liek us English/Brits can. You have ONE good boxer, ONE, and he has retired. Now stop your jealousy, one state in florida is bigger than the UK yet we match you at boxing in present Must be hard
I suggest you rewatch the fight. Cortez broke up the clinches about 10-15 times in the first round. Also, to add insult to your injury he also brung both fighters together and told them to stop with the wrestling. Same exact way as the Floyd fight.
You keep talking about this country $hit like I really give a f_ck. I like fighters from every country. & you guys don't have many good fighters anyways, PW will smoke almost everyne you guys have.
Froch is going down this April. Hatton has already been down, may go down again this May. Bute isn't even one of you. Kessler is still fighting bums. Sergiy is pretty good, just underrated.
Taylor is nothnd special at all, neither is Froch may i add, both would get there ass handed to them by Calzaghe, including Dawson. ANd do i care about Kessler, Calzaghe has already whipped his ass. Bute....., Sergiy... Whats your point?
Your suggestion that the point deduction unravelled Hatton is trash. Hatton was wearing down from the effective work Floyd was putting on him. Floyd's stamina prevailed late and Hatton was knocked out. The point deduction did not result in the knockout. However, you are very correct that if Hatton fights as he did against Mayweather, at that high level, then he will knock Manny Pacquiao out. Hatton was simply matched against a superior foe in Mayweather with incredible defensive prowess. Pacquiao's defense is nothing like Mayweather's, and I expect Hatton to be the stronger man against Pacquiao as he was not against Mayweather. So, if Hatton can bring his high level of fighting to the ring, he stops Pacquiao.
Joe Cortez contributed to Hatton loosing because he didn't let Hatton hold, or do his Hatton mauling technique, i am sure this was Hattons plan. a few weeks later Cortez lets Bhop hold Calzaghe to Bhops advantage, Joe Cortez is the worst re in boxing because he screws up boxers game plan because he totally inconsistent and a confused old man.
Don't get the whinging about Cortez tbh, ok I can understand ppl might think the deduction was harsh but he was right to be breaking them apart. Straight from the off they were BOTH wrestling and being very rough, Hatton bent FM's arm back exactly like Tyson did to Botha (who lost two points for it I believe) and Mayweather was headlocking him and did elbow him a couple of times. When you're reffing a fight and both guys are fighting dirtily on the inside what do you do just let them and see who comes out on top? At the end of the day Mayweather just outclassed Hatton and imo he would have done the same in Manchester with one of Hatton's personal Referee's.
