    ...did it occur to anyone that he may be going right back to the drawing board and changing his style?I have no doubt in my mind a rematch with Floyd with him winning is constantly on top of his wish list.Him running in headfirst trying to beat Floyd on the inside obviously didnt work.I get the feeling he is going to modify his style, using more haed movement and actually using a jab and trying to fight a little from the outside, he cant focus on this if he runs in to another fight with a highly rated belt holder, even if he knows he can smack the **** out of everyone at 140 using his PBF fight style.So he needs a tune up to try new things, things he will use in the rematch with Floyd (too much money for it not to happen).

    Yes he is gonna mold himself into a master boxer and outbox PBF.
    You Hatton fans are pathetic. Hatton could never beat PBF. So what if he gets a jab. He has midget arms and PBF would catch him with his own jabs before he is even in range to get his off.

    I really hope Oscar beats PBF then we for sure will not watch a PBF-Hatton 2.

    I never said I thought he would beat Floyd, im only considering what might be going through Hattons Head, I think Revenge is all he is thinking about in the long term.

    At 29 it is difficult for Hatton to change his style. And why would he want to? It has got him this far in his career why would need to change. He lost to Floyd Mayweather the best boxer in the world. So? It isn't the end of the world. Keep doing what he has been doing for most of his life and I'm sure he can clear out the 140lbs division.

    Sorry Hatton fans. I'm a big fan of his as well but PBF is a horrible style match up. I said the whole way going into the fight. I even thought PBF would possibly stop him late. There is nothing wrong with one fighter being better than another.

    Hatton earned a tune up fight. PBF is phenomenon in his prime. No shame in losing to him.

    I'm a Hatton fan, but no championship fights should be easy; champions have a duty to fight the #1 contender.

    Nobody would have a problem with it if he admitted that is what he is doing. It's his trying to talk it up like he is taking on a great fight that makes it shitty

    Hatton won't be changing his style anytime soon ... he's just gonna pick opponents that are better suited to being beat by it ...

    and have more fights in manchester, with refs that are married to his cousin and with 'official hatton rules' like low blows, arm yanking and rabbit punching.

    He'll do fine.
