why is that something to be ashamed of? he's 43-1 now after moving up in weight to fight p4p #1 fighter and also making a fight of it, he's still the champ at 140, and made probably $20million from that fight. me i enjoyed the fight, the result wasn't what i wanted but all respect to mayweather for his performance in the ring and the class he showed after the fight. the difference between me and you, is that if mayweather was white and hatton black, you would have been suporting hatton, now that's something to be ashamed of you *****.
I am still to understand what were those right tactics and game-plan. Do people here realise that he walked straight-forward into Mayweather and Floyd just had to step back a little and discharge a right on his face or step a side and left hook him? He was just psyched up to move forward and hit Floyd like he did to Billy Graham's body-bag. He didn't put into practise cause there was no theory... Billy Graham said in Sky Sports Studio for the Mayweather-Gatti Live broadcast that Ricky would take steps in and left hook him first when Floyd would take that step back to load up his right counter and that was after Floyd finished Gatti - Johnny Nelson and Nicky Piper were there, Check it out... Billy Graham should be crucified or have all his fingers crossed for that reason, what a BUM!
Please. There's no need to act like a ****. By taking my post serious you are obviously not quite as bright as you may think. Some of you guys have absolutely no sense of humor, do you? And for the record, I have been in the ring. 17 times, to be precise, with 17 wins, no losses. Since 2002 I am unable to continue due to injuries to my left shoulder which were picked up from outside the sport. As for Hatton being ahead on points, are you guys saying I'm tripping or what? That's what I saw! If I can get a chance to see the fight again (it's been taken off YouTube and I erased it off my hard drive already) I will take a screenshot when the points cards were flashed up. None of this makes any difference, Floyd won in the 10th and no one is disputing that fact, but by watching the fight without bias you see it in a different light. Does anyone REALLY doubt that Cortez wasn't a complete pain in the ass who interfered way too much? I refuse to see one thing any other way -- Hatton would have stood a better chance had the referee been unbiased. This doesn't mean "Hatton would have won", but that isn't even the point being made here anyway.
It would be even better if when playing floyd there is a death move when your facing Hatton(a la Mortal Combat) basically a hook to face leads to a decapitation by a ring buckle:rofl:rofl:rofl
There was nothing to suggest it was a joke. No humor, no smileys suggesting sarcasm, nothing. Don't blame me for not laughing, it simply wasn't funny, sorry. Good for you. But then again, on the internet we're all champs. I was talking about the official scorecards, they were all in favor of Floyd by quite a margin. The referee was biased (I agree) because Hatton usually is the dirty fighter, Floyd isn't. Most of Floyd's dirty work was done outside the refs vision, Floyd simply was a little smarter with his fouls.
If he doesnt like rough house tactics, he should give Kostya his title back. This is sad. And, like many of the Mayweather detractors said when size was discussed during the DLH build up: "If you dont want to fight at 147, dont sign the contract at 147" Perhaps Ricky shoulda taken his beating like a man at 140. Oh yeah, there were no good excuses at 140.
As an over-the-top Tszyu fan, I would like to thank Hatton for making those lame excuses, as well as his fans for complaining about Cortez. Two final words: Dave Parris. Three more: Payback's a *****.
So what? This is boxing.Hatton is well conversed with mauling and fouling tactics.His one loan ploy didnt work as Floyd used it against him.Deal with it.
