The Hatton Is A Natural 140lb Excuse Is Lame

hmm

I think it was definately a disadvantage for Hatton to be fighting at WW rather than Jr.WW

No I'm not taking away credit from Floyd. Like i said before the fight, Hatton called out Floyd when he was already at WW so of course its up to him to move up. But i still believe it had an impact. IMO having a strength advantage is crucial for a guy who fights like Hatton. At 147 he doesn't have it.

 

The same can be said with Floyd, he could probably make 40 if he had too. Hatton was just outclassed simple as that, and Floyd is too good to let a brawler that comes in wide open beat him. Class always beats crap, and in this fight, you saw two guys in their primes, (not one older former great fighter), facing each other and you see what a well schooled complete fighter does to someone who has a lot of holes in their game. It just goes to show you how well Hatton was brought along, because there was plenty of guys at welterweight that could have taken advantage of the mistakes Hatton has always made.

 

:good

The weight certainly didn't help. I doubt the large ring and large gloves helped Hatton either (except for maybe when he was getting KO'd ). But generally I think Mayweather transitioned to 147 a lot easier than Hatton, and this is mostly due to the way that he fights, not because he's a naturally larger guy (which he probably is).

I say any top 5 welter besides PBF beats Hatton: Cotto, Williams, Cintron, Margarito.

 

Excellent post!

 

So Hatton is crap for losing to PBF? Maybe, if PBF isn't all that good. I would like to see you make it to ten rounds with Floyd.

The fact is that Hatton left himself wide open because he was trying to get the KO. He had to get the KO since he was far behind on the cards. (Not as far as the corrupt judges had it though)

You guys crack me up. If PBF lost then he would have sucked. Hatton lost so he sucks. I guess boxing IS black and white but in a different manner than the racists see it.

 

The whole floyd started at 130 is lame. DLH started at 130 too, so does that mean that if he ends up fighting Pacquiao a true p4p type fighter it would do anything to enhance DLH creds? The answer is no! It would actually hurt DLH.

Floyds performance was good, really good actually, but lets be real, do you think Hatton can beat Cotto, Mosley, Williams, or even guys like Margarito? The answer again is no. Just like L. Merchant pointed out, Floyd took the easiest way to make the most money and thats fine, but see it how it is, not how you want it to be. He still hasnt proven hes the top dog at 147 thats a fact not an opinion.

 

Wrong he has proved it he did it by beating the linear champ Baldo and is the man at 147 period:deal BTW how did your usual prediction of picking aginst PBF go for you?:hi:

 

It still doesn't matter. PBF is the linear champ at 147. He beat the man who beat the man. You can't take that away from him.

 

Mayweather had a clear size and reach advantage over Hatton. I understand this not his fault, but it is your fault not being able to see this.

 

It's a legit reason simply because weighing 147 pounds Hatton is not a very good fighter.
