Does Hatton's performance v Mayweather start to look better as time goes on?

I think it does. Floyd has been dominating everyone. Cotto had some success but still probably lost 9 or 10 rounds. Hatton really got at him early on.

 

Hatton didn't win a single round and got stopped!

 

Didn't win a single round?

That doesn't quite tell the whole story of the fight does it? Do you think Guerrero and others did better than Hatton?

 

despite what people say , I thought hatton was well in the fight up until cortez deducted the point

Lederman had hatton up at the stoppage , this was ott but hatton done well used his excellent footwork to give Floyd trouble and almost dropped him

 

Not sure if serious.

Until Cortez took the point (rd 8?) Hatton was really giving Floyd problems. It was after that Floyd totally dominated him until the stoppage.

 

Only one guy did worse, IMO. Ortiz. Hatton got smashed to pieces. His level was painfully apparent that night.

 

Not massively, whilst Hatton was competitive I've never had it as close as others did, think i gave him two rounds and when Mayweather stepped up the pace he took him apart.

 

That's bull****. I had it even at the point deduction.

 

Officially he only won 2 rounds on one scorecard, and one on the other. But I watched the fight again last week and he caused Mayweather a lot more problems than certainly Guerrero and others did. He just lost his head with the referee, who didn't help. I think with another referee it would have been closer, but I doubt the result would have been any different

 

I think it's stretching things to say he caused Mayweather a lot of problems. Mayweather was fairly comfortable with the fight on the inside and could match Hatton, though i think he lost a couple of rounds. He seen what Hatton had then went through the gears later on in the fight like he tends to do, and took him out.

Hatton did better than Guerrrero for sure, but that's not saying a great deal, frankly Hatton was a better fighter than Guerrero is so you would expect him to. He never really caused Floyd a great deal of problems IMO, though he was competitive enough early on.

The one thing you can say is Hatton really went in there to win, and did everything he could even though it led him to be stopped. The same can't be said of some of Floyds other opponents

 

This, Hatton threw caution to the wind after the point deduction. He was well in the fight before this and was causing Floyd problems

 

People need to watch fights and learn how to score fights. The 4 keys are;

Landing Clean & Hard Punches
Effective Aggression
Ring Generalship
Defence

In every minute of every round Mayweather was more effective than Hatton. He lost every round and got stopped. Guererro lost every round and didn't get stopped. There fore RG did better.
