    The ref would never have penalized Hatton and Ricky would not have lost his head mid way into the fight.
    There's no place, time or dimension that Hatton could have won, Master.

    I know it's cliche to say this now but it's so appropriate - "Ricky's dad could have been ref..." you know the rest.

    (Actually, you never know..based on recent events Ricky's dad could have turned villain mid way and clotheslined Ricky out of his boots. Maybe even a steel chair shot..) Either way Floyd wins

    Oh don't cry because I countered your irrelevant insult about me wearing "woodstain" with an equally irrelevant jibe back at you.

    I guess Fatton will be comfy at heavyweight right now.

    He was a smallish lightwelter weight and even smaller welterweight. His strength won't be much of a factor at 147, making him a bit of an unfortunate infighter.

    I definitely wouldn't say he was a small light welter. He almost looked drained at times at 140. Those cold sore outbreaks he used to get on weigh in days are a sure sign of his lowered immune system..possibly due to weight drain?

    LOL@ this guy! The triumph of sugar over diabetes.

    Can we have another 'yo moma' quip althugz?

    Collazo beat hatton. Please post your scorecard because collazo winning 6 rounds would still be a hatton win due to the KD! Please don't tell me hatton won 5 rounds! LOL.

    Collazo wasn't robbed. He lost a close fight. He should look no further than his bout against Jose Antonio Rivera, in which Collazo won the belt in the first place. How did he do it? On a split decision in an even closer fight than hatton! Hatton deserves props for a great fight, against a top fighter on american soil @ 147!

    'Althugz' does what it says on the tin!

    True but he was never physical big at the weight come fight night. Case in point - Castillo who was a monster at135 was a lot bigger than Hatton come fight night. Hatton is not a physically awesome guy at 140 and looked deminutive against even Floyd Mayweather at 147.
    If Hatton had of fought Katsidids, I doubt there'd of been much if anything between them.

    Hatton struggled at 147 because he fought two fighters who were technically better, had faster hands and threw punches in combinations. If he'd have fought those same guys at 140 he would have encountered the same problems because he has basic defensive flaws that have been glossed over by fighting 35 or so spoon fed opponents. Warren kept him away from that kind of fighter because he knows what he's doing.

    I never understood how "140 being his best weight" was relevant at all in regards to the Floyd fight. Floyd had no problem making 140, it was Ricky who had to cut a ton of weight to get down there.

    Seems it just made it easier for him to fight at 147.
