Hatton making EXCUSES now... How SAD

Ricky Hatton has insisted his career will not be ended by his defeat by Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.

The Hitman was stopped in the 10th round of his tilt at the WBC welterweight title holder, but he said: "I'll be back, don't worry."

The 29-year-old added: "I just got careless, I was a bit gung-ho. I think I was always in the fight to a degree but Floyd was picking his moment."

"I wasn't quite as smart as I wanted to be but when the point got taken off and I started forcing the fight too much. "

"I thought I was about two rounds down when the point got taken off, then I thought 'I've got to put my foot on the gas', and I left myself open. Floyd's very good at making you miss and he's better than I thought inside and he got me. "

"There should have been a touch more care from me. He's not the hardest puncher but he is very accurate and I left myself open. I didn't quite stick to my game-plan. He's not the biggest welterweight I've fought but he was very strong.

"I think I've had more punishing fights and won, but Floyd only needed that one chance and he nailed me."

"I'll have a few months off and have a proper think and speak to my trainer Billy Graham. I still think I've got improvement in me, but tonight wasn't my night."

Unbeaten Mayweather praised Hatton after his victory and said: "I just took my time and that was our gameplan. "

"I already knew coming into the ring it was going to be tough, that he was going to try to rough me up. I took my time. I fought on the inside and the outside. "A true champion can adapt to anything but I pushed myself to the limit. "

"Ricky Hatton is one tough fighter and he's still a champion in my eyes and I'd fight him again. He kept coming and I see why they call him the Hitman. "He ran into a check hook. He's one hell of a fighter but I took care of business and did the job. "


"But Ricky Hatton is one hell of a fighter and I have nothing but the utmost respect for him. He's tough as nails. I had him hurt a couple of times and I thought, 'damn, he's still coming'."

"Ricky Hatton is one tough fighter and he's still a champion in my eyes."

I see a lot of acknowlegdement that Floyd won fair & square and not many "excuses" there.

Why all the hate?

 

They're all upset because their mums take it in the ****ing ass.

It comes to something when Mayweather is being more gracious and respectful than some of the morons on here.

 

That's what everyone else saw too, only some people won't admit it because they have "selective hearing". Any any excuse they have to get at Rick, they will.

The hate is because he's from England. Simple. It's extreme nationalism bordering on racism. Look:

See what I mean?

There is no such thing as this "well knowen fackt". English people, in general, are very intelligent people. The small-minded drunken few give everyone else a bad name. Many of the greatest brains in the world have been in British heads, so, basically, this guy is talking complete bollocks. I'd advise him to check his spelling, too, before accusing ANYONE of being ignorant. Almost every word is spelt wrong, plus his grammar and punctuation is no better than your average 5-year old's. Way to go! Accuse the British of being ignorant while simultaneously clowning yourself through lack of ability to even speak or spell our language!

 

are u out of your ****in mind or simply that deep inside floyd's ass? floyd was doing the majority of the holding and u excuse the elbows by it?? you dont make much sense here.

 

because most of them are stupid floyd groupies or hatton haters, ppl in here dont make sense at all.
