    Hattons own left hook was seriously telegraphed, anyone could read it.

    Hatton never had a chance in hell, he never once hurt Mayweather in the fight. His best moment was literally a min and a half in the first when he made him stumble with the left jab.

    That's it. He was completely and utterly destroyed.

    That check left hook into the turnbuckle was a work of art.

    Hatton never recovered in his boxing career.

    He even said that after May knocked him out, his body was already so damaged that every punch from his subsequent opponents felt like it was going to knock him out!!!

    May ended his career that night on Dec 8th, 2007.

    No he didn't lol.

    He even said Lazcano was an inch away from knocking him out, every punch felt like a knockout blow to him.

    May destroyed him, Hatton was never ever the same again

    I don't really buy in to the fact fighter was not the same stuff like how *******s claim Cotto was not the same when Floyd fought him it shouldn't take away from the fighters achievements Cotto is still doing well now.Its like saying when a fighter loses he will never go on to do great things their needs to be a line drawn.

    He wasn't exactly dynamic.

    Hatton was getting beat up on the inside also when Cortez was allowing it

    Hatton stopped the #2 Malignaggi @140 which was never stopped before. Floyd fought hatton @147 after struggling with Collazo at the same weight.

    Do you know who's not the same again? Cotto after Pac but somehow, he was unshot when Floyd fought him.

    Of course, when cortez allowed it in the later rounds, hatton was already ****ed up. And Flord was using his elbows alot

    May did what he was supposed to do given his style. He could have hit him with whatever punch he desired, if he was willing to take more risks.
    Hatton was exposed when he first stepped up against Collazo.

    And what's funny is that the same people that said Marquez's KO was lucky, won't say the same about Pacquiao's KO of Hatton. Pacquiao just had Hatton's number, better game plan, power, speed. etc.

    According to a lot of people he's "unshot" beating Rodriguez and Martinez and a lot of people even believe he'd beat Floyd under Roach. Truth be told, he was never shot.

    To be fair to them Pac was all over hatton and you was kind of expecting the ko nevertheless the Marquez ko was not luck it was well timed.
