If you give Hatton fans an excuse

no doubt. Hatton got lit up cause he was forced to box on the outside, otherwise he probably would've lost a close fight.

 

he didn't just lose cause he was forced to box, he lost because all of his so called "inside fighting skills" simply weren't as good as floyd's.

 

exactly

 

I've only been a member of this forum for a few days, but I'm already WAY sick of Hatton fans acting like complete idiots in this thread.

The worst part is that they admit they are being ridiculous! After every STUPID point some of these people make they go "Of course I know Floyd would still have won the fight IF..."

Well then SHUT UP!

 

atsch

You ****in morons come out of the cracks of a bathroom floor or what? Hatton was beat by the better man, simple as that. No one's saying he was FORCED To box.

****....another **** talking, thinks-he-knows-it-all, little *****. All this board needs. Just another ignorant Floyd fan. :-(

 

as opposed to personal attacks, which are always welcome?

 

Bull**** - Floyd payed the turnbuckle off.

 

Sure, why not. I've been attacked a ton of times for my opinion by Floyd fanboys.

So, where are all these EXCUSES that the thread is talking about? I guess there were a ton of posters who said "Hatton lost because he was FORCED TO BOX?" :huh

We both know this is a bull**** thread where maybe one or two Hatton fans may have said something stupid. But idiots like the threadf starter prefer to lump all into one group and act as if that is the overall concensus. Thats rarely true here...for any fan or fighter.

 

Yeah right he was forced to box . . . because that is a boxing match. Isn't that what was uppose to happen?

Allowing him to wrestle and grapple under the boxing rules will be stupid.

Damn . . . pathetic.

 

i'm not sure that's what was meant. i could be wrong though, the first post wasn't especially clear on that.

i may be new here, but it does seem like there's a lot of exuses (or at least, issues that heavily factored into hatton's loss) for hatton losing (weight and reffing being the ones that come to mind), so it doesn't seem completely unreasonable to address that.

 

I think Mayweather fans are the only people still going on about Hatton...it's gonna be a long year for them with him 'retiring' again. I expected Floyd to stop Hatton late in the fight and that's what happened...I just wish I put money on it. Expect these threads to continue for a while but just like Mayweather...the sport will move on.

 

Yawn.

I think what Hatton fans (and I'm not one of them, I really didn't care who won that fight) point out the most is this.

Well, it seems as though Cortez only applied the rules to one fighter.

Hatton was docked a point (fairly) for hitting behind the head.
Floyd was allowed to elbow the throat and head of Hatton all fight - with Cortez even ADMITTING that he allowed that - with no deductions. Just continual 'warnings' that never amounted to anything.

So, one guy can't foul, and gets a point deduction.
The other guy, can do anything he likes, without a point deduction, and the ref even admitting he allowed to do so.


Now that, is not "firm but fair" refereeing. that's a ****, home town biased ref.

IMO, Hattons had enough of those (I much prefer Tszyu over PBF or Hatton as a fan) to just have to lump it on this occasion IMO.

But can you imagine the FloydBoy uproar if that fight had occured in the UK, and the ref had done the opposite, and even come out after the fight and admitted he let Hatton foul because "he was only defending himself???"

The board would have melted down from the overuse of emoticons......
