    For the first time since it happened four years ago.

    Ricky's foot speed definitely threw Mayweather off in the first six rounds, and he was slipping Mayweather's lead rights and lead hooks by pulling back with reflexes. He was also the one getting punches off at close quarters, Mayweather was only able to get elbows and forearms off.

    Most of Hatton's rights were short, clubbing shots rather than clean accurate blows and you could say it was ineffective aggression when Mayweather was pinned to the ropes. Whereas Mayweather landed atleast one clean accurate timed hard right per round (one more than Hatton...), leading from the crouch.

    When Floyd adjusted by using much more lateral movement after six rounds, and being even more physical with his elbows and forearms when Hatton got round to him, he walked it. But he did look genuinely worried, hurt and swelling on his stool before the sixth, did Mayweather.

    I honestly think if Ricky had better training and refereeing, he would've won the fight. He gradually started moving in that bit slower, that bit less focussed, that bit more reckless, as the rounds went by. Until he stopped using angles, stopped slipping back, and fell to pieces.

    After six, if he jabbed his way in or moved his head on the way in, and was allowed to work more freely inside from the referee, he had Mayweather's number.

    people like to talk like that fight was a total schooling, forgetting that up until about the 7 round stage, it was very competitive and that the referee did Hatton no favours what so ever. I believe HBO had to hatton by a round around that stage.

    People need their memories checked.

    I think they had Hatton by two rounds despite the point deduction.

    I have always thought it was Hatton's best performance, despite the defeat.

    To be fair to Floyd -- he found a way to win, as he always says he can.

    0 energy + singing in a winter = Mayweather

    Loss + singing in a winter = Pacquiao

    It was always gonna be head first into the turnbuckle at least (because of the singing).

    you're talking utter shite i'm afraid. Hatton got taken apart and KTFO. Mayweather was never worried, he does as he normally does which is take his time to take a good look at his opponent, then gradually crank it up. And people like you say Hatton was on top early :patsch:lol:. Mayweather was in control of that fight from the first second, stop kidding yourself.

    In the end Hatton got embarrassed, how many of his elite level opponents did Mayweather knock out like that? Hatton was never an elite fighter, just a glorified WBU champ who was carefully promoted.

    Floyd hardly knocked him out did he? :lol: Dropped him, stopped him, but was hardly a 'K.O'.

    Maybe you need a reminder. Hatton was in a bad way and the ref saved him from scrambling up (maybe) and almost certainly getting viciously sparked.

    How many opponents has Mayweather done that to? ****ed up that badly. I can't think of any. Chico was down a few times but never messed up like glass jaw Wicky.
