    How the hell do you find those rounds for Hatton?

    Did he even hit Mayweather all night? It's very difficult to win rounds when you are hitting arms and gloves, it really is.

    Even had Mayweather not thrown a punch those should have been 10-10.

    Mayweather was on his bike in the first, though you could say 10-10 if you are a hater like yourself

    The fifth was definitely Hatton's round, whilst the sixth could have been 9-9 taking into account the point deduction - though I gave it to Floyd.

    The eighth was a definite 10-8 to Mayweather - the ninth wasn't by any stretch.

    But for the ringpost, I felt he was hearing the final bell - no doubt you will disagree strongly.

    "All threads lead to Hatton..." :roll:

    Look up "Godwins Law" on Wiki/ Google, we need a similar system for Hatton on here (or some of us do).;)

    I'm pretty sure it was 10 point must system, but you do have a point :lol:

    A few rounds could have been 9-9 with Hatton hitting all that Nitrogen, Oxygen and arms with Mayweather doing nothing.

    He would never have made the distance, ringpost or otherwise. He was getting tired and more sloppy, and thus it was like taking candy from a baby for Mayweather to hit him with clean counters when he bullrushes in without even a jab or head movement.

    The only way it could have been feasible was if Cortez incorrectly failed to warn him for his BS hugging as he did in Hopkins/Calzaghe. Maybe Hatton could have held on and avoided so much clean leather in this scenario. People fail to realise this is his main defence mechanism, and he's very vulnerable without it. I think if refs (naming no names here - Dave and Foster :roll:) showed Cortez' strength more often, he would have a few KO losses.

    Laughable aswell. Danny was nothing more than a human punching bag. What a beating!

    No ones mentioned Tyson Bruno 1 or rather 2!? Poor Frank had to be hypnotised for that bout. It still didnt work as he took a frightful beating and nearly lost his eye sight.

    How about Lockett vs Yuri Tsarenko? The guys face was like a side of beef. And Gomez vs Kevin Lear. Lear was a fine boxer. He totally humiliated and humbled Gomez into defeat. And you might want to add Murray and Vanzies loss`s too Romanov. Pure humiliation for both at its carnal best.

    I felt Mayweather was doing as much holding as Hatton

    One thing I didn't anticipate was Floyd 'outdirtying' Hatton with the forearms and elbows

    Yep, Cortez in recent years is a fine example of a ref. What a joke!

    Hatton was outclassed but he lost by KO because he tried to win, despite the deductions etc. He could've taken the decision if he'd chosen.

    Such a feeble excuse. Hatton was fighting Floyd not Cortez. The Marquis of Queensbury rules are quite clear.

    Nah Cortez has been bollocks recently, but only because of his inconsistency. He had the right idea in that fight, stop that gay WWE **** right prompto. Shame he didn't apply it in Calzaghe/Hoke-kins, and the Soto farce was a bit silly.

    How could he have taken the decision if he chose to? He only knows one way how to fight, its not like he made a conscious decision to be aggressive.

    What's he gonna do, jab and move? :nut

    I think he could have gone the distance until he hit the ring post, and may have done as I have previously said.

    But running isn't really the Hatton way.

    There were some cases when Cortez was breaking them before the clinch. Anyhoo, it was a clear defeat rather then a "painful" one.

    Scurla, I'd forgotten that Lockett fight that was pretty brutal, far worse than the Pavlik fight.
