    Full crdit to money mayweather last. Despite some really bad tactics early on, he really did close the show. GREAT SHOT THAT FINISHED IT

    I think ricky hatton has faded as a fighter. the ballooning in weight has really caughht up with him. he never seemed to have the sharpness of previous fights. he never worked the body like he used too.

    Ricky didn't slip. Mayweather just knew exactly what to do to neutralize everything Ricky had to offer.

    He didn't work the body because Floyd was holding him a lot.

    I think after the shell shock from last night, the excuse train and apologists finally got their wind back and will now get to work.

    i mean that ricky has slipped as a fighter. remember after the urango fight, loads of people were thinking that he was on the slide. then he managed to ko castillo early. if JLC had of took him into the later rounds we may not have had last nights fight

    you still have got to give pbf credit for stopping him. he could of just beat him with his jab until the final bell. credit to him, he went for the KO

    If this fight would have happened in 2005 at 140 the result would have been no different. PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Hatton and would beat him everytime.

    Ricky doesn't have the rhythm, sharpness, or snap he once had. But the reason for that: he's been fighting world class opposition and not regional level fighters.

    He's the same Ricky Hatton, just fighting better opponents, so he doesn't look like he did when he held the WBU.

    That one comes from a joke Hatton made during the post-fight interview.
