Hatton just isn't boxing!!!

I don't really love his style, but it's effective. If the fight intrigues me, I'll buy it.

 

so what. you want a ****in cookie or something? stop your whining

 

If he isnt boxing then how come u reckon he's a great boxer?

 

i disagree, so it may be scrappy at times but its sure more entertaining than watching Mayweather **** about in the ring for twelve rounds.

 

it just depends on each person's preference's i too don't like hugging in boxing but that style have brought him very far and we should all just appreciate that

 

It's boxing, he's in there to end the fight, and I personally appreciate that more than a guy trying to outpoint the other guy by landing more but less meaningful shots. Hatton needs to get his work done inside, which leads to alot of clinching, but its not like he is stalling, he is working. I personally like his style, yes its a sport and a science, but its also a fight, and Hatton makes it a fight.

 

Couldn't have said it better.

The delahoya -hatton match I would buy though... wonder how oscar thinks he can deal with hattons holding and wrestling.

 

I actually like Hatton's style. I don't mind the clinching because it's not really a defensive move that he uses to stifle the action. He usually uses it to push the guy back, then let's him go and hammers him with a combo. The only time I thought he was boring was in the latter stages of the Urango fight. He was obviously tired and/or hurt because his clinches were purely stalling tactics.

But otherwise I've thought his fights were badass. Against Tszyu, Castillo, Maussa, and pretty much his entire career besides the Urango and Collazo fights (although the Collazo one was decent), I thought it was exciting.

 

Of course its boxing.............Its a style ffs............& its effective.......Floyd is the best p4p in the world........He moves hits & then runs.......Not the most exciting but a style that has made him the best........Hattons style is push , pressure & alot of very good inside work ........ ask castillo's ribs if they think Ricky "Just isnt boxing"....!!!!!!!!!!

 

If I watch Hatton, I know that I will be excited since I have watched nearly all his fights - an unusual occurence for me, that is - and thus feel thrilled by seeing him succeed at the highest of levels.

His style is not a problem. This is pretty much a fact, since he has not lost a fight.

Wake me up when referees start to jump on it. Until then there is no point in being bitter - use your energy on something else.

 

I'd like to see Hatton take on Mayweather. Then we will see the limitations of Hatton's style. If he beats a Mayweather at his best it means that either boxing has become something other than hitting without getting hit or that despite of his shortcomings in style, Hatton's approach is perfectly legal and fine, even if it appears strange. Do you agree?

 

Hatton just developed a style to his strengths. He's a good infighter and it would not be the wisest thing for him to do to box in a manner that plays to his opponent's strengths and takes away his own advantage. There is a fine art to knocking somebody out with a left hook to the liver. One seldom sees that in a title bout. I prefer Hatton's performance vs Castillo over watching somebody else throw pitty pat punches and showboat to a 12 round decision. Hat made judging irrelevant. I love it when a fighter can take complete control of a contest and eliminate everybody else's effect on the contest and makes it truly his fight.
