Hatton?

I know Ricky looked really average in the fight, but surely this one poor performance doesnt mean its all over for him like some of you guys are saying. collazo was tricky and slick, and it was hattons first at the weight and surely he will get more power training at this weight. I just think its a bit early to right him off all factors considered. fair play to collazo though he looked good and deserves a rematch. I just think we need to see Hattons next move and performance, before we give up on the lad, even though he got a gift 2day.
And yes I know hes not ready for floyd yet but im sure Ricky knows that himself.

who are you?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ricky didn't do what he usually does on the inside and that's why Collazo went the distance.

I really think that Ricky tried to KO him once he knocked him down and since then he was throwing too wide and one at a time. He usually throws in bunches and short punches.

This fight is gonna haunt Ricky (in a good way) much like Cotto is haunted by the Corley and Torres fights.

Hatton is a good fighter, and that didn't disappear from him he just fought Collazo's style worse than he usually fights other styles.

cc lyle good points
what do you mean who are you mad dog?

that deserves a cool click mate spot on ;)

you know mate i cant understand the hate if im honest it was a close fight and hatton got the nod for me it means hes still in the mix... which aint a bad thing at all ;)

US is good for 2nd chances, I'm sure the fans will warm to him. I mean it's like if Wright-Soliman was the first fight anyone saw of Wright they would not appreciate his true skill. Ricky looked bad because of the STYLE match up along with the lack of work on the inside.

Ricky should stick it out at 147, a fight with the Baldomir-Gatti winner would do GREAT things for him
