    Hatton looked the same against Mayweather, yesterday he was just in with an inferior opponent with NO power at all. I saw Paulie hitting Hatton with some check hooks :yep

    HE weighed two lbs more. He gets owned at 140 by Mayweather.

    Cosign. It was the same Hatton. Paulie has poor defense if you really watch him. He keeps his right hand under his chin for some ******ed reason so thats why he was constantly caught with left hooks. He did not use angles and when he did he could only jab and throw a weak left hook. No right hands. Now toss in Floyd who can do all of the above but doesnt have **** poor defense and a GREAT right hand. It was the same damned Hatton. Hatton threw more jabs but that would not of helped him much against Floyd. The big difference in the fight on why Hatton could really get the ball rolling is no body work by Paulie. Floyd slowed Hatton down by constant body attack even if it was little shots in the clinch. British logic is always hilarious.

    Exactly, the fight looked exactly the same except Paulie had no power to keep Hatton off and Hatton was able to come in and walk through Paulies punches.

    Hatton looked better than he has done for a while and I think he had better head movement than he did against floyd. The only problem is that you can see it is hard for him not to revert back into his old habits and his natural aggression leads him onto punches. I think he is absorbing some of the things he's been taught but will need to carry on working with FMS to get a consistent improvement.

    That's a really good point actually. -----> Hatton put's him self a big disadvantage by wasting his training camp on weightloss.

    Yes, Hatton actually fought an excellent fight against Mayweather, and though I was drunk off my ****ing chair when he fought Malinaggi, I thought he fought very well and was able to put the near-tragedy against Lazcano behind him.
