    I was happy with his performance given the circumstances (1st fight since being put on his arse) but he led with a left hook far too much! He said after the fight that he was trying to catch him but it consistently missed, had Lazcano been a shade quicker he would have been able to catch him on the way in.

    Saying that I dont see him making the same mistake against Malignaggi and I still think the rest of the bunch are nowhere near him!

    Hatton is on the decline no doubt about that after his last performance.

    He still probably has enough to beat Malignaggi but Floyd would beat him even worse this time. He was getting hit way too often, his punch resistance looks as if it's gone and a bigger puncher would have stopped him.

    He should do himself and his health a favour and retire after the next one.

    Hatton showed nothing new. He is wide open to punches and can not take punches to the body at all.

    Hatton is basic. Lazcano gave him a good fight and Hatton should retire.

    Bow to the King.

    i thought hatton fought a great fight considering the pressure and chest infection he was at a hyper tempo from start to finish .
    i gave ricky 11 rounds.



    outta 10 id say 7.
