    Another good part. Ducking below the waist, you have to duck below your own waist.... not the waist of the other fighter. Imagine one of the shorter heavyweights fighting valuev and not being able to bend out of the way of punches because they are not allowed to bend past his waste. ROFL. This video is so so bias.

    The parts where he says Floyd never gets warned, he cuts out where he gets warned and goes to the next clip. Lol. What an amazing job at being bias.


    Hatton lost, deal with it.

    You Hatton fans need to stop being a bunch of cry-baby sissies and accept that your man got beaten--not to mention knocked out--fair and square.

    The padding in the turnbuckle was not of regulation padding....It was made of super strong steel and painted... Therefore, when Ricky hit it, he was knocked out.. Nothing to do with the 10 rounds of beatings or the 'check' hook... PBF is a bum. Also, Ricky was drugged... Obviously that has to do with lack luster performance. Out classed.. Nah not Ricky....

    Shows how good Hatton is that video does.

    It's very hard to keep him off you, look how close he constantly gets to Floyd. Mayweather resorted to bending over and elbows to combat it. If Floyd had fought a conventional fight, he would have been overwhelmed, in the positions Hatton got him in, but he fought a very, very clever fight with the ref being a great assistant.

    That's a good video on a fighter using some dirty tactics. Of course the author can make a video on the Hatton-Tszyu fight about grabbing and holding or Cotto's landing low blows after he gets hurt... Most elite fighters are using some tricks and not always honest, legal tactics... and it's bad... But the bigger problem is if the referee can't handle these situations. Can't or just don't want to... a few warnings and point deductions would do the right thing but it's rare and most fighters can get away with the less visible, less obvious dirty tactics...

    Maybe Ricky should man up and fight Witter. Then if he wins that "conventional" fight then you Fatton fans might have a case. I've never seen a bunch of clowns like this complain about getting to witness one of the all time great performances in a boxing ring. If you are true boxing fans you would be thankful for the clinic that Floyd put on. It was very Hopkinsesque in the total gameplanning and utter dismantling of another fighter to the point of his complete frustration and ultimately his defeat. Stop whining and look at the big picture, you got to watch a great show. Ricky should use more head movement when diving in blindly or that turnbuckle will get him everytime.

    I'm bored of hearing that when Floyd and Hopkins clinch, bend over, headbutt, punch and hold, elbow etc that they're 'putting on a clinic' and they have 'brilliant gameplans and unrivalled ring smart'

    But when Hatton clinches or punches and holds he's boring or when Cotto low blows he's a cheat and should be DQ'd.

    The reason Floyd is givin credit is because that is not his normal fight plan. He adapted to the roughhousing tactics of a far inferior fighter to essentially beat him at his own game.

    If Hatton is a far inferior fighter, why did Floyd have to resort to elbowing, bending over, punching and holding and pushing his gloves in his face to beat him??

    Surely he could just outboxed him?

    The fact is, whether Hatton is a dirty illegal tactics using mofo or not, Floyd is apparently the P4P king. Why then, if this is what he is, does he need to resort to any illegal tactics at all? Surely he can just box beautifully without the need to cheat? Let's be realistic about this for a minute and stop the tired old "your boy lost, get over it" bull**** for a change. Someone explain why such an amazing P4P king boxer needs to cheat even once, please.

    Oddly enough I posted the same question as you were posting this.
