Are you a Hatton fan? :huh Tszyu got raped....literally I don't understand you guys honestly. If my favorite fighter loses to another, I wouldn't start threads about....."well if he was allowed to cheat more, you know if he was able to put the other guy at disadvantages, blah blah blah....." What the ****! Ok....What if Arturro Gatti fought Floyd in a 1 round MMA match :yikes do you think Floyd would still win??? atsch What did Hatton do on the inside when Cortez did let it go? atsch NOTHING!!!!!!! Hatton actually bitched about Floyds forearms and elbows :rofl Imagine Cortez allowed floyd to use them more???? It would look like a 2 minute Muy Tai fight with Hatton getting KTFO by a roundhouse elbow :deal Face it smart guy, Floyd is better then Hatton on the inside too! He is better in a clean fight and a dirty one. Hatton is lucky he lasted as long as he did. He was the one wearing down, he was the one getting hit on the inside and he was the one getting bothered by the elbows. :hi:
NOBODY CAN SAY WHAT WOULD BE THE DIFF AT 140. FLOYD WOULD JUST SHED THE WATER WEIGHT AND WEIGH IN AT 140 THEN FIGHT AT THE SAME FIGHT WEIGHT OF 147... HATTON WOULD JUST HAVE TO SHED MORE WEIGHT AND STILL FIGHT AT 149...WHICH IS HIS NORMAL FIGHT WEIGHT...HOW WOULD THAT CHANG ANYTHING? NOTHING WOULD CHANGE...ONLY HATTON WOULD CARRY LESS WEIGHT.
You Hatton fans need to give it up :-( Mayweather beats Hatton more convincing at 140. He's even better at 140.
While Hatton is better at 140 than he is at 147 I only see a slight advantage aginst Mayweither who reportly keeps himself at or near 147 at all times. I'm sure he can make 140 with little or no problem. Would it make a diffrence if the ref was diffrent? You can make the argument that Hatton was winning the fight through the first 5-7 rounds before Mayweither took over the fight in the eighth. Mayweather' speed would have cought up to Hatton at some point in the fight no matter how the fight was refed. The home team or in this case boxer dose have advantages. They don't have to traval and have the emtional uplift from their suporters. Yes Hatton had to traval to Las Vages but how much of the crowd was their for him? The short answer is Mayweather would still win.
You can't even make that arguement...Mayweather outlanded Hatton throughout the fight...you can say Hatton won the 5th round but after watching the fight several times I can't find another round that Hatton won...It really wasn't a close fight...Hatton landed less that 5 significant punches and look how many times Floyd knocked his head backwards...
Hatton tried to pack the weight on against Collazo weighing 160 fight night against him. Hatton weighed 154lb on fight night against Floyd. When Hatton fights at 140 he weighs in 152-154 on fight nights. The weight was NOT an excuse. Now stfu Hatton got owned.
no, Floyd is better at 140 also. the reach advatage floyd has is way to much to overcome for Hatton. not to mention Floyd is a much better fighter period.
After seeing the Tzyu fight I would give Hatton a chance if the fight was in Manchester. The ref would expect Floyd to lay on the ropes and let ricky maul him and penalize him for anything other than that. However that may just **** floyd off and make him KTFO Ricky sooner.
