Thread: I have always thought.......

....that beating Tszyu was Hatton's best performance! I now think lasting 10 rounds with PBF is.

To be honest Ricky did a very decent job vs Floyd....the problem was he was small and the fight was outside his comfortable weight class.

Think about how tough JMM is to last the distance and he was 2 weight classes out of the highest weight class he had competed in and he didn't even look all that great then.

I still se the Tszyu fight as his best performance but had there been a different ref in the PBF fight it would be a total different story win or lose that would have been a career performance!

He is tough but i think it was more to do with the fact that Floyd needed rounds against JMM,and Hatton said that PBF couldnt punch so he wanted to stop him as with Mosley he wanted to stop also but Mosley stopped in there.

Ricky would of lost anyway wouldnt of mattered who the ref was Floyd was too good he would of got Hatton in the end.I agree it did'nt help Hatton but it would of only taken an extra round or 2 to figure him out.

tbh it wasn't even a case of figuring Hatton out, he just had to smother and blunt hatton... by the 6th round hatton was exhausted and slow so Floyd could just pick him apart.

Again Ricky let himself down with the 'powered by beer and pork pies' persona cos he could of lasted 12 had he lived more like an athlete.

He had to be at least 240 at the weigh in the other night, what a fucking fatty.
