i watched hatton v thaxton just now on youtube and he boxed really well ( considing the bad cut and all) anyone know where i can watch other fights hes boxed well in and been smart? i hear he boxed well vs tackie and a few others and altho i did watch it was many years ago and i wasnt a huge fan of boxing as i am today and didnt take much notice, as we all know since tszyu he hasnt used his boxing skills as much.so guys where can i watch these,any links?
this is how i expect him to come out against pac, more slow and patient [YT]DS6FcnBgzOw&feature=related[/YT]
he says he used his boxing skills against urango, thats if you believe skills to involve hitting then grabbing
Slow and patient won't cut it against Pac if he gets jumped on. If Pac forces the pace early on expect Hatton to revert to the hugging him to death
from what i remember ( and i havent watched it since the time)hatton boxed well untill after the middway stage
he boxed ok but if you actually watch the fight and notice how many times he grabs and smothers urango is terrible, even jim watt commentating says how well hatton is doing by grabbing urango
There is no way in a million years that watching that salmon fight can give you any indication of whats what for Paqiauo. The opposition is light years apart and there will be no time or patience when it comes to Pac. Its going to come down to how much Floyd Snr has improved Rickys defence & then if in the later rounds he can make his size & strength count
No-one can improve Rickys defence, Hatton is what he is, a come forward dirty fighter. Thats why I cant get my head around why they employed a bum trainer like Maywaether snr. This aint Rocky III, Graham has moulded Hatton into what he is, & its too late to break the mould.
What utter tripe, Floyd has already improved his defence so you are way off mark with your comment. You sound like a hater who knows **** all which I know is not the case. What is it you have against Hatton?
He's Scottish and therefore has an irrational chip on his shoulder about any successful English fighter. To the extent of having to make up incidents (Hatton allegedly throwing a sombrero at a prone Alex Arthur after Gomez knocked him out) which have been proven not to have happened in order to justify the hating!
I'm Scottish as well TKO and you're obviously a mong. Hopefully Hatton engages Pacman as SuperManny has never been hit by anyone who can punch at this weight. I expect Ricky to stop him, and the general forum to explode.
No, I'm a fairly intelligent chap actually. That wasn't meant to come out as a dig at you all or a generalisation, just a comment on what I know to be the case from previous experience of Dunky's posting history (for example, the above Sombrero claims and the rants about how Alex Arthur was robbed by those conspiring Englanders in a fight where even the man himself admitted Nicky Cook had beaten him fair and square).

And Cook blootered Arthur. Almost too easily would be my only conspiracy type comment.
