I actually made my first comments on this post without watching the videos ( i was at work and they dont work)

After watching the viedeos i tend to feel a bit sorry for Ricky. It appears he was in a no win situation. Cortez went into the fight thinking Hatton was the dirty fighter. On the sly, Mayweather was the one doing the majority of the fouling.

Ricky chances went from around 20% to pretty much zero. When Floyd bends below the waist, nobody can hit him (if he tries that in WWE Hornswoggle will kick the living piss out of him ). Ducking below the waist initiates clinching because Hatton only has 2 choices, either don't punch or punch downwards. Once they're clinching, Floyd does the holding and applies the rough stuff. Over the course of the fight Cortez presumes Hatton is the one fouling.....and Ricky loses his head.

Now to me this actually highlights the fact that Mayweather is one of the smartest fighters i have ever seen. It only adds to his talents. The fact that he has so much natural ability and he has more tricks up his sleeve than even Bernard Hopkins is quite frightening.

I'm a big Hatton fan and i genuinely don't think he was given a fair crack at it, but you can't help but admire Floyd's tactics for this fight. He was far too cute and smart for both Ricky and Cortez.

I can't see how anybody will beat him. What would Cotto be able to do against that?
