Hatton does not react to taking a punch very well.

I dont think there is anything wrong with Hattons durability.

As has been noted Tszyu hit him hard and often in their fight, and yes Tszyu was past his prime but he wasnt "shot" as alot of people like to throw about.

Also the Collazo fight was close but Collazo certainly wasnt robbed and the Lazcarno fight got blown all out of proportion by people who have an agenda to hate on Hatton. Hatton was stung but he wasnt save by the referee.

As for the Mayweather punch he got caught by a perfectly timed counter punch.

Its only like me now questioning Pacquaios durability after he was put down and shook up off Husseins JAB, Larios had him shaken up and so to did JMM. Not to mention he was stopped in 3 rounds.

Now because of this do i believe Pac has question marks over his durability? Hell no, and niether should Hattons durability be when the only evidence people haveis what could have beens, i.e Lazcarno and Collazo.

 

Just out of interest, did you expect Calzaghe to lose against Lacy and Kessler?

Nah, it's okay forget it. You'd just spew rhetorical **** - and you know what they say.....don't expect anything other than **** from an *******. :good

 

Look at it this way, When Hatton beat Paulie, Hatton didnt take **** for punishment in that fight, he had a quick skilled boxer in there and Hatton out boxed out moved and out worked Paulie clearly.

When Cotto fought the same guy at 140 Cotto got hit more than Hatton did, and some say Paulie was in that fight.
Sorry to say but I think people are writting off Ricky Hatton too quickly here.

 

I didnt expect Calzaghe to lose to either guy, infact I predicted wins in both fights. there were few of us here on ESB when that happend the majority picked Lacy.

 

The same people who praised Malignaggi for his effort against Cotto and claiming he would beat Hatton where then the same people who where claiming Malignaggi was a bum because of the ease in which Hatton beat him.

 

Thats why I've said that Pac fought very well against Diaz and Oscar but he'll have to do more to beat Hatton. I'm not knocking those 2 wins, Pac was awesome in both fights. I'm just saying those two fights might not mean as much as some people think they will when Hatton is in the other corner.

I don't need to hate Pac to support Hatton.:good

 

great post mate :good

 

I think he takes a punch well, but he has gaping holes in his defense, which has improved some with Mayweather. He doesn't look like he reacts well because when he gets caught, he gets caught pretty cleanly.

 

eamonn magee had him down

 

Still not bad for 46 fights though, eh?
