Hatton fight - Opinions

The ***** still annoys me, but I've got to say he looked his best since Tszyu in there

Looked sharp, the loss definitely wasn't on his mind. What struck me was the accuracy of his punching, he was thinking more than usual. The only thing I would say is his defence was the same old open ****, and it is hard to judge stamina when you have everything going your way, but I can only say it looked fine

 

Sorry guys, I was left deflated by the performance.

Too many mistakes, a top guy with a decent punch takes him out.

Sadly, he's on the way out

 

hes still the best in a weak division, i'm pritty sure he'll be undefeated at light welter over the next 2 years,

 

It was okay but I don't think Ricky himself was particularly happy with his performance. Lazcano was brave but not really competitive & the result was never really in doubt. Hatton will give Paulie a pasting but as for a rematch with Floyd, as is the plan, it's plain he has no chance.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Bradley could beat Hatton at his own game these days.

 

Not good enough

I'm a fan so I'll cut him some slack - he was understandably over eager, he has been ill in camp, Lazcano was tough and very game indeed.

But he was hurt a couple of times, his defence was nowhere, and it confirmed to me that he is well past his peak, althought the stamina seemed decent enough.

He's still the best at 140 but I've gotta say, if he was in with a live, tough, hungry fighter - Bradley for instance - has he got the resistance to tough it out? I don't know.

I think a Floyd fight is now unwinnable, which I thought he had a slight chance of pulling off in different circumstances before tonight.

 

Yeah agree with all of that.

Hatton is on his way down no doubt. But I still feel he can take Maliganggi.

 

How anyone could have thought Hatton had a chance of beating Floyd in different circumstances is beyond me. Unless the circumstances involve Floyd having his hands tied behind his back.

 

thought hatton done well, but if he had went in with combo's and backed off again, the fight would have been a lot more comfortable for him, he was taking shots on the inside that he didnt need to.

big up to lazcano mind you............some heart

 

Maybe people need to accept those days are over.

 

It seems more likely than a Floyd rematch.

 

Well, whether you want to ridicule this view or not, I thought that in the UK, with Cortez out of the equation, Hatton could be much more competitive.

We've done the arguments on all those points to death, It was my view, it isn't any more, I suspected Hatton was in decline and tonight confirmed it to me.

2004 Hatton had a chance against Floyd at 140. 2008 Hatton has virtually no chance against Floyd at any weight never mind 147.

 

I happen to disagree Hatton had more of a chance at 140, at any time. Mayweather has been getting worse as well. It isn't noticeable unless you have watched him through the weights, he was unbelievable at 130, getting progressively worse each time

He would just be even quicker at 140, catching Hatton at will
