    You are the exact type of poster that makes my ****in blood boil.Of course pac's hit other fighters with full force, you dummy.Pac's my favourite fighter.Hattons punch resistance has gone, hes lifestyle, getting down to 140lbs is giving his opponent a great advantage and its caught up with him.Dont need to watch f all in replay.By the way hatton loses to pac 9/10 just not as easy a few year back

    Exactly.Lazcano although a respectable puncher at lightweight had hatton on ***** street at light welter which is a bit surprising.Hatton eats them no probs a couple of years may be more ago

    He's not shot. He did not follow his corner's instruction as Pac executed his game plan.

    So what you are saying is that his mind was shot, thus resulting in him being a shot fighter?

    hatton mentally i have concerns about, if you watch him in the castillo fight and even in the floyd fight he is a guy full of confidence, since he has lacked that.....but i still think he can bang.

    Totally shot. He will be a distant memory in the next 1-2 years.

    i respect your opinion, but in most british boxing experts circles, hatton is a living legend in british boxing history, no way will he be a distant memory....and in vegas they love ricky.

    Definitely - I'm not taking away his fanbase. It was clear to me that he had the best/most unique fanbase in the history of boxing.

    Yes, but manner of defeat comes into it.

    He wasn't just beat he was butchered, more so by Pac than Mayweather. But you could argue that Mayweather softened him up first.

    He was hurt a few times by Lazcano after Mayweather, and then the Malignaggi fight kinda papered over the cracks (Paulie can't punch for ****). Hatton's punch resistance is definitely on the slide, which isn't surprising given his style and the number of fights he's had. He still probably has enough left to hold his own with most of those in the LWW division. If Khan beats Kotelnik I bet a fight with Hatton is one Frank Warren will be gunning for.

    Shot compared to what ? He fought 2 p4d gr8's !

    So did Oscar, narrowly losing to one and lasting 4 times longer against the other.

    I like Ricky but i think he had one great fight, taking out an ageing Kostya.

    I've never seen Pac hit someone with that much power AND on the button.

    As for getting down to 140. What are you on about? Hatton's natural weight is at 140, that's the division he was lineal champion of.

    He only went up to meet Mayweather once and when he was defeated he said 'I am still the King at 140'

    Don't get me wrong I like Hatton, he's a good laugh has great fans and he is great for boxing but I am sick of all the excuses.

    Hatton fought two elite fighters who beat him because he is not an elite fighter. He doesn't have the dicipline or devotion to become an elite fighter. Pretty simple.

    Not shot at all, he is in his prime. Just ran into a far better opponent who hits like a truck.

    Do u think hattons your average 140lb fighter who probably puts on a stone in between fights ? NO, u know very well hes coming down from 185lb plus, and its gotta have damaged him doing it, thats what i was saying, simple.Riddick bowe was slagged for putting weight on and ruining his career, which is true, and i bet hatton p4p blew him out the water for fluctuating weight.Theres no excuses coming from me pal.Hatton got beat fair and square.His weight reducing would show in him being able to take a shot and his stamina would be running out at the half way stage, both have been apparent recently.The better/more proffessional fighter won.Now what i did say, is it would be a different fight a few years ago but with the same winner, because i truely believe hattons shot to ****

    Although i think tsyzu was sliding when he fought hatton, he still caught ricky with bombs, but he shook them off and kept on coming.Hattons always been easy to hit, its just that he could take it better in the past.
