Hatton is good, but the Collazo fight was no fluke, it showed that he can be out worked and outboxed, although i felt that cause of the knockdown Ricky pulled out the win, but just barely
CC, agreed. But remember that the hand thing with Gatti is not just an explanation/excuse for him getting in some trouble in the Damgaard fight; it's also a liability going forward. If he fought Hatton and broke his hand early on, I am sure that Hatton--with all his pressure--would make Gatti pay far more than Damgaard did. I think that hand is potentially a MAJOR problem in EVERY fight for Gatti going forward.
