Should Hatton license be revoked 4 his fighting style?

Yes.Give someone else a chance!!

 

well all i will say is wait untill his next fight were he fights someone that is say more Hatton's size and is quicker than Hatton.

look Hatton was ok but he isnt as great as his nuthugging fans make him out to be.
i mean **** he steps up to Welterweight against a guy like Collazo (who) and gets schooled hangs on for dear life and yet you would have us believe Hatton is the second comming of Duran when he couldnt hold Duran's jockstrap.

if Hatton is the man why no Cotto yet, why no Witter, why no Mosley hell why no PBF.

 

No Jack.

Jabbing is legal.

Holding is also legal.

EXCESSIVE holding is illegal, but the term excessive is subjective and so this rule is rarely enforced, other than by warnings.

Hatton should definitely NOT lose his license, but he should be warned, point deducted, another point deducted and DQd if he persists.

His style and that of Ruiz is illegal and he gets away with it.

If his fight with Tszyu had been properly reffed and the rules enforced, it would have been a different fight.

There are no rules that I know of re: 'running'.

 

I think he should just stay in England where that kind of fighting is accepted, comming over here pulling that **** is not going to help him make a name for himself, if he continues to fight like that against top opposition he will lose fans even fans at home.
Hatton has potential but that potential has only shown in fights of which he did alot of holding.

 

Maybe Hatton should become a wrestler?

 

as i said before, six of one and half a dozen of the other. if you think avoiding punishment by circling on the outside and potshotting is cowardly, you need to admit that clinching after every short volley when in range is equally cowardly, as it serves the same purpose: minimizing any chance of being hit and going out of one's way to avoid toe-to-toe punching where accuracy, instincts, intelligence, timing, speed, and power are (rightly) what get rewarded.

 

I don't like his fighting style either but he's no worse than Ruiz. It's not a brit thing.,

 

The should take his passport and do America a favor

 

Damn right! One of these days Hatton will dive straight into a punch, or he'll have to keep running to get a look in...this is the only punishment that Hatton deserves; the fans should love his aggressive style!

 

that's not an answer to what i said. yes or no, that sort of holding serves the same purpose as running (avoiding being hit at all costs - at the risk of honest, crowd-pleasing exchanges)? yes or no, this makes both styles equally cowardly and unappealing?

 

He's going to be offered a three fight HBO deal worth 10million,not sure if $ or £.

 

Hatton's holding aside from against Urango was not defensive. He bulls his way in and bullies his opponent, and still throws punches while the clinching is happening by the way. His mauling is much more for the purpose of tiring his opponent out than because he's afraid of getting hit, and in every fight where there was much holding save Urango, which admittedly was a turd of a fight, his opponent held just as much as he did

 

well what the hell else are you going to do when somebody's attempting to hold+hit you nonstop, other than try to neutralize this tactic by holding his arms down? he almost always initiates the clinches, and it's always right after he throws a punch, which negates any possibility of a counter, so i would argue it is a defensive measure, even if it does as a bonus serve additional offensive purposes ie wearing the opponent down.

 

what can the referee do if someone holds too much? Can he take a point off?

 

after an appropriate sequence of warnings.
