It was fixed

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Floyd was off balance. NEVER was he hurt against Hatton.

He was wobbled, he got caught on the chin and his knees went underneath him

The clearest sign of this is when he nodded his head to indicate he wasnt hurt, a sure sign with fighters that they indeed were hurt and were trying to convince their opponent they werent!!

In fact, the the contrary, Most fighters nod they weren't hurt when they WERE.

David Haye nods when ever he is tagged.

Mayweather just gives a simpleton smile. God I hate that grin of his...

Very Lennie Smallesque of "Of Mice and Men".

Hatton never hurt Mayweather more like Floyd was of balance if you ask me.

Floyd was off balance. NEVER was he hurt against Hatton.

Exactly.. funny, because i got neg repped for saying that Hatton never hurt Floyd a few days ago.. From Kel i think.. dumb.

Well, he might have gotten hurt if the rope didn't catch his frustration rabbit punch.

It happens around 1:30 of this video. No way is Mayweather hurt, Hatton doesn't even land clean and it was a jab for fucksake. Mayweather was just off-balance.

Watching the video, I do miss Hatton. His square style with his get in your face tactics, that's why the fans loved him as he came to fight.

I'm sure when he did catch Mayweather was later on, 5 or 6. Might have been even later than that, just before he lost his way and got hammered.

Watching that shot at 1.30 a few more times, first glance it looks like it just knocks him off balance, looking again, when Mayweather recovers his balance his legs look wobbly still, much like against Mosley.

To reply to the title I just don't know. I did feel it was a bit funny that Shane Mosley who usually is well known for getting his man out of there quickly when they are hurt and for finishing very strong down the stretch couldn't do either. I mean I have never seen Mayweather get hit like that. His legs completely gone and him simply being out of it for well over a half a round. Then for him to sweep every single round after that? What the hell happened to Mosley ? He didn't get hit with anything to not make him think twice about coming in for the kill. He simply held on to Mayweather after he tagged him almost like he was holding him up and then his excuse was "I tightened up". Larry Merchant said "Shane you have been fighting for sixteen years and you tightened up?".

When I watched it the first time I seen Shane lackadazicul and out of gas in about the fourth round. Mouth wide open and slouched in his corner. The only thing that came to my mind was them damn blood tests and surprise UT's. I kept wrapping my mind around it.How the hell could someone who was so good at getting his man out of there just suddenly give up. So I asked a few people what they thought about the fight. Granted these are not the brilliant Saddo posters but fighters. When I asked these 3 people. They all said the same thing. "This fight seemed funny probably fixed". Truth is I don't know myself but when millions of dollars are at stake and the potential all-time grossing fight is waiting in the background one could just never know. I would never rule out a fix.

You can't state these obvious facts because it means you're not giving floyd credit and you have to give him credit because he's been crying about not getting credit.

Shane looked as tired as Roy Jones in the first tarver fight and it was before Floyd did anything of significance...

The fact that even after the second big blow and the ref broke them, Floyd stumbled across the ring and Shane didn't finish him? I was convinced then that he was too tired to even throw punches and possibly overtrained, which is when I knew the fight was over....I stood up and said "he's about to lose ten rounds in a row.."

I still can't by it though. How can a guy we all have seen fight ( Shane ) just suddenly tire when we have NEVER see it before from him in any other fight.50 some odd fight's and he was completely gassed in four rounds? In his biggest fight to date he just suddenly gets tired and stops throwing punches for the rest of the fight? Goes into survival mode after he had clearly rocked Mayweather? It wasn't as if Mosley landed something heavy than threw a hole shit load of punches and simply ran out of steam. Hell I don't think he threw one punch after that damaging right hand.

Yes, it looks as though hatton's jab never really landed. But something i never noticed before... if you keep an eye on Mayweather's feet it looks like Hatton may have accidentally stepped on his left foot.

It definitely looks like that could be the case. Welcome to the forum btw.

It was very strange to watch...Mosley has always hit the other guy back almost immediately after being hit, he is one of the best finishers ever, never tires, in fact he comes on late in fights...the mouth being open was very weird and only suggests overtraining and inactivity...

[ElTerribleMorales]

Mosley looked completely gassed against Mayorga in the later rounds until he finally picked up the pace and got the stoppage, he tried to do the same thing against Mayweather in the 11th and 12th only thing is Floyd already had him figured out and is on another level than Mayorga

thats understandable because mayorga came into the ring weighing 172....

David Haye has fought before?

[KKisser]

At this level, it's very difficult to 'fix' fights in comparison to when a prospect is on the way up. If anyone thinks it was a fix, check Oscar's reaction when Shane stuns Floyd, that's definitely a man who was pulling for a Floyd win

oscar could be thinking, "wtf you doing shane! that's not what we talked about."

lol

Ive seen it a hundred times and will say time and time again to anyone that doesnt believe he was hurt to simply study his legs once he regains his balance on the ropes and see the silly jig he gives to indicate he is still trying to find his balance.

it wasnt a clean full on punch but it was a glancing blow that caught him on the chin and his immidiate reaction took him back onto the ropes where his legs continued to wobble for a second or two.

He also immidiately after ran straight to the other side of the ring while ricky hunted him down in a desperate attempt to regain his composure

floyd was hurt no doubts
