The Hatton that beat Kostya Tszyu looked very different then the one last week

Hatton is on the downside. He just didn't seem like himself against Pac. He seemed a few steps slower, which against Pacman means you are not going to land.

 

I've said it before n I'll probably say it again, the Hatton - Tzsyu fight was a **** fight, Hatton was sloppy and Tzsyu was only a patch of his former self.

The Hatton that fought last week only looked different coz he was fighting someone he couldnt get close to like he could with Tszyu.

 

You realise what a monumentally weak division 140 is throughout history, right? That's the only reason he's in the top 3. What Hatton/Tszyu was tactically brilliant on Hatton's part, but please show me where in the fight he shows brilliant ability as a pugilist?

 

Tzsyu ****ing owns southpaws. The timing on the right hand would hit Pac all night long, Pac is a mid range fighter just where KT wants the fight.

 

The manhandling was largely due to having a British referee that allowed Hatton to hold and maul on the inside. Not trying to take anything away from Ricky's victory over Tszyu because he did what he was supposed to and that is win.

 

Tszyu was utterly shot, he left hand was basically not there at all, this is a fact.

Tszyu would KO Pacman, this is a fact.

Look how the average right hands of Marquez dominated Pacman my friends.

Tszyu would 100% of the time KO Pacman at 140, maybe even the utterly shot Tszyu that fought Hatton.

 

In the past 35 years,at 140 we have seen Antonio Cervantes,Wilfred Benitez,Julio Cesar Chavez,Oscar DeLaHoya,Aaron Pryor,Alexis Arguello and now Manny Pacquiao,and those are the ones I can remember.Each and everyone one of them in their respective primes(we all know Tszyu beat a shot Chavez) would absolutely obliterate prime Tszyu just as Vince Phillips obliterated him.All of you out there that claim he's no 3 at 140 need a history lesson before making crazy claims.And what about some of the oldtime greats like Henry Armstrong?Sheesh.Just imagine what a prime Duran would have done to him if there existed a fantasy prime matchup with Tszyu and Duran would not have jumped over 140 to challenge Leonard.

 

Now I live in Sydney..I won't put down Tszyu.He's a legend around here.But Hatton's defense or lack there of is the number 1 reason why he got sent to wonderland.

He got away with running into punches headfirst and handsdown, just to get into a grapple postion where he can work..Just not this time..

I also notice the kid lacks punches, he's basically a leaping left hooker.

He is effective when in close, where he can hold slash hit his opponent, behind the head and give a few headlocks. Low blows.But really he has nothing apart from those.

He could win with the right ref. Seriosuly, Hatton isn't that good, period. he likens he self to mexicans azteca warrior. Not even close.Maybe in UFC, Hatton stops Pac in UFC not in boxing.

 

The problem for Ricky was that Steele had warned him for rabbit punching in the first round, whereas the ref for the Tszyu fight may as well be crow pecking him on top of what Hatton was doing.

 

Correction: great technical fighter with freaky reflexes.

 

T.S. you still there..LOL

 

******s always look at the Phillips fight without discussing Kostya's pre-fight prep. atsch

 

Please STFU, your ignorance is starting to become annoying.

 

Your definition sucks. Phillips went to hospital for treatment after that fight - He had to walk through hell to win that fight.

A raping was what Manny did to Hatton - Tszyu's chin is much sturdier than that.
