Dayuuum! That **** is badass, now we know what happens to a fighter when he truly pisses Mayweather off and backs him into a corner. Mayweather said it best, "Sometimes your mouth can write a check your ass can't cash". Well Hatton wrote that check after his win over Castillo, and Floyd came to collect :yep
There are really no losers from this fight. Hatton got the biggest payday of his career. He probably didn't cash that check his ass wrote - but he cashed the one Oscar wrote. It's a win-win situation for him. His bank account grew much bigger - his status in boxing is pretty much the same (no shame losing to the best in the sport) - and he won over a bunch of American Fans. If you ask me - Floyd won the fight - but Hatton didn't lose much. He probably gained more from this fight - than he would have without it.
Word to KayEpps. Hatton deserves nothing but respect. It's pretty Shameful to see all the bitching about him on here. Call yourselves boxing fans?
That's true: better to be outclassed yet give it your all and be KO'd, than to be able to win but to be unwilling to put it all on the line.
Floyd told Ellerbe that after Hatton had his post-fight interview after beating Castillo. This was from 24/7 and reaffirmed by Lampley on the PPV.
Now Cotto should do something like that. On his own merit. Speak your mind Miguel! Not Bob Arum's opinion on your future plans!
