you can't expect Cortez to play the role of Dave Parris and let Ricky mug and hold all night. Hatton admitted Floyd was too strong on the inside for him. Cortez did him a favor:yep
Hatton already admitted, "I couldn't hit the man even if we were in a phonebooth" He was getting outmuscled, beaten from pillar to post. He knew he had no chance, Mayweather was better than him on the inside and he knew it from the scuffles they had there, May was stronger than him too. Hatton was completely overmatched like Garcia vs Salka.
Floyd ko'd Hatton FIRST. Pactrash came along after Ricky was KO'd by Floyd and almost stopped by lightweight Juan Lazcano.:hi:
