After this performance, who honestly wants to see Hatton lose to PBF? The outcome is no longer in question. This kid, exciting as he is, has NO defense. He constantly gets hit coming in. This might be an easier fight for PBF than Gatti. Collazo only has 9 KO's and almost KO'd Hatton. And he closed one of his eyes.
Now we all can officially scratch Hatton's name off PBF's possible opponents list.
CC I was cheering for Hatton, because I had never seen his opponent before, but he lost that fight IMO or at least had a closer fight than he should have... a focused Judah or Mayweather would make Hatton look like how Mayweather made Gatti look... I don't even know if Hatton could beat Gatti.
Hatton-Gatti would be like the 3rd Ward fight imo. Gatti would decision himQuote:

Have a CC yourself. Kinda refreshing to hear a Hatton fan being objective about the whole thing. IMO, the fight was very close and could've gone either way. The one judge had it my too much of a margin, and a split decision or a draw would've been acceptable.Quote:

So how you, or anyone else could judge hatton purly on that match is freaking shocking tbh.. rome wasn't built in a day matey
CC as for Calazo(I think thats his name) he really impressed me and should definitely be considered a top contender... He is really good.
did you know that Mayweather has 6 more inches of reach with EACH ARM as opposed to the 2 inches per arm tonight. Also Mayweather is taller than Hatton. Is much faster with his feet than Hatton's current opponent, harder puncher, and a better inside/body puncher. Sure Mayweather throw those combinations, but he would throw the same combinations he did against Gatti, remember that? It would be an ugly fight... Mayweather would be so much quicker he could literally put all his power behind every punch which not even Hatton would take though I give him all the credit in the world for taking what he did tonight.Quote:

I am a big Hatton fan but all of that ruiz technique has got to go. Either that or allow boxing to become ultimate fighting because a lot of grabbers are are becoming very successful with the right refs.
YOUR RIGHT THE AMOUNT OF RIGHT HANDS HATTON WILL TAKE WILL BE JUST TO MUCH. I DON'T THINK MAYWEATHER WILL HAVE ENOUGH ONE PUNCH POWER TO KNOCK HATTON OUT( UNLESS ITS TIMED TO PERFECTION)
BUT IT HINK IT WILL TAKE ITS TOLL.
NOW IF HE FOUGHT JUDAH HE COULD GET BLOWN OUT IN QUICK TIME.
THE FIGHT WILL BE LIKE GATTI VS MAYWEATHER. I THINK HATTONS CORNER WILL PULL HIM OUT.
Gatti is a better fighter than Hatton.......Collazo is better than Hatton, PBF is better, Judah is better. Hell the only fight I would want to see hatton in would be against Mayorga..Quote:

This would NOT happen against a Orthodox fighter...If collazo was not a southpaw he'd have gotten stopped early....
I seriously doubt that with Hatton's openess in between his swings.
And Mayweather can fight Southpaw and orthodox when the situation calls for it ;)
So you're giving Hatton an excuse for facing a southpaw?
What was your prediction before this fight?
I knew that this fight would go to a Decision..
I have all 40 of hattons fights, and every southpaw he fought he had problems with...So this is NO surprise...
its a surprise to those who thought Ricky could walk through Collazo and that just because he took Tszyu's shots he'd be able to take Collazo's well.
Rick was exposed by the same flaws Vilches and Magee exposed that were there years ago, if Ricky was ever going to move forward those openings wouldn't be there anymore, but those openings are still there as they were 5 years ago.
That is as good as Hatton gets against a boxer and he will be beaten next time, not just exposed against that style.
YOu talk the way you talk because all you have seen from hatton is Kostya, and this fight.....
Wrong again :lickish:
I been following the Hitman for years and I still see the same openings he had 5 and 6 years ago :) This is as good as he's going to get against that style. Otherwise he will look very good against any man who will just stand in front but against a boxer he will always have trouble and his openings will all be exposed AGAIN as I've seen plenty more of Hatton then the Tszyu fight :)
In that case then its like i said before...
From here on out, you will lose money EVERYTIME you be against him...
Yes fighting a southpaw can be difficult for a orthodox but isn't hatton a lb.4lber. There are certain ways to fight southpaws and certain punches to throw to nullify the southpaw advantage. Hatton wasn't throwing those kind of punches.The whole southpaw thing is a poor excuse.What,he didn't know he was fighting a southpaw? If hes as good as you think he should of been able to figure collazo out.Judah is a southpaw i consider better than collazo.He and pbf fought and at first floyd was having problems but being the great fighter he is he adapted and then dominated.Hatton couldn't do that against a fighter he was suppose to blow out.Quote:

Zab should NOT be considered because zab would get put to sleep.....
I only picked against Ricky in this fight TBH. And the next time I pick against him will be against Mayweather or Judah in which case I will NOT lose money :)Quote:

Judah would get hit with one Left hook and be so wobbly he'd think he's in Japan....
And mayweather....well we have already established that....
established what?
And Hatton is open for more things then Judah is ;)
Established that Mayweather is a woman, and does not belong in the Ring with a Warrior..
I was about to go to bed but i read this. Mayweather a woman, come on man I hope they get in the ring and if mayweather is a woman like you said who is ricky gonna feel after getting b**** slapped by a woman he wont be able to touch all night he will get slapped because he is a woman right?Quote:

is he okay? because it does not appear that way to me?
You guys are not understanding....
But i'm gonna log of by saying this..
YOU WILL ALL LOOSE YOUR MONEY IF YOU EVER BET AGAINST HATTON!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
You seem to have lost more then money if you think Collazo hits harder then Judah and Mayweather.
then you know what when and if he fight PBF put all that money on him and see how poor you will be after your boy gets slapped around by a woman.
You are taking that statement to heart....not understanding what i mean. I mean that collazo at 147 has more power then mayweather at 147 and judah, which will be obvioius when either one of those two guys fights hatton and hatton walks through everything They throw...
you mean walks into everything they trow correct because he is not walking thrue Zab's power.
So basically you're saying Collazo hits harder then Mayweather or Judah? They are all at the same weight class so. Are you, or are you not saying that Collazo hits harder then Mayweather and/or Judah?
im a hatton fan, but that is sheer blind devotion....hatton needs to do a lot of work if he is to live up to any of his promises...Quote:

collazo is not in the same league as PBF on the back of 1 hatton fight....he might be better than expected, but he's no pound for pounder....
the fight raises many questions and hattons next fight and performance will be crucial....

This fight was nothing but a feel out at 147. He is the only guy that went from 140 and fought a natural 147 pounder. Judah did it and got smashed by a Bumb (Buldozer), Mayweather went up and fought 2 guys who are 140 pounders.....
Hatton did somehting that neither Judah/ Mayweather did....
Actually... No.
Mayweather adapted to the situation and took control of the fight.
Hatton did the same thing over and over again and got beat because of it. He never changed it up, he just did the same thing and never adapted to it he just stuck with plan A. Mayweather switched to plans B and C.
BIG difference.

Adapting, Something hatton has done before which was NOT necessary against this Guy he whooped today..
the truth is that hatton stepped up against a relative unknown and had great difficulty....does that not suggest anything?? it didnt go according to plan....hatton was meant to win much more easily....Quote:
