did we miss something with the hatton mayweather fight?

[Althugz]

But who`s to say ricky would of been knocked out had the circumstances of the fight been completely different.

You cant claim to know that had ref different, ringsize been of a normal size etc etc, that hatton still would of got KO`ed!!

If Tommy hearns hadn't broken his hand on Hagler's mellon

If Delahoya had jabbed throughout the Mayweather fight

If Hopkins was more active in the last third of the Calzaghe fight

If If If If...

to claim hatton STILL would of been knocked out even if the circumstances had been different is absurd.

I for one know the day will never come when ricky hatton loses a fight on points - he has too much heart and courage to not go down fighting.

How is it absurd? I'm going by what I saw in the match and making an educated prediction. I saw Mayweather beating Hatton on the inside so a ref that allowed it would benefit Floyd further. I saw Mayweather standing in the pocket and engaging so your arguement for a smaller ring also falls flat on it's face.
Does that mean Ricky will get K.O'd quicker in a rematch? Of course not, this is boxing anything can happen..all we can do is predict. But with all the evidence gathered from the first fight, to call my prediction absurd is, well...absurd!
