LOL. Ok champ. If you happened to notice I said he's normally on point, but he's way off on this one.
I just see it time and time again for various fighters (not just Hatton) It happens to Floyd as well-no matter how he performs against Hatton he'll get a slagging as well. Articles like the one under discusion are killing this site. Right I'm off to get pissed and maybe shave my balls! Not neccesairily in that order!:smoke
The point still stands. You are implying Hatton is garbage and this will be proven when Floyd embarrasses him but it begs the question are Tito and Chico **** because they were dominated? No! So your point was in fact 'garbage'.
He does hold because he is strong. Becuase he is muscling his opponent and tiring them out. Because he is on the inside. Because he is hitting at the same time. Because he wants to fight his fight at his pace and manouver opponents so he can land the shots he wants. I'm sure you find Floyd v Baldo and DLH riveting. Hattons an exciting fighter. Don't hate just because you can't appreciate different fighters.
Hopkins did it many years ago when he was fresh as a daisy. Sandy Saddler did it as well! Is he ****?
OK, Hatton is a two weight champion, 43-0. Obviously he is not garbage. Its just that PBF is that good and just happens to be a stylistic NIGHTMARE for Ricky.
Don't put words in my mouth. Your using BigGame's words for me. Hopkins had held more as his age advance, but if you want to try to tell me that Hopkins held like Hatton does when he was 28 youre seriously losing your mind.
Glad we cleared that up. If either of them lose, its just a loss. They are both proven fighters. We need to stop ruining the big fights with talk that is garbage.
What have I used of BigGames? X holds and hits and is called a master onthe inside. Stop hiding behind this age BS. Jack Johnson held and hit! Is he garbage? Hattons an inside fighter. He does whatever he can to get there and then uses an array of moves to win.
OK. I'm not talking Hatton with you, your panties get all in a bunch. Prime Hopkins did not hold nearly as much as he does now. Thats there for anyone with eyes to see. His holding is completely relative to his age. Hatton holds in his prime. Period. Jack Johnson fought in the era of 40 round bouts for ****s sake. I think that gives a little leeway for taking a breather here and there.
