"There was do destructiveness or explosiveness about Ricky's punching.

"Ricky is a technique fighter. He punches from the foot and is a leverage fighter. But you can't be building muscle while going through your boxing training at the same time because your motors will be all over the place. Ricky was calling upon his motors but his body was failing him.

"Kerry Kayes has done a fantastic job up there and did what was required of him in creating Ricky into a welterweight in next to no time. But what they needed was to split into phases, but then again they didn't have any time to do that.

"If he (Hatton) fights up there again though I hope they use a muscle building phase while easing into boxing training followed by a maintenance phase while developing sharpness.

"Personally I thought Ricky lost the fight by one point, 7 rounds to 5, but he did outland a slick and quick southpaw who was well set at the weight."

On Hatton/Witter:

"Hatton is the more complete fighter."

On Hatton/Mayweather:

"At 140lbs: If Hatton can cut off the ring, he'll win. If he can't, he won't.

"At 147lbs: Hatton could suffocate him into submission. If he has a good 16 weeks to prepare he can punch him into submission."
